Hello, Team C&O here. We're going through some tough times right now, but I'll tell you what, we're going to get through them. And one of the most important things, as we work together to get through this, is that we stay in communication, that we understand what each other are thinking. To help us do that, the Mitt Pond and I are going to go on Facebook Live this Wednesday to get at your questions. It would be very helpful if you would send those questions in ahead of time at the address shown on your screen right now. I will take all the questions that you send, plus whatever ones come in during that event. We'll try and get to all of your questions so that we understand what's on your mind and you can understand what we're doing, as I said, to work through this. We're going to be stronger on the other side of this thing, and we're going to be stronger if we do it together. So we'll see you Wednesday. Thanks.


What we really are trying to do is make sure that the Pennsylvanians get the training they need to and the skills they need to hold the jobs in this 21st century economy that we're building in Pennsylvania. So in my budget I have an 11 million dollar increase in funding for Labor and Industry. The Department of Labor and Industry, 5 million of that will go for training programs, practical training programs 4 million will go to leverage an additional 18.5 million dollars from the federal government that we'll have to do with vocational rehabilitation. In my career as a business owner I recognize that we need employees who have skills that allow them to support our business community in doing what they need to do. We need innovative workers, we need workers who have specific skills like welding in the trades to be able to do specific things but we also need workers who have the ability to continue to learn and that's what I'm committed to doing, that's what I wanted as a business owner that's what I'm hearing business owners need and that's what I want to make sure that Pennsylvania does.


Hello my people, welcome to the SCORE channel and welcome to the University of Indianapolis. We're located just about 20 minutes south of downtown Indianapolis, right off the highway, easy access. But, is it easy to get in here? We're going to talk admissions with Kay Gunyan, who sat down with me to talk about the admission process and everything UND has to offer. So let's check it out. My name is Kay Gunyan, I'm the director of international admissions for the University of Indianapolis. UND is a small to mid-sized university, about 5,600 students, 300 international students generally from about 65 different countries, so quite a lot of variety. I really like the layout of the campus, it's very spread out and a lot of smaller buildings so it kind of feels like a smaller campus, but in actuality it's pretty big, I mean take a look. I really get this like kind of a big high school vibe here, like it feels kind of like I'm in a high school but in just a bigger context. I don't know, it reminds me of my high school when I was in the States, but obviously they got more cooking here than whatever a high school would have, so we're going to find out a little bit more about the place. We have over 100 programs, engineering, computer science, business, health sciences, kinesiology, we have sport management, sports communication, sports information, that's a journalism degree. So many, I usually forget. The city of about one million, that's actually on the small side, the Midwestern US really cost less, still a lot of opportunities for students, internships, jobs. The NCAA college football championship just happened a couple days ago here, the Indy 500, one of the biggest sporting events in the United States happens here every year, there's a ton of big sports events here and so if you are interested in a sports career or participating as a student athlete, you Indy could be a great place for you. Indianapolis is actually a great city to study sports, the NCAA headquarters is here, some professional teams and amateur sport organizations as well. Our application process is free, that's the best thing about it. The second best thing about it is that it's quite easy I think, it's really quite easy to manage, we don't require a lot. For a freshman or first year student, we're just looking for the high school transcript as well as English proficiency results. On TOEFL for example, our requirement is 61. We are completely test optional now so SAT, ACT is not required. GPA we just need a 3 out of 4 or equivalent to a USB, it's really simple. We do have pretty generous scholarships for international students, freshman or first year student is automatically awarded an academic scholarship if accepted for admission. If you're an international student, you Indy could be a very affordable option for you. They have up to $20,000 in aid for international students every year. To put that in perspective, our