Thank you. It's great to be back in Porta Lega. It's been, what, 15 months or something since I was here last? So it's always good to be here. So this morning you heard a number of talks about egoism, about altruism, about Einstein's philosophical foundation for capitalism. And I want to go back to this idea of what it means to be egoistic, what it means to be selfish. So to be egoistic, one is primarily concerned with one, one is concerned with one's own life. Your moral focus is on trying to make your life as an individual the best life that it can be. To live a flourishing, successful life. Now how do we do that? How do you do that? And aren't we all, at the end of the day, isn't everybody selfish? Doesn't everybody do what's good for them? No, I wish. And the reason is that we, unlike other animals, we do not have pre-programmed in us the knowledge of what it takes to be successful human beings. What it means to be successful at living. Plants know what values to pursue and they do it automatically. Animals know what values to pursue in order to survive, in order to stay in existence, and they do it automatically. We don't know anything. I mean look around this room. A bunch of weak, I'm looking, I'm making sure this is true, slow, no fangs, no claws. I mean I drop you in the middle of the Amazon, you don't have a clue. You don't know how to survive instinctually. You don't have the instincts for survival. You don't have the knowledge encoded in your DNA of how to make food. You can't even hunt.  And you know, I don't know where food comes from. I once asked here in Puerto Alegre at a high school here, Roberto took me to a high school to talk to the kids and I asked them, where does food come from? What do you think they said? The supermarket. The supermarket. Because we don't know how to grow food. So how do we get the food? How do we hunt? Anybody know how to make clothes? There's probably somebody here who knows how to make clothes. I don't know. If you drop me naked in the Amazon, I don't know how to make clothes. So how do we do it? How do we hunt? How do we farm? How do we make clothes? How do we make iPhones? How do we make everything around us? What do we have to do in order to do to achieve that? What do we have to do? What's that? Because if you just let go and say, I'll let my DNA do it, then you'll die. You'll die. So what do you have to do? What action do you have to take? What's that? Trade. No. What are you trading? You have to create something before you trade and the other party has to create something before they trade. So what do you have to do in order to create something so you have something to trade? What's that? Produce. How? Think. Because you don't know how to produce. The DNA won't tell you how to produce.  Your DNA won't tell you how to farm. Your DNA won't tell you how to sew a suit. There's no content there. You have to figure it out. And what is figuring out mean?  Nothing is just available out there for us, just as an aside. It's like everybody talks about, you know, economics is the science of scarcity, right? Science is science of scarcity. There's scarce resources out there and we just have to figure out how to divide them up. No. What's really we need to figure out is how to produce the stuff so that it's not scarce. The question of production, question of trade, the question of existence depends on our ability to think, to be creative, to use our reason, to shape the world around us, to fit our needs of survival. None of that comes automatically. If you're determinist, you're dead. If you're real determinist, because if you just sit waiting, it's not going to happen. You have to think, and thinking is not automatic. It's not like everybody thinks. Thinking requires an act of will. It requires us to choose to think, to choose to look, to choose to engage, and at the end of the day to choose to survive, to choose to live. And that's the foundation, that's the essence of what it means to be an egoist, to what it means to be selfish. It's the choice to live your life. It's the choice to live a good life, and therefore it's the choice to think, to use your mind, to use your reason. People who don't do that are not egoistic. They might not be altruistic, they might not care about other people, but they don't care about themselves either. Caring about yourself means thinking, solving problems, the problems that relate to your life and how to make your life the best life that it can be. And that's not easy. It's not easy. To be an egoist, to be selfish is hard work. It means thinking about all the possible values and choosing the ones that you are going to dedicate your energy to achieving, figuring out which ones are good for you and which ones are bad for you. And that's not easy. Who are good people that you want to associate with, be friends with, fall in love with, who are bad people, who you want to stay away from? That's just day-to-day thinking. It's not simple to discover what is good and what is not, what is right and what is wrong, what is worth pursuing and what is not worth pursuing. And that's if you're doing the work necessary, but most people don't do the work because we don't teach them to do the work. We tell them morality is about sacrificing for the people. And how should I live? I don't know, whatever. Morality is not about that. But Ayn Rand's conception of morality, similar to Aristotle's conception of morality, is very different. For Ayn Rand, morality is a science. What science? The science in a sense of a good life. The science of how we should live if we are to attain happiness, if we are to flourish, if we are to be successful at life, here are the principles, here are the guidelines. Because we're not programmed. We don't know automatically how to live. We don't even know how to survive at the most basic level. Never mind how to live a good life in an environment in a society like we live in today. All this requires work. All this requires thinking. Egoism, selfishness requires work. It requires thinking. It requires figuring stuff out. And the consequence of that figuring stuff out is all the values we have today. Everything we have around us is a product of somebody's thinking. So if you had to boil down selfishness and Ayn Rand's virtues to one principle, it's be rational. Facts are facts. Don't put your wishes above the facts. Integrate those facts. Think about the world around you. Use your mind to discover what is true and what is not.   That's the essence of Ayn Rand's morality. That's the essence of being selfish. And very few people unfortunately do it because they haven't been taught. They're still wondering. They're figuring out what they should do. And they get conflicting information. They get the opposite information about what it means to be good. And secondly it requires effort. It requires choosing to think.  Now thinking. Thinking requires us to deal with facts. To deal with truth. To deal with choice. What's the enemy? What's the enemy of thinking? What makes thinking impossible? What's the enemy of thinking? What's that? Force. If I put a gun to your head, you can't think. You follow orders. There are no options. There are no choices. There's no fact. There's no truth or lies. There's just doing what will allow me to stay alive which is follow orders. Force, coercion, authority. Imagine an authority that says this is the truth. It doesn't matter what you think. This is the truth. How do we know it's the truth? Because we say so. Because it's written in a book. Because it was revealed to us by some way. And the truth must be followed. And if you don't follow the truth, we use coercion against you. Authority that declares to the world this is right, this is wrong, independent of your thinking, independent of your conclusions, independent of your values, independent of your mind makes thinking irrelevant. If I have to abide by the book, then it doesn't matter what I think. It doesn't matter what you think. It doesn't matter what the facts are. It doesn't matter what reality is. It just matters what the authority tells me the truth is. That's anti-thinking, anti-reason and therefore anti-life. So, coercion, force, authority that we have no choice about are all anti-life, anti-egoism, anti- your life as an individual. And the fact is that when we get into society, when we get into groups, when we get together, there are always going to be some people, some people call them politicians, call them other kinds of leaders who want to impose their will on us, call them criminals. They're the crooks, they're the mafia. And there's people who want to tell me what to do and how to live and what values to pursue. And don't give me any choice. They take a gun and they put it to my head, whether it's a real gun or whether it's a figurative gun, that's anti-life. And that's what needs to be eliminated from society. So, for Iron Rand, there's a principle that describes the kind, how we should treat one another in a social environment. There's a principle, a concept that captures this idea that you cannot use force against another human being. Whether it's a majority can't use force against a minority. Well, what's the smallest minority? Individuals. The only real minority is the individual. Can't use force against the individual. There's a concept that captures that. That in a social setting, in a political setting, you cannot use force against individual. What's that concept? It's the concept of rights. Rights, individual rights, is the idea that you, it's a moral idea. It's an idea that says your life is yours. Your moral responsibility is to live your life based on your judgment. And therefore, in a social setting, we cannot use force against one another.  In pursuit of the values, your reason determines, are good for you.  None of my business, none of anybody's business. So rights are this idea that in a social setting, we cannot use coercion against one another. No matter what the noble cause that we might have. Oh, this is good for you. This is going to make you a better person if I put a gun to your head. Or if you follow my regulations. Or if I just take some of your money and give it to somebody else, it'll make you a better person. No. Never. No matter the cause, coercion, force are anti-life because they anti-reason because, and that's anti-human choice, anti-human life. That's the idea of individual rights. An idea that Rand has is that the only job of government, the only job of government is to protect those rights. It's to eliminate coercion from society. It's to monopolize the use of force and only use it in retaliation, only use it for self-defense, which is the only appropriate use of force. You might have heard from libertarians this idea of a non-aggression principle. Well, this is the non-aggression principle in a sense. But this is the philosophical cause of this non-aggression principle. It's not a principle that, you know, there's this assumption everybody gets it, force is bad. No. 99% of people think force is good. If it's for a good cause, if it's for my cause, and all of our political system is built on force is good. We tax people to redistribute wealth because redistribution of wealth is good. And we're willing to use force against you because that person over there needs the money and it's your moral responsibility to help him and you're not. So I'm just making you a better person by stealing your money and giving it to him. I'm helping you be moral and I'm helping you have some money. Win-win, right? Or lose-lose, as the case may be. What I'm trying to say is it's never right, no matter how good the cause might be and the cause here is not a good cause. So force is wrong because it cripples the mind. Force is wrong because it cripples your choices. It takes choices away from you. And what we want is to create a political system. What we want is to create a social system in which we have no force. We don't deal with one another by force. How do we deal with one another? Going back to the answer to the first question I asked, through trade, through voluntary trade, voluntary interaction. You want my money? What do you got to offer? How are we going to trade? Materially, spiritually. But it's about trade. It's about win-win. And it's, again, not just in a material realm. It's in every realm. In friendship, you're trading.  Imagine a friendship in which one party gives and the other party is passive or undercuts. How long does that friendship last? Very little time. Friendship is about mutual respect. Mutual values. Sharing and trading those values. Otherwise it doesn't last. And most marriages don't last because, most marriages that don't last, don't last because. It's not win-win. It turns into win-lose. It's not a trade relationship anymore. It's a sacrificial relationship. And one party wants out, or both parties want out. We know this from our personal relationships. How often that happens. So I end up saying when we deal with other people, both in the material realm and in the spiritual realm, we should be traders always seeking to better our own life through interaction that betters the other party's life as well. We're creating win-win relationships. That's how we should behave in a social setting. Now, how do we formalize that? How do we formalize that in a state, in a country? Well, we formalize that through a government. A government that follows certain principles. And the principle, the fundamental principle is that government is limited to only doing one thing. Protecting us. So a government that protects individual rights. And what do we call that system? What do we call the system of government that protects individual rights and does nothing else? A government that does not intervene in the economy, that does not redistribute wealth, that does not regulate businessmen, that leaves people alone to be free. To be free to pursue their own rational values based on their own judgment, based on their own choices. And as long as they're not violating each other's rights, leaves them free, alone. What do we call that? What's the name of that kind of system? Capitalism. That's capitalism. Capitalism is not the system of competition. It's not the system of markets. Those are all consequences. But capitalism is the system that respects individual freedom, respects it so much that it only grants the government the ability to protect that freedom and nothing else. It's a system of individual rights. It's a system where the government protects individual rights and where one of those rights, the right to property, where property is all privately owned because only private individuals can own property. And of course, property is necessary for survival. That's why it's so important. We can't survive unless we can benefit from the things that we produce. Capitalism is fundamentally the system of freedom, the freedom of the mind, the freedom of the individual. To choose his values, to pursue those values for the purpose of what? Happiness, individual happiness. So capitalism is this ideal which we can make real. I have no doubt about the fact that we can make real. In which a society is created in which violence, force, coercion, authority are outlawed. And in which each individual is then responsible and free to pursue their own life in pursuit of their own happiness. Now to me, that's a beautiful message. Capitalism is about happiness. Capitalism is about the pursuit of values. Capitalism is about freedom. All the economic stuff is all true, but it's secondary. That's the essence. That's what it's about. That's worth, you know, really fighting for. And it should be a message that we can, we can convince people about. And every attack on capitalism is an attack at the end of the day based on altruism. It has to be. Because it's obvious that capitalism is what's good for the individual. It's obvious that capitalism is what's good for thinking, productive individuals. So the only way they can undercut capitalism, the only way they can convince us to abandon capitalism is by convincing us of the morality of altruism. Because the fact is that if altruism is true, then what about the poor? There's always going to be somebody who's poor. Their need is a claim against me. Their need is a moral claim against you. How can we allow a society to have all this immorality going on? Where some people have and other people don't have. The whole discussion of inequality in the world today. I mean my response to inequality is always in a free market. Who cares? What's it got to do with anything? But if you're an altruist, the fact that some people have less than others is an offense. It's bad. And therefore, it's okay to take from some and give to others. Altruism also tells us that being selfish is what? Being self-interested, being an egoist is what? What do egoistic people do? What do selfish people do? According to the altruists. Because they don't think of... I think of egoism as thinking. I think of egoism and self-interest as thinking for yourself, pursuing your own values and being a trader. But that's not how the altruist thinks of egoism. How does the altruist think of egoism? You do what? Yeah, you exploit. You do whatever it takes.  You exploit people. What does business do? Is business altruistic or self-interested? Just almost every business. Altruistic or self-interested? Obviously, everybody knows that. It's self-interested. But the altruist convinces us that self-interest is lying, cheating, stealing. And business is self-interest. So business must be about lying, cheating, stealing. Now, if business is really about lying, cheating, stealing, what must we do to business? Well, we could destroy it, but we like the stuff that they produce. So we don't want to completely destroy it because we like the taxes. We like the stuff. So we can't completely destroy it. But if you knew there was a group of people that you had to interact with, but they generally were tempted by lying, stealing, and cheating, what would you do with them? Regulate them. You would want to control them. You would want to look over the shoulder. You would want to check their numbers. You would want to tell them what they can and cannot do. You would limit them. You would constrain them. That's exactly what we do to business. And it's not because businessmen are bad, objectively. It's not because there's a history of food companies poisoning our food, but we think, oh, businessmen, they're self-interested. If we leave them alone, they might poison the food, so we better watch them so they don't. Because we really believe altruism teaches us that the way to make money is to kill our customers, right?  But we treat businessmen that way. The whole regulatory regime that we have is based on altruism. It's based on the idea that self-interest always leads to bad behavior, to destructive behavior. And therefore we must control. The only way to get rid of regulations, I mean really get rid of regulations, not play at the edges, but really get rid of them, because we don't need them. The market is a much better mechanism to guarantee that our food is safe, much better mechanism to guarantee that buildings are safe, much better mechanism to guarantee that everything we have is of high quality than the government ever can do. But if we got rid of those regulations, the only way to get rid of those regulations is to say being selfish is not about length-cheating and stealing. It's about pursuing values. It's about trade. It's about win-win relationships. If people understood that, then they'd say, well, of course we don't need regulations. We don't need to watch over businessmen. They're not evil people. But right now, the assumption, the implicit assumption, when we talk about businesses, as soon as we let them free, as soon as we let them lose, as soon as we give them a little bit of freedom, they'll cut corners, they'll take stuff away, they'll distort. So this moral question is not a theoretical question. It doesn't just apply to the individual's life and individual choices. Although that, I think, is the most important application to it. The most important question about ethics is how to apply it to your life. But it has massive social consequences. If you believe in altruism, you cannot, at the end of the day, consistently be a capitalist. And they're not. That's where they compromise. They give in a little bit. They, consistency requires that you actually believe that morality is a guide to a self-interested life. To a good life. And that being self-interested is not being a lying, cheating, stealing, thieving. It's about thinking and trading and producing. So capitalism is a system of individual rights. It's a system of individual freedom. And it's a system in which we separate government from economics. So one last issue that comes up when we talk about inequality and comes up when we talk about capitalism. Everybody says, yeah, but businessmen, they manipulate the government. Certainly in Brazil they do. Government and business are going to be in bed together. And they're going to dominate everything. And they get, the businessmen are going to use force that the government has in order to control all of us. Right? What do they call that? What do we call that? Corruption, cronyism. But think about it. Why do businessmen lobby government? Why do businessmen get involved in cronyism? And I never say crony capitalism, please. Never, just one little change if you can make in the way you talk. Never talk about crony capitalism. Cronyism is a feature of statism. Cronyism is a feature of socialism. The more socialism you have, the more cronyism you have. Why? Because the more power you grant the state over businessmen, the more they're going to lobby, the more they're going to try to influence, the more they're incentivized to actually gain political power. But if you make politicians impotent, impotent politically, not impotent, impotent, right? I know there's some politicians here. I didn't want to imply that. If you make the government only do what it's supposed to do, which is protect individual rights, then what am I going to lobby them for? They can't give me any favors. They can't give me any goodies. They can't give me protection from competition because they don't have the power. So the only way to get rid of cronyism is to end government power over business. And the only way to do that is to separate completely and thoroughly state from economics. There should be no state economic policy. None. No economic policy. No finance minister. No economics minister. No Treasury minister. None of their business. Economics should be determined basically by our individual decisions and the trade that we do among ourselves, free of any intervention, free of regulation, free of redistribution of wealth, free of the state centrally planning our activities. It's