tuition this academic year is about $32,000. Now you'll get that if you apply and have a good academic record. There are some other scholarships you might be able to compete for. We do have athletic grants as well, those can be much larger even up to full tuition. Those are awarded strictly by the coaches, so they will look for outstanding athletes in their sport and then if they find a star who's really going to make a difference for their team then they would award a larger scholarship. But they have a limited pool of funds so once those are awarded they're gone. Unlike NCAA Division III schools like Elmhurst or MSOE that we've covered before, this school is a Division II school. Division II schools can give student athletes a full scholarship so you could get free tuition here if you get in line with the coaches and show them your skills. Of course you're going to want to make sure you apply earlier because that process is a bit complicated. It's something that we're going to cover soon on the channel so make sure you guys are subscribed to see that when it comes out. We have about 21 sports. We see international students a lot in our tennis. Actually I think our whole tennis team is international, perhaps soccer or football. Swimming also has a lot of international students. I like this big open courtyard. I feel like they've got to have a bunch of fun events and traditions here. Like I don't know what they are yet. Maybe we'll find out. Our favorite tradition is our celebration of the flags to represent all the students and faculty and staff. Students can volunteer to carry the flag for their country. Of course those of us who work with international students it's our favorite event but actually it's the favorite event for a lot of people on our campus. And the best thing about UND, classes are really small. Our average class size is 17 so students really do get a lot of personal attention. And the other thing I really like about UND is I think we do a great job preparing students for careers. There are lots of internships available. We have an outstanding career office. They start working with students even before they arrive. Many are very successful in their careers. There is not a deadline for our applications. We make decisions on a rolling basis. So as long as you can complete the whole process and get here before classes begin for a particular semester you can enroll. Thanks so much for watching this video. Again my name is Kay Gunyan. You can reach me via email at admissions-international at und.edu. Thank you Kay for taking the time to talk to me. I really appreciate you having me in and if you guys are interested in applying to UNiversity of Indianapolis you can go to their website und.edu. You can find them on the common app or you can hit us up at prepwithscore.com to learn more about how we can help you prepare for your college applications. If you guys like these university tours leave a comment below. Tell me where you want me to go next. I can show those screenshots to universities and be like hey you know they want you. Let me in. Sometimes they say no when I ask. So if you guys say you want to go somewhere I'll make it happen. I've got one more university on this amazing Midwest tour and then I am done on this trip. So just start putting in your request for places you want me to go next. And I will see you next week.


expand your horizon, become part of a close-knit student community, hang out together, have fun, exchange views, inspire and get inspired. Want to know what it's like? Get in touch with our students!


In this video, we will look at the expansive history of Roman wall paintings. Beginning with early influences outside of Rome, we will then focus on the famous four Pompeian wall painting styles and their relationship with other contemporary wall paintings in Rome itself. In a second video, we will go beyond Pompeii and the Vesuvian cities to examine examples from all over the Mediterranean to witness the longevity of painted frescoes in the Roman Empire, including such cities as Ostia, Ephesus, Trier, and more. To begin with, we are largely dependent on our knowledge of the earliest examples of wall paintings from two Roman sources, Punnid the Elder and Vitruvius. Punnid the Elder, in his Encyclopedic Natural History, Book 35, discusses the great Greek artists and their Greek painting innovations as early as the 4th century BCE. Although we don't have any of these originals, we do have copies and emulations of these works from wall paintings in Pompeii and from later Mosaic copies. For example, Punnid describes the works of a certain Salsus of Pergamum of the 2nd century BCE. Pergamum was a center of Greek culture and learning in modern-day Turkey. Salsus was credited with painting a realistic depiction of doves drinking from a bowl. In this version, from Hadrian's Villa, the scene is actually a micro-Mosaic. Another painting ascribed