about freedom. And that means it's about the pursuit of happiness. And this is what it's going to require for us to be free to pursue our lives, free to pursue our happiness, free to live wholly as human beings, free to live up to our potential as human beings. We must be free, free of coercion, free of force, free of authority. And that's why we must fight for capitalism, the only system that gives us the freedom to achieve our happiness. Thank you all. All right, we got plenty of time for questions. We have 25 minutes for questions. Those who are watching us online can also send questions through the comments on the site. The ones that are watching us online can send messages through the link, please. You can ask in English or Portuguese. Thank you for the presentation. I'm going to become inconvenient of the questions, I think, at the end of the week. But I understand, for all this matter, that if the person believes in their ability, in their ability to judge, in their ability to be productive, in their choices, therefore, they have the code of life, right? And the code of anti-life, which is what we are talking about here, would then be a lack of self-confidence in themselves, of self-esteem, of not believing that I am capable of being the best vector, not a vector, but the best president of my life, that I am capable of doing this. So it would be a lack, this code of life would be a lack of self-confidence, self-confidence, that is, I allowed others to choose for me what I actually know would be the best for me. This would be a question. One at a time. You can ask the second question in a minute. Okay. But I can only remember one question at a time. Okay. So I'm not against two questions. You can stay there. You can ask after I answer. So I'll take the question as, is self-esteem required in order to be, in order to be a moral person? And no, in this sense, I think self-esteem is something we must seek.  That is, if one acts appropriately, one gains self-esteem. A lot of us, when we're young or when we first start out, don't have the kind of self-confidence or self-esteem, but we go out there and make choices. We go out there and achieve things. And as you achieve, you gain that self-esteem and you gain that confidence. And self-esteem is deeper than just confidence. Self-esteem is the sense that I belong in this earth. You know, I can do okay here. This is my world. Now, a lot of, particularly in the modern time, because of our educational system, a lot of people don't have self-esteem because we're not, we're trained on the opposite. We're trained that it doesn't require effort to get a ribbon or to get a trophy. You know what ribbons are? You know, ribbons for achievement, but then everybody gets a ribbon so there's no achievement. And that lower self-esteem. If you tell your kid you're the best thing in the world, even when they're bad, you're not giving them self-esteem. You're destroying self-esteem. Self-esteem is a consequence of achieving values, of achieving life-affirming values. So a lot of people don't have self-esteem. But one of what I read, one of the cardinal values that I read has in addition to reason, in addition to thinking is self-esteem. It should be what we seek. And the way to seek it is to use our mind to achieve life-affirming values, to challenge ourselves, to push ourselves, so that in a sense we get confirmation that yes, we do belong in this earth. Yes, we can survive. Yes, we can succeed. Yes, we can have that ability.  Life's not like that. They're no heroes in real life, we tell our kids. Oh, they are heroes. And they should aspire to be heroes. That's how you gain, again, the self-esteem. They should be heroes within their own life. So I think self-esteem is something you build, something you create, something you pursue. And it's attainable, it's accessible to anybody who chooses to think and use their mind and guide themselves towards their own values and set themselves real challenges. Thank you. The second question. Thinking about it, about self-confidence. And actually, I have a lot of questions about how people don't understand this philosophy, and I've tried to find in several literatures, for example, understanding the anti-capitalist mentality of von Mises. I've tried to read Karl Marx to try to understand the origin of evil, because this spread in such a way, it looks like a virus. And the second question is actually very simple. If you think it would be a way to call attention to the world with regard to this subject, create a day of the Revolta de Atas or a day that companies do their revolt to call attention to the day of independence, the day of everything. If that would be a way to call attention to a society, for example, like the Brazilian one, with an exceptional relationship. Thank you. Don't believe in Atlas Shrug. Or think Atlas Shrug is nice, but they don't buy the philosophy, they don't completely engage and embrace the philosophy. But yeah, generally I'm all for anything that brings attention, positive attention to these ideas and get people curious and maybe to read them. But the more the deeper question you're asking is why don't people embrace this? And it can't be just that not enough have heard of it. That's a problem. We need more people to hear of it. But a lot of people have heard of these ideas, a lot of people read the books, a lot of people see Venezuela and see what socialism results in and they see, I don't know, Chile in comparison. And they're still socialist. So there has to be something deeper, something more vicious going on that is preventing people from accepting these ideas or even engaging with them. How many of you know people who say, I don't want to read that capitalist, selfish person, I don't even want to read it? Because it's scary. It's against everything we believe in. And that's the fundamental. The fundamental is that the idea of freedom, the idea of liberty, the idea of capitalism, the idea of individualism, these are hard ideas in the context of a society that for 2,000 years are being taught about the virtue of sacrifice and the deeper the sacrifice, the more painful the sacrifice, the more depressing the sacrifice, the more blood involved in the sacrifice, the better, the better. And this has incongruated us since we're little kids. You're supposed to live for others. Now nobody wants to do that. Nobody does that, but that's beautiful. That's perfect for the authoritarians. Because what happens when you do stuff that's inconsistent with your moral belief? What is the emotion evoked by that? What's the emotion you get when you live one life but the moral ideal is another life? Guilt, guilt, Catholics and Jews know this, right? Particularly Jewish mothers and Catholic mothers. Guilt. And guilt is what? It's an amazing mechanism to control people. Guilt is an amazing mechanism to get people to do what you want.  They don't want you to be fully altruistic because they want you to feel the guilt and then they can control what you do. But that guilt only exists because we buy into it. You know, everybody's concerned about the poor, about people who can't. I mean, all the questions. Any Q&A you ever do, people say, well, what about these poor and what about people who can't take care of themselves and what about this and what about that? Always what about those people over there who need something? Who is the biggest beneficiary in all of human history of those people? No, politicians have done nothing for those people. Who's actually done something for those people? For all of us. Who are the biggest beneficiaries for all of mankind? Who? Businessmen. Businessmen. Who brings people out of poverty? Politicians? Just look around Brazil. Politicians are trying to bring people out of poverty for what? Since the beginning of Brazil. How many people have come out of poverty because of political, because of politics? Poverty is bigger because of politics. Politics increases poverty and they love it because it's more people to control. It's more people to guilt. More people to tax. They're not interested in poverty. Altruism is not interested in poverty. Who did more? Who did more to bring people out of poverty? Who did more to benefit mankind? Bill Gates or Mother Teresa. I mean, if you have to think about it, then you're not thinking right. Because it's not even close. Bill Gates by building Microsoft. How many people in the world did he affect? Positively. Billions? Billions? How do we know it's positive? Because people were willing to give up $100 to get something for Bill Gates, which meant what they got from Bill Gates was worth more than $100 to them, which means their life improved by the difference between the value of this thing and $100 by that amount. And he did that over and over and over again, hundreds of millions of times with billions of people, and all of their lives got better. Even people who never traded with Microsoft, I don't know, some tribe in the middle of the Amazon that gets aid. How does that aid get there? Well, by use of modern logistics, which require computers, which require Microsoft, even they benefit from it. Every human being on this planet almost has benefited from Microsoft. How much moral credit does Bill Gates get for being the greatest beneficiary mankind has seen in the latter part of the 20th century? Zero. Negative. Why? Because he made money. He made money doing it. He benefited himself. He traded. He didn't sacrifice. What would we have to do to make Bill Gates a saint? Some of you are Catholic. What would it take to make Bill Gates a saint? Bill Gates Foundation. What's that? Bill Gates Foundation. That's a beginning, not enough, a beginning. So first, Bill Gates has to leave Microsoft. God forbid you make money. God forbid you build a company. God forbid you create stuff.  He's got to leave Microsoft and start a foundation. Not create, well, give it away. That's good. Now he's a good guy. We love Bill Gates now because he's giving his money away. That's good. How many people's lives will he change? A few thousand, maybe tens of thousands, not billions. No, he closed the billions. But now he's good. Not a saint. Why is he not a saint? He's rich, still lives in a big house, still drives around in a nice car, flies private jet. He can't be a saint if you're rich. So what would it take for Bill Gates to be a saint? He'd have to give all the way, move into a tent, and really he needs to bleed for us. He needs to bleed a little bit. You go to museums, see pictures, paintings of saints on the wall. Ever seen one where the saint is smiling? Happy? Having a good time? No. I mean, it's funny, but it's really sad. Because what it means is our moral code requires suffering to be the best, to be an ideal, to be a saint. In my world, Bill Gates is a saint for building Microsoft, for being happy, for being a successful human being, living life well. That's a saint. That's moral. That's justice.   And that requires this, requires reason, choice, action, requires living. And that's about prospering, it's about succeeding, it's about being happy, it's about great life.  So a whole moral view shapes why we cannot succeed. People don't, you know, I debate socialists all the time, right? And they say, it's a moral ideal, socialism. Because yeah, it's about sacrifice and it's about sharing and it's about not caring about yourself but caring about other people. Socialism is altruism, in politics. And they say, okay, so it's failed every time we've tried it, but it's an ideal, so we have to keep trying. We'll only stop trying when it stops being an ideal. And that's right.  But nobody cares if they die because hey, life's about sacrifice. So we sacrificed 100 million people to experiment with communism. What's the big deal? What did Lenin say? You have to break a few eggs to make an omelet. 100 million eggs in this case. So that's why we need a challenge. We need a new ideal. An ideal of reason, individualism, happiness, success. And if that's the ideal, then obviously socialism fails. Nobody's tempted by socialism if they want to be happy. Then we will win. But that's the ideal, and that's why it's so hard. Because it's about ethics. And you're fighting against 2000 years of Christianity. You're fighting against most secular philosophers. You're fighting against a whole 2000-year-old tradition of altruism as noble and good and virtuous. And it's not. It's evil. All right. Do we have time for more? Yes. Well, I mean, what you have to do is teach people the value of their own life. And I don't think that's particularly complex, particularly for the average person. We have to advocate.  And then we need to find a variety of different ways to communicate with people these ideas. And there's no one gimmick. There's no one thing. Here's a slogan, and if you give the slogan, it'll just flip somebody's mind. It doesn't work like that. It's about examples. It's about arguments. It's about discussions. It's about debates. It's about speaking, speaking, speaking, speaking. And first you have to have the intellectuals who develop these ideas. Then you have to have people who can then articulate those ideas in all kinds of ways. We're not going to win until we have artists presenting art that presents this view. We're not going to win until teachers are free to present these kind of views in schools and in universities. We're not going to win until we have radio talk show hosts who talk about these ideas. We're not going to win until these ideas are not broadcast into the culture. Through all the mechanisms the culture has to broadcast these ideas. But to do that, you first have to have a cadre of individuals who really deeply understand them. So that's how you convince. I don't have a sentence to give. But I think the thing most appealing about this set of ideas is your life is yours. Your moral purpose in life is your happiness. Here's some principles that if you understand them properly, if you figure them out, will lead to that happiness. And then everything else will fall into place. Everything else will fall into place. So if I want my happiness, if anybody wants to be happy and understands the principles that lead to happiness and understands that you cannot be happy unless you make choices, rational choices about your life, then you don't want Mother Government sitting on your shoulder telling you, do that, don't do that, eat this, don't eat that. You want to be free because you believe in your own capacity to make choices and your happiness is the goal and only you can figure out what's good for you on the concrete level. So you have to do it. So freedom will be a consequence of people respecting their own life and their own mind. Not the other way around. We will get capitalism, true capitalism, when people want to live free, when people want to pursue their happiness, when people have a respect for their own reason, for their own mind. She's been waiting. So the two of you and we'll do that. Excuse me for the monopole of the questions. I think that you and I are monopolizing the microphone. First of all, congratulations for the lecture. I think it summarized very well the feeling that we all have in relation to capitalism because it is a system much superior to all the others, or more utopian, let's say. I totally agree with you when you say that the only role of the State should be to guarantee the fundamental right of life, the freedoms of the individual. I think that today the country that we have the most as a gabarito, let's say, is the United States, which is the biggest symbol of freedom and capitalism in the western world. For us, we have our personal defense, both of external forces, other states, and even homicides and thieves inside here. So both the security of our country and our own individual depend on armed forces, military, police, anyway, to apply this use of coercive force that the State should have. This requires a certain spending, a public spending. And at the same time, so that we can say what is the right of whom, in my conception we have to have a system, a fair system of judgment, of laws, so that people can respect the individuality of the law. Until where is my limit, until where is your limit, in what we disagree with, maybe someone has to intervene. My question is, how to do this without the financing, where does money come from to have a very powerful military force, for example, in the United States, and have an internal security, also, in the police, and, in addition, guarantee a fair system, ethical and moral, of fair judgment for the entire population, to be able to mediate the interests of the people. Where does this financing come from? And if you believe, if it is not an utopia, think only voluntarily we would be able to raise the money for all of this. Thank you. To imagine what it's like to live in a free country, really free country, where the government does so little. You know, first let's concretize what it means, right? I mean, I don't know what percentage of the Brazilian economy, or percentage of GDP the government spends in Brazil. But you don't need a military, you don't have a police, as far as I can tell, because crime is rampant all over the place, and your justice system is amazingly corrupt, and yet they manage to spend huge amounts of money. But if we go back to the closest maybe we've ever been to capitalism today, deal with the United States of America and the latter part of the 19th century, the United States government never spent more than 3.5% of GDP. 3.5% of GDP. Today it spends 20 to 21. So you could cut 80% of the American federal budget and still have a military, a pretty decent police force, and a reasonably good court system, right, in America. 80% would be gone. Imagine we all got an 80% tax cut, and they eliminated all the debt, you know, that they carry. How amazing the economy would be, how much growth there would be, how much wealth would be created, how much we'd all be better off, and how much fear we would feel. And then imagine once you get there you say, okay, we don't believe in coercion, so now we have to get rid of the last piece of taxes. How are we going to fund the government? So first, let's get there. And then we can have the debate on how to fund it. That would be pretty cool. Ayn Rand wrote an essay in her book, Capitalism Not Known Ideal. I don't think it's in Portuguese yet, but I think it's one of the books that are going to be translated soon into Portuguese, so I will encourage everybody to read it when it's out in Portuguese. But in Capitalism Not Known Ideal she has an essay exactly on this question. And she says first, it's going to be a long time before we get there. There's a lot to cut before we even get to that point. And there's a lot of understanding that we all have to have about the role of government before we can cut. There's a lot of education, a lot of debate, a lot of discussion before we ever get there. And then the question is how do we fund a little bit of funds that are necessary to defend the borders, to defend internally, and to have a court system. And she gave two examples of what you can do. One would be, you know, fee for services. Certain services that the government provides could be provided for fee. For example, if we had a contract between us, a legitimate contract, we could just have arbitration and mediation, right, private. But if we wanted to be enforced by the courts, we would have to pay a fee to the courts in advance when we signed the contract so that the courts would have supervision over this particular contract. Not everybody would do it, but enough, I believe, would do it and think of big contracts between big companies that would fund the court system quite easily just through this fee. But what about the rest? There's a whole bunch of more money we'd need. And here's where I think it's hard if you're a Latin American, or if you're Israeli, or if you're European to get this because of the kind of world we live on. But I believe people would write checks voluntarily to the government. As an American, it's easy to imagine that. Because when we get to the point where we're free in that way, we'll be rich, much richer than we are today. But we'll also have that self-esteem that we talked about before. We'll have that confidence. My life is mine. We'll believe this. Otherwise, we're not going to get there. My life is mine to live as I see fit. And I want to deal with other human beings as a trader, not as a leech, not as a free rider, if you know economics, but as a trader. And if somebody's providing me security services, if somebody is policing me the border from enemies, if somebody is defending me from fraud and from murderers, I want to pay for that. I don't want to be a leech. I don't want to be a free rider. Now, well, 100% of the people believe that. No. But who cares? My belief, strong belief, is that the problem is going to be that the government will have too much money, which is not good. So there'd have to be some kind of constitutional thing where they have to return the money, because they get so much. Because we would be so generous. Imagine living in real freedom, real freedom, where you make all the choices in your life and nobody can curse you, nobody can force you. And that the police are not chasing down, you know, so-called criminals who haven't hurt anybody, where they're no victims, but that the state has decided it's a crime. Where they're really, you know, drugs right now is a good example. Well, what do we have drug laws? Somebody's decided these drugs are bad for you. And I think they're bad for you. But it's none of the business of the state if I want to commit suicide. And once they start regulating these drugs, then they're going to start regulating the good drugs too. Like medicines, which they regulate heavily. You have to deregulate all of that. And if now the police, instead of chasing after people who want to inject heroin into their arms, which are not doing me any harm, they're doing themselves harm, and instead of actually protecting me, I'm happy to write my local policeman a check. Because I'm getting a value for it. So I know that sounds utopian, and the more cynical a culture is, the more utopian that sounds, and Brazil is a cynical culture. I come from Israel as a very cynical culture. And we're cynical because our government's corrupt. It involved in all of our lives. It does all this stuff. And we don't believe people are generous. We constantly are trying to cheat and trying to manipulate, and that's our experience. But that's not life under freedom. It's not life under freedom. So I have no, no hesitation would tell you that there'll be more than enough money, more than enough money from voluntary revenue generation to fund a government like that. Okay, last question. No, that's it. All right, thanks everybody.


We made it in here. We are here at Lake Erie College of Asteopathic Medicine Field, Osteopathic Medicine Field. It's where the pirates play. Lecom. Lecom for short. Do we know what that meant? I was looking it up when we started the video. We started. We're going to say bone medicine. We're going to say bone medicine. A lot of bone doctors here. A lot of bone doctors. And we're going to try some food. Give away some rosy ulcer. Maybe some Pirates Baseball. Should be able to get on the field for batting practice. They hooked it up. Maybe Pirates Baseball. No, maybe. Definitely Pirates Baseball. We don't know what brand of baseball they're going to play. They're going to attempt to play Pirates Baseball. We're going to find out. Yeah. Road to the championship. Coaster, Pittsburgh. Yep. Pretty much to ourselves. Pirates are taking BP. You guys catch one bare hand. I'll be very impressed. Yeah. What if I go with hat? Hat works. Just swing and a miss. Did you get that? I don't want to be mean, but Josh Bell just made more outs and hits and BP. Brutal. Two rounds. I had to swing and a miss. Brutal, dude. Bell's happened an off day. I mean, that round was, he fouled ball, fouled ball, fouled ball, I'm done. That was terrible. That was so bad. Let's go. Let's go. Background. We're doing it for the kids. Yeah. I'm a kid. I'm 23. There you go, man. How you doing? Pretty good. Just getting back in the swing and playing every day. Nice. Nice. Nice. Nice. Nice. Nice. Nice. Nice. Nice. Nice. Nice. Nice. Nice. Nice. Nice. Nice. Nice. I think it's good. Get some swings today. I'm in there today, yeah. Excel? Yeah, Excel, yeah. I remember your first time running. That video you guys did, yeah, everyone was sending me that. That was hilarious. That was awesome. That was awesome. We've got a lot to do. There was something that they do. Yeah, large will do. Large will do. Perfect. Thank you. You guys want to play? We might. Good wind up. For a hop-up, I'm just going to pitch it. That's going to get a foreman. I'm going to give the outfield a throw now. All right. I'll tell you what. That's not good for you. That feels good. Get in there. I'm going to hurt myself. Oh, no. What did I even register? I feel like I need to state this. I'm registered at 88 on the mound. That was kind of embarrassing. I'm going to get one throw out. I got more in the tank. I got more in the tank, okay? I'm just going to field it, throw them out at home. 98 without a doubt. It's unfortunate for that fly. Yeah. He got trapped. He got caught up. You know what?  Dead on the ground. All right.  Lecom. I think they're literally doing a between and sing along. So I don't know if we want this or don't want this. We're getting the mics. We'll pick us up. Nice. All right. We're here at Lecom Stadium. Pirates play. It's windy. It's going to rain soon.  That was the storm's coming, Breeze. Underneath the Bradenton Marauders. We're joined by Trevor Plouffe, who wasn't going to participate, but he's also very hungry and likes the way the tacos look. So you want to talk about that? Yeah. Because I asked her what was on the taco. She said cilantro and cheese. That's not an authentic street taco, so I was off. But then when she brought it, that looks good. Yeah. They put it on the grill fresh. Let's all go with the pork first. I need some more sauce. Neat. It's very dry. It's a little dry. Beer. Beer. It's got what you need, but it needs sauce. Get some of the hot sauce over there. Tell her you're bringing it right back. Jake doesn't like hot sauce or bugs or Tuesdays. I'm not true. Tuesdays is true. You don't like bugs? I love bugs. I don't like ladybugs. I mean bug spray. You don't like bugs. I don't like mosquitoes. Yeah. You said earlier on the trip you don't like bugs. I was just repeating what you said to me. She gave you the whole thing. Wow. Daddy bottle. Get that out of here. Jake doesn't like that stuff. Okay. Thank you, Trevor. Thank you, Trevor. He is our RV driver and our hot sauce provider. Continue eating. That's good. All right. Trevor. Trevor. It's much better with the hot sauce. He's going for the hot sauce bite. Jimmy approves of it with the hot sauce. Trevor's going in. He's leaning. Little head turned. Little frustration. Frank's red hot sauce. I thought it was chalula. There is a chalula. I know. But I said it's the same thing. And that one was like more full. Looked fresher. So I grabbed that one. Now I have a buffalo. Yeah. Pork. Taught. I mean it just doesn't work. There was chalula sauce. So that was user error. Not on the Lee Come Park Street Taco vendor. It's a five out of 10. It's there. I love the cheese. Is it Parmesan cheese? It seems like Parmesan, but it's Cotija. Cotija. But that's what threw me off. Originally it was the cheese on it. Well, let's try the beef one real quick. It just needs a little lube. A little onion would go a long way. The Frank's red hot sauce is weird. Now it feels like we got high and just put all of what we could found into a tortilla. I like the pork better. This one tastes like a Taco Bell taco. This review is all over the place. Yeah, this guy got popcorn. No consensus. Try them at your own pace. I had the pork at a six four. The Taco Bell connection has me like really out now. I've got this at a four four. I'm not doing anything. I will say this. Because we don't just need to bash this. It was my fault for bringing in the red hot sauce. That's a big error. So I'll take that one. I think they use Taco Bell seasoning in this. It tastes just like Taco Bell. If I had the right condiment on, I would say these are like a six and a half. Serviceable. I'm sticking with a five. If you don't like lines and you just want to get food, have at it. Thanks. I'm working with our new pitching coach a lot. I'm kind of remapping my mechanics a little bit. So I'm happy I've got some new guys on board. Then he started going deep on me. Which one of those works? They all works. Everything, yeah.  Are you ready? We'll see. I think it works. He was nice. Cold Tucker's a nice guy. I mean that's... I kind of like the whole Cold Tucker said hi to us. Perfect. This morning. Turn it around. Turn it around, he was nice. Or is that a way? That's a way. That's a little bit of a way. So Cold Tucker said hi to us underneath. He was in parentheses. He was nice. The whole month. He was marvelous. My hand just was free-flowing. Just kept coming. Do I get turned into an end? Mr. Nice. He was... Mr. Something. He was... I think you maybe do a cross through it and you point arrow and say I messed up. He was nice. Oops. I wouldn't say it's an A plus. She was... I think all of our... all of our groans. When we saw it, it was pretty good. Hashtag wow. It's his content. It's true. Nothing but facts. So what he gets for not acknowledging the sign. So he made his own choice. Thanks guys. Baseball is fun. Baseball is fun. Street from pirate spring training. A brewery. A food truck. Some games inside. It's kind of perfect. Perfect spot for them. When I say brewery, I get really nervous because I was a speech impediment kid. So I hope I said it good right there. My brain tried to avoid that word at all costs. It's going to rain soon. But I want to go play a lot of the games in here and they're giving us samples of the beer. Which is awesome. I had one. I had one. I won. Now he has to get one die for me.  Back to the RV, right? This clear sky is like 20 minutes ago.


What is going on guys welcome back to the channel critical overload here's about Halloween is this video here again today? More specifically the trailer since it seems like it is very imminent based off of this image You see here on your screen now This is coming from one of the classification sites from Canada as it pertains to trailers We know a lot of us were using this when the screen trailers were coming out and also using it for the Halloween kills trailers And I'll leave a link to it in the description But it says here that the runtime for the upcoming trailer is going to be one minute and 16 seconds now It was also classified yesterday on July 8th So again now the assumption is that we are very close the release is imminent and we'll get to see What can only be the footage from Cinemacon not going to reasons why in a minute? And this also then tells me that most likely by the end of the month when we all get go out of the way to go See nope in theaters You'll get to see the footage on the big screen associated with attached with nope during its release doesn't mean They'll wait till week of release to show this footage But again, that's the chances of it being attached to that movies release are now higher than ever with this recent update They came out this morning Courtesy of that website again I'll leave a link to it in the description now the reasons why I think the expectation going into this should be that You're just gonna be seeing what's been described from Cinemacon is the length of the trailer a minute and 16 seconds most likely what you're gonna get is The recap of the events from the 78 movie recap of the events from 2018 recap of events from halloween kills Kind of just mesh together in this brief recap of everything We've already dealt with in this timeline might have a voiceover or something like that Obviously, you'll have some text coming up on the screen hyping up the end of this trilogy hyping up the end and conclusion of David Gordon greens iteration of Halloween and Then you're gonna jump to The present time with Laurie hiding for Michael Myers in a closet which this closet most likely will end up being that kitchen She'll be trying to keep quiet in said closet Michael will then be shown I guess through a crack or something where she's looking at him Wandering around the kitchen obviously hunting for Laurie Laurie will jump out shocking Michael They start brawling Laurie gets thrown into a cabinet and then there's all chaos ensues in that kitchen Ultimately leading to the final shot in the trailer which will be her Standing over Michael Myers ready to stab him and then it'll cut to black That's most likely exactly how the teaser is gonna go down How do I have these details again? These are details from Cinemacon that I'm just kind of putting together in order of events of how I see this trailer Going down based off of the details that came out from Cinemacon I mean honestly the Jurassic World footage that was shown is Cinemacon that description came out and then the trailer came out And it was exactly the footage from Cinemacon the same stuff for note the note footage descriptions were Put online Then we recently just got the trailer for that like almost a month or two after and it was the exact footage from Cinemacon And now here we are with the same thing for Halloween ends now I'm not saying there isn't a chance that they can't still throw in new footage I'm just saying that the chances of them showing the exact same footage from Cinemacon are very high Given what's happened with the other footage that was shown at Cinemacon and then got released many weeks later associated with other very anticipated projects, so As it stands right now, I know people are gonna be like oh, that's too short Well, that's one argument But then if they would get something like Halloween kills where they showed a lot the argument would have been they showed too much That was too long that was too much now I know the whole movie. So of course from their perspective, that's why I think a lot of them inside the industry Probably have a mentality of let's just do what we think is best and what we think is gonna put butts in seats Come October because you have again that section of the internet and the section of fandoms in general They're never gonna be pleased. That's too long. That's too much shown. That was too short I don't even we didn't even see anything now. I hold in the whole movie So whatever it is this trailer I'm hoping is what was shown at Cinemacon because been what's been described It's good enough that recap and then jumping right into a kitchen brawl and then leaving your audience wondering What else happens in the movie leading up to said kitchen brawl or where in the movie this kitchen brawl even occurs? That is more effective. I would say definitely coming from the old-school approach versus how with most trailers today We're spoiled with so many details that yes a lot of people will Pause the trailer and then say they knew the whole movie because it was in the trailer well, honestly, no one told you to pause the trailer like that and Pinpoint everything in chronological order. No one told you to do that.  You shouldn't know the whole movie off of one little viewing It honestly would require you to pause it rewatch it multiple times piece together and theorize where it's happening at So if they're not showing much footage in this trailer, that is fine Because honestly it reminds me of the screen 3 trailer the screen 3 trailer was mostly just text on a screen with clips of the movie and Voice-over from my memory. I know that's how the good chunk of the maybe that was the teaser trailer I'm thinking of I know there was a good chunk of that trailer where it was it was like text over the screen Recaps of the first two screams and then a reminder that scream 3 is the finale forget the rules And it was like quick cuts quick cuts of a lot of stuff from the movie You didn't have any death scenes or anything like that. I don't think I think maybe Tyson's death scene was in it So if they're taking that approach, that's fine with me. I know that's fine with a lot of other people who think that They show too much in trailers. I Just think that hopefully when this trailer comes out it's gonna be something that satisfies most of you I'm sure you'll get those reactions again that say they didn't show anything so they don't even know what to expect anymore Well, if they show the kitchen scene, you'll at least know to expect a kitchen scene involving a fight between Michael and Lori in the kitchen Chances of them showing us new footage again. There's a chance it is likely But coming off of how the other cinema con footage has been treated I think it's best we just go into this expecting to have The trailer footage shown that cinema con now being released online because that's what happened with Jurassic World And that's what happened with nope. So I see the same thing happening with Halloween ends Honestly when it comes to the movie's marketing, I know some people are like they're not doing a good job marketing the movie They need to do something it's gonna happen The marketing is gonna amp up eventually as far as like what I think about it I do think they could be doing a lot more now They don't have to be doing as much because I think you should save that of course for like August and September Leading into October, but there should be something going on I know a lot of people think it's just a lot of nothing But I guess it depends on how you value certain things that have been coming out All we really have going on right now is just keeping up with reshoot details and other things like that Not really too much. So of them hyping up the movie Jason Blum himself. I think Recently had a tweet where he was talking about how we need to be patient or something like that Because I guess a lot of people are harassing the crew about this trailer The trailers coming it looks like it's coming very soon according to this new outlet or this new detail that came out today Let me know as you guys think about all this down in the comment section below If you haven't already of course, make sure you subscribe turn on post notification You never miss a video in the description. I have links my social media accounts on Facebook Twitter and Instagram You can message me there, of course It limits any movies news or if you'd like me to cover in the future with all that in mind guys I will see you in the next video


Hey everybody, welcome to the Waldoch Way. I'm Jessica. Today's video is going to be a homeschool show and tell. The homeschool show and tell is an open collaboration hosted by Abby from Rooted in Rest and Myself. Our goal with the homeschool show and tell was to bring homeschoolers together from around the world to really be able to show that there's not one right way to homeschool. And we do that by sharing about different topics each and every month. This month's topic is actually going to be a homeschool planning. So we are all going to do a plan with me. So you can click the link in the description box to go to the playlist where all of the homeschoolers are coming together to share how they plan or you'll be able to plan with them or see a little bit of insight into their planning. It's really, really great because you get to see so many different takes on it. And there is more than likely gonna be somebody that's going to resonate with you. So I am going to go ahead and take you through planning a week in our homeschool. Now I want you to keep in mind that I am not like the biggest planner. I am very interest led, child led. We try to kind of fly by the seat of our pants. But with that being said, I have a routine that I tend to do every Sunday night. So that is what I'm going to do is take you through that routine with me. So the first thing that I do is I pull out some of my favorite things for planning. The first of which is my planner. This year I am using the Flamingo planner. I love the colors and just the fun of it. And then it's inside my planner, but for ease of this video, I also have my free checklist by grade. So these are the skills by grade level checklist. I use these to kind of figure out what concepts I want to teach that week. And then I just have some of my favorite pens and highlighters. The pens that are my favorite are the Friction Fine Liner. I really like that they have the paper mate type of tip. However, they're erasable. And then my favorite highlighters are the Mild Liners by Zebra. I like that they are not quite as bright and in your face as most highlighters. They're a little bit more mild, hence the name Mild Liner. So once I have those things out, I just go ahead and open my planner to the week that I like to use. So this is the weekly lesson plan that I like to use. It's very simple. It's exactly what I need it to be. It has the days of the week at the top and then it has four checklist boxes. Now I use these boxes for math, language arts, our unit study, and then anything else. So either extras or maybe to-dos, it just depends on kind of what that week is going to hold for us. So I'm gonna go ahead and grab a pen. I know that this is week three for us this week. I know on Thursday night we have gymnastics. Wednesday this week my mom is actually having knee surgery. So I will be gone for a few days helping her out with that. And up top of my head, that's all I can think of. So I'm just gonna leave that as it is for now.  This is not the easiest way to write, but I'm just trying to kind of give you an example. So we have math, language arts, unit study, and then this week because of the knee surgery I'm going to have a car schooling category mainly because we will be schooling either in the car or at my mom's. So once I have kind of my general layout and I know what the week is going to hold, the next thing I do is I reference our skills checklist to see what skills I want to focus on that week. You can't really see that, here you go. Let me scoot that over. So I reference this page which is the skills checklist and I just see what skills do I wanna work on with her this week. Is it maybe it's mastering math facts or just kind of whatever it is. So I just go through and look at them. So I know that this week I want to work with her on fractions and I will explain why I'm picking fractions in a minute. So for ease of use, I am going to just highlight, identify and compare fractions one half to one 12, add and subtract fractions with like denominators and identify number, mixed number fractions and improper. So those are the three math concepts I'm going to work with her on this week. And then I think for language arts we are gonna continue working with run on and incomplete sentences, using capital letters, using punctuation marks correctly. And then I think we are going to also work on recognizing and identifying common parts of speech. So I think that's gonna be kind of the just of things I'm gonna work on with her this week. For math and language arts at least. So now that I know that those are the concepts that I wanna work on with her, I will then go to our homeschool room and my office and pull things that I think will work well under those topics. So either we have curriculum that I wanna use or we have games or we have books or some sort of hands on resource. But I will just kind of go through and pick things that I think will work well with those concepts. And then we'll just kind of use them throughout the week. Now a unit study is very simple because I'm using our space unit study currently. So I know that this week I want to do the solar system lesson with her and I'm hoping to also get to the sun. And then in addition to those, we have a solar system model kit that Kevin would like to do with her. So what makes this super easy is I write out everything I would like to get done with her and then I just check it off if we do it. If we don't do it, it's no big deal. I can see what I have from this week and it can move on to next week or it makes it really easy for me also to add extra things that maybe we did that I didn't plan on us doing. So I can say, oh, you know what? She did a solar system puzzle. I can just jot that down and make a check mark. It makes it really easy for me to plan and record our week in one place on one piece of paper. It's just super, super simple. It's at a glance, it makes it really easy. And then what I can do is either at the end of the week or the end of the month, whenever I have spare time, I can use this to transfer my details to OneNote, which is what I use for a portfolio. If you want more about that, like if you want to kind of see how I do that, you can check it out in this video. Okay, so I know that that's what we're gonna do for unit study already. For car schooling, I'm going to list a few apps that I would like her to work on. So Puco is a language arts kind of vocabulary app. Extra math will help her with her math facts. And then we will probably also use the night sky app while we're at my mom's. We will listen to our current audio book. And that's all I can think of right now. I'm sure I'll come up with more things as we get closer to it and as I'm actually packing for my mom's. But everything is still kind of up in the air. I don't know whether she's staying home or if Kevin are going with me just yet. So I'm trying to kind of right now just list things that she could do with Kevin or I depending on where she ends up. So this is, I'm trying my best to show you guys what I would plan, but this week is like no other week because we're not normally trying to split the household midweek because of a surgery. All right, so now what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna go ahead and walk and look for resources that I think would work well for the topics that I had talked about for like the run on sentences and the capital letters and punctuation marks. And then what I do after I have all those resources is I will write those down for math and language arts in my planner. Like I said, it makes it really easy because I found when you have a lot of resources, sometimes you forget that you have them. So by me saying, okay, these are the skills that I wanna work on this week. And then going down and looking at my shelves, then I can just jot down, okay, this is what I wanna do for math. This is what I would like to do for language arts. If we do it fantastic, I check it off. If we don't do it, it's not the end of the world, but at least I have written down what would have worked for those topics. Pulled everything that I think I wanna use this week or that I would like to make a note of and I've put it on the table. Now normally I wouldn't physically pull everything and make a mess. I would just go jot down what we have on hand. But for the purposes of this video, I pulled everything so I could physically show you what I pulled. So for language arts, keeping in mind that the skills I wanted to cover are the run-on and incomplete sentences, capital letters, punctuation marks and common parts of speech, I pulled the word fun book.  So we will possibly read through that. And then I also decided to pull the language quickies from Lakeshore Learning. These are the grammar and writing because they have a capitalization and punctuation center in here. These are like little matching games. They have the answer cards. So basically you have all of these little cards that are gonna show different tricky titles and you have to try to see what you need to fix. Either they're correct or incorrect. And then you sort them under the correct and incorrect. So I pulled that for us. I also pulled the complete sentence one. This is a sentence sort.   So I thought those two would work really well for those topics that we're gonna be learning about. And then I pulled a few games. So I have grasping grammar nouns to interjections, breaking news, which is a spelling, punctuation and grammar game. So that just happens to be a plus that we'll be getting in other things as well. And then very silly sentences. This will be a really fun one, but it'll be a great way to talk about whether the sentence is complete, run-on, et cetera. So that's what I pulled for our language arts. For math, I pulled two books, the circumference and the fraction fare. We love these book series. And then if you were a fraction. Now I told you guys, I would tell you why I picked fractions for this week. So Emily, last week, finished reading the Eliminate War book for her upcoming book club. And she absolutely loved it. She immediately asked if she could do a lemonade stand. Well, my first instinct was to say no because we live in the middle of nowhere and nobody's gonna stop. And then the next day, her learner's lab class was an entrepreneurship class and she talked about a lemonade stand there and then they sent free printables. And it was just like this perfect storm, one thing after another. And I thought, okay, you know what? While we're at my mom's, because we'll be there for at least a week, her area is a little more populated. I will let her do a lemonade stand one of the days that we're there instead of it being here in the middle of nowhere. And because I knew that she was gonna do a lemonade stand, Kevin had already decided that he would help her make the lemonade and that we would do a lot of the, or that they would do a lot of that and then he'd bring her over for the day that she was gonna do a lemonade stand. So I know that there's two things that she could really, really learn out of this. And one is money, but I didn't want to drive home the money because I just kind of wanted that to be like the fun part of it. But I thought fractions would be a really fun way to kind of tie the math into that because when they're making it, they can talk about cutting the lemons in half and the different measurements on the cups as they're filling them up and doing measurements. So I thought fractions would just be a really great kind of like reinforcer slash introduction slash, let's use the real life learning to our advantage. So that's why that's the skill I picked for this week. Okay, I also grabbed our fraction cards that go with our power pin. This is very similar to hot dots if you know anything about them and you just press the button. Let's see what fraction is shaded and it will light up. She has the silence right now. Let's see, here we go. It makes noise if you get it right. I just thought those would be a really great thing. Maybe I'll strew them. Maybe those could work for car schooling. I don't know yet, but I pulled those. The game Froggy Fractions, which is a card game. The pizza fraction junior that we have, we don't really have to have the junior, but we already had it. So that's the one we're gonna use. And then the, this is loud, sorry guys, the fraction formula game. We really, really like this game. It's really fun. It's literally these big like beakers and all these little fraction pieces. It's a little loud, but it's a lot of fun. So that's everything that I pulled for Language Arts and Maths. Again, this is gonna be a weird week. So we may get to none of this. We may get to all of it. I have no idea. And that's why I like planning this way because once I've pulled everything, what I do is I just come in here and I just write it down under Math and Language Arts. So for math, I know that I have the fraction fare, so circumference, fraction fare book, the if I were a fraction book, and then I have the power pin, fractions, the pizza fraction game, the froggy fraction game, and then the fraction formula. So that is pretty much, and look, I spelled that wrong, so that wasn't a hurry. Thankfully, these are raised, yay. And so that is pretty much my planning. So now we'll do the same thing for Language Arts. I will just write down all of the resources that I pulled for Language Arts. And that's my planning for the week. It is that simple. If we do any of it, I will check it off. If we do something that I didn't write on here initially, I will just fill it out. Like let's say we write on here the lemonade stand because that is totally, that totally counts, and I spelled that wrong to you guys. I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry. But it's literally that simple. That's how easy my planning is. It's not overkill. It's not complicated. I just make a list of things that I think we might do that I would like to get done with her so I don't forget when we're in the moment. I can easily open my planner and go, oh yeah, I have this game. Let's go ahead and go pull that and play it. Because I find I have like decision fatigue in the moment and I'm like, oh I'm here and when are we gonna play next? What are we gonna do next? So this makes it really easy for me to just open my planner, see the options that I had for us, pick from one of them, do it, and then just check it off when we're done. And there you have it. That is a look at my finished weekly lesson plan. It's very, very simple. It's not over the top. I literally just write down a list of math and language arts resources that I would like to see us get to, what lessons I wanna do or what things I wanna cover with our unit study which this is really easy because I've already done the planning with the space unit study so I can just write down the lessons that I wanna do and it's all already done. And then this week I have a car schooling box or a school on the go because I know that we're gonna be going a lot this week. Now normally that box would just kinda be a flex box. Maybe it's a to-do list, maybe it's car schooling, maybe we're doing something special, maybe I use it to put in extra things that we're gonna be doing, our afternoon activities. I really do use that as a flex box. It just depends on kind of what's going on in our life. If we have a busy week, it's car schooling because I know we're not gonna be around a lot so I'll have a list of things that still kind of cover the same subjects or the same skills but are able for us to do them in the car or I'll even make a list of what is in her car schooling area. If you'd like to know more about car schooling, I will link that up here for you guys too. I have a whole playlist of all of our car schooling stuff. So that is really it. It's super simple. I just look at my checklist. I look at what skills I want her to cover for the week or what skills I want to cover with her. I make a list of all of the resources that we have that incorporate those skills or those topics and that way it's just easy. I can open my planner. I don't have decision fatigue. I have a list of things that we can do. If we do something completely different, I just write it in and check it off when we do it. This isn't a must do list. This is a we might get to it list. And like I said, the only thing that I did special for you guys today is I printed this skills checklist separately because normally I just have it in my planner but I didn't want to have to flip back and forth. I wanted it to be easy for you guys. And then I pulled everything off the shelf. I would not normally pull everything off the shelf. I would normally just either make a quick note of what is on the shelf or snap a picture with my phone, take my planner to the shelves with me. It just depends on what my mood is that day. But it's that simple. Nothing's super complicated. It's not like a super difficult process but it's just a way for me to make sure that I am using the resources that I have, that I am covering most of the skills that were important to me to make sure that we covered in the school year and that we're still having fun at the same time. So I hope you guys enjoyed joining me this week while I planned for our home school. And I would love it if you would tell me in the comments how you plan for your home school week.


1000 GPUs are coming to freedom. GTX 1080Ti's with 11 gigabytes of RAM and you can now use your AMD GPUs in CryptoMiner. Before we only supported Nvidia now as a version 1.1.8, what you see right here, sorry 0.1.8, you can now mine with all your AMD GPUs as well. Tell us what you think down there in the comments below. CryptoMiner will auto update itself but if it doesn't, just go to your Shiny Freedom Dashboard and download it to update it. These are the 1000 GPUs we ordered the MSI GTX 1080Ti with 11 gigabytes of RAM. I'll scroll through the specs in case you're not familiar with this model. We will get them in about 30 days and we will be able to deploy them in a server farm. Now I also mentioned that I may give away some GPUs, I said something like 10,000, to people who are willing to run the CryptoMiner for one year and we would give you the GPU for free if you agree to do that. The problem is, it turned out to be a lot harder to source GPUs. Everybody wants them now! And so, we are having trouble getting 10,000 GPUs. These 1000 that we just confirmed the order for yesterday is the first large quantity we've been able to get. How many of you have been trying to buy GPUs if you know what I mean? And the price is crazy! We were able to get these 1080Ti's for a little bit under 1100 US dollars per GPU after taxes. So they're expensive cards, but the reason we need to buy a thousand is so we can prove the CryptoMiner. Here's the pitch. If the CryptoMiner software that we released to you can run on that much hardware like hundreds of thousands of dollars of hardware, if we trust it surely it must be good enough to run on your own computer. Of course we want to show credibility, we want to show that we eat our own steak, that we run our own software to mine Crypto. That's the purpose of this 1000 GPU order. I'll let you know more details, but in my previous video, click the 9 in case you missed it, I showed you a sneak peek at our server farm in Quebec. That is our prototype server farm that we will professionalize with much better cooling and arrangement and construction, so it looks very clean like a beautiful data center. That's our ultimate goal. We're just getting started in all this crypto business that will be a lot more to announce soon, but for now, those are the updates. Switching gears to YouTube, some of you said you were unlinked unfairly. Mark Heider, for example, wrote, Well, freedom unlinked me and it seems they can't help me at all. Of course we can help you. I checked it out personally, Mark, as I replied here. I re-invited your channel and added it to our global white list, which means it will never be unlinked by mistake again, as it was two days ago. Sorry about that. And I hope you understand that mistakes can happen. YouTube has new rules for MCNs that require us to be a lot more picky about the channels in our network. We have to unlink channels that we feel are bad actors or have a chance of getting terminated or demonetized or YPP suspended. And we have to do that because YouTube will punish us as an MCN badly, not just a little slap, slap on the cheek if we don't. So this is all MCNs have to do this. And I talked about it in my yesterday's video if you want to learn more. Retro arcade machine also had the same problem. He wrote, So after a year of hard work to meet the 4k1k rule to stay with freedom, which I did, you still unlink me. Ah, sorry. I apologize. Really. I do another mistake. I checked you out. And as I replied, I personally re-invited you back to freedom. And it was a mistake on linking you a few days ago. We do make them. Your channel is now in our global white list, which means it will never be unlinked again. If any, if this has happened to any of you, please tell me down there in the comments below and I'll look into it personally or email support at freedom.tm and our team will look into it and re-invite you if it was a mistake. And if it wasn't, we'll help you understand why you unlinked, what we feel you need to improve before we can re-link you. Hope this helps guys. Now I know this is a short video and it's 6am local time. I've already missed helping my kids go to school, but thankfully my wife managed to do that for me today. Now I'm just really tired and I need to get to sleep. I'm up all night. So I'll try to make a longer video, reading more of your comments, giving you more updates, making it a little more entertaining. Maybe I'll do a dance. And I still owe you the video showing you the behind the scenes of this new, bigger screen, or green screen that I have. That's coming soon. And we have a new studio. We've built out a beautiful new, I guess, a studio. Yeah, I just said that. So I'll give you a tour of that. And we had MSI come in, the company, MSI, yes, the guys who make those video cards and other boards and computers, laptops, they came in to film in our studio one of their MSI reviews. So the host, which was an MSI staff member, came in with her team. We filmed it, we edited it for them, and I'll show you that video because it's already out, but I'm tired. So I'll show it to you next video. It was really cool. I'm really excited to see that MSI worked with us to create their latest review videos, and I hope we will do a lot more collaborations with them in the future and other companies as well. And that was all done here in the Philippines, guys. Who am I? I am Papa George in the Philippines, George Sunpai, and Crypto George. Many other names. You, the beautiful freedom family, and Crypto family have given me. I am George, CEO and founder of Freedom, and soon to be incorporated Crypto family limited. No, Crypto family private limited. In Singapore, Singapore, you need private limited at the end of your company names, not just limited.  You're limited, but you're also private. Well, maybe it has some sense, but I'd prefer shorter names. How are you guys doing, by the way? I'd love to know. Tell me down there in the comments below. That wasn't supposed to rhyme. We don't talk much. I should do live streams, right? Many of you have said I should do live streams, and I want to. Right now, you just have Frosted Fricks giving you channel reviews as live streams here on Freedom Central, but I'd love to talk to you more. Don't know when, but I want to do some live streams. And of course, if many of you keep telling me I need your live streams, that'll motivate me to make them even sooner. So please tell me if that's something you want. I am George, and you've been watching. Click that I to partner with Freedom and join the Freedom family so we can all grow together. You get many perks, like position music.

I can't recommend FICON enough. It's been a great experience. I get to talk with a lot of other Liberty-minded students. It's a place where I can meet people who are really like-minded. FI just gets people from around the world.  I think it's a place to network. It's a place to meet people, to learn. All around it's been like a vacation. How I'm sure that it will become a must-attent event next year as well.


The Welsh Ambulance Service supports employee, Councillor David Isaac, to fulfil his duties as a full-time operational paramedic, as well as support his duties as a local government councillor and the Mayor of Murther. In this short video clip, David talks about the support he receives from his employer, work colleagues and fellow councillors, explaining how it has been essential in helping him to be effective in all of his different roles. The diversity of councillors in local government is essential to the effectiveness of decision making, affecting the communities in which we and our councillors live. Local government is not just the place for retired individuals. We need people who are younger and more diverse, people who reflect the communities that they represent. Being a paramedic, I'm used to dealing with all sorts of the general public, so I'm more able to deal with constituents' problems and concerns in a more sympathetic way. You have to deal with situations as they arise. I find that the sensibilities I bring in my professional role as a paramedic have led to me being able to take it into the role of being a councillor, where I'm able to respond more sympathetically with people and the situations I come into. As a councillor, I've often thought there being times in certain situations I thought, well, what would a paramedic do in this situation? So I acted on it. Being a paramedic, you have to be able to deal with challenging situations as they arise. And there are no more challenging situations that arise in council chamber, whilst sharing council meetings. So I believe that, yes, being a paramedic has helped me. So you join me today as I carry out one of my pre-election promises is to carry out street surgeries within my ward. After all, I'm a councillor, and as you're running a business in the Pindarran area, have you any problems that you can deal with? OK, OK, but if you need me, you know that you can get on with me, you buy me numbers in and over paper, and I'll be around again in the next few weeks. My employer sees the benefit of me being a councillor and mayor due to the fact that I bring new skills, insight and appreciation to the role of my profession as a paramedic. Giving me the time off to attend council, outside bodies, events that I need to take part in. My colleagues as well, apart from the Mickey taking that I take on times, are very supportive. They're, what shall I say, proud that the paramedic has reached an esteemed position as mine. And also the councillors are very much along the same lines as that. They're pleased to see somebody from my line of work get to the position I have.


In a blog, Pallett writes, Labour is likely to lose the election no matter who is leading it, but with Phil Goff at the helm it could be a devastating result. People have simply stopped listening. It's sad as Phil is a very nice and sincere man, but now it's time for him to go. I've said my bit, but Labour is now completely dysfunctional. It has to put Phil to bed. I have no reaction to Selwyn Pallett. Is it damaging to you, given that he's been involved in some of your conferences? No, it's an expression of one individual who's not a member of the party. But have you seen what he's had to say about your leadership? No, I've seen the general comment. Disappointed with him, given he's been involved with you in recent past? No, he's entitled to his opinion. I've never tripped up, I've never staffed up, I've done the job.