as Salsus is a realistic illusionistic scene of an unswept dining floor after a party littered with food scraps. Such a Mosaic version, a copy of this painting, quite possibly, was found in a Hadrianic villa on the Aventine Hill, today displayed in the Vatican. Another author, Lucian, describes the wedding of Alexander the Great in Roxanne. He notes that it was painted by a contemporary of Alexander the Great, the painter Etienne. We think we have a credible copy of it from the House of the Golden Bracelet in Pompeii and the new antiquarium of Pompeii. The figure next to Alexander is in Persian dress. Such accurate features lend to the theory that it is a copy of the lost original. We also have faithful copies of two famous paintings from the Hellenistic Age. One is the Alexander Mosaic of 100 BCE from the House of the Faun in Pompeii, rediscovered in 1831. It realistically depicts Alexander and his Macedonians against the Persian King Darius, possibly the fame battle of Isis, a painting attributed to flexiness of Eritrea or Apelles. The painterly qualities, the shattering, the contours, the perspectives apparent to the Mosaic reflect the lost painting. Based upon a lost painting, today the Alexander Mosaic is in the museum in Naples, but here we have a faithful reproduction which brings it back to the original location, which is absolutely spectacular.  You get a sense of it through the colonnades, the wall paintings, and the modern landscaping. This was the greatest house, the largest house in Pompeii. We also have the fabulous Nile Mosaic from the Sanctuary of Fortuna and Prandeste in Lazio that depicts at times an accurate and sometimes imaginative Egyptian landscape with a bird's eye view labeled with Greek terms. Besides these incredible copies of paintings in the Greek world, we actually do have a few indications of the reverberation of the artists from the Macedonian royal tombs of Urgina, dated to 340 BCE, with such scenes as the rape of Persephone with dynamic action and delicate rendering of drapery and hair. Turning to early italic painting examples, we look at the impressive Francois Tumovolci of the 4th century BCE and the painted tomb slabs of Pestum. In Rome, we marvel at the historical tomb from the Esquiline Hill, now in the Montmartini Museum in Rome. Dating to the 2nd century BCE, it depicts the Fabii clan making treaties and fighting battles on four separate registers. Such organization of scenes would have been related to contemporary painted frescoes that decorated some public monuments, like the Coria, depicting Roman victories in the 3rd and 2nd centuries BCE. Another great source from antiquity, Vitruvius in his 10 books of architecture, discusses the composition of layered mortar and lime plaster of frescoes and the color added. Dry pigments were applied to the plaster still wet so that the color set into it to become an integral part of the wall. He discusses many pigments, for red, cinnabar, vermilion, that is mercury sulfide. Though toxic due to the mercury, it was also used for cosmetic purposes as well. For white, white lead. For blue, sand ground up with potassium nitrate and ground up copper heated in a kiln. For purple, burnt ochre plus vinegar. Purple was also extracted from the dye of a sea mollusk called murex. Alongside ancient authors and mosaic copies mentioned, the bulk of our knowledge of Roman wall paintings comes from the preserved frescoes in the Vesuvian cities destroyed by the eruption of the Suvius in 79. We have a treasure trove of work. And as early as 1882, the German scholar August Mao recognized a sequence of evolution of styles that are the anchor in the study of the frescoes today. While there are some challenges to his dating, the basic precepts still hold. Let's examine the four styles of Pompeian wall paintings. The first style, known as the incrustation style, an imitation of marble panels from Greek Hellenistic period palaces that became all the rage throughout the Greek world in the third and second centuries BCE. Vitrivious tells us as much in his seventh book on architecture. Strips and panels of polished and painted stucco were made to look like panels of marble to cover the walls in Roman houses. Typical examples of this period between 280 BCE come from the house of Salast and the house of the fawn in Pompeii and the house of the Samnite in Herculaneum. The second style is known as the architectural style. Illusionism is the dominant feature highlighted by architectural components in Tromploi, Trick of the Eye, and the vanishing point perspective composition, based off the Scanaefrans buildings in theaters in front of which actors performed. Vitrivious notes that in his day the projections of columns and gables were used to frame landscape scenery, bucolic scenes, images of gods, mythological scenes, and more. The second style flourished throughout the first century BCE and dramatically evolved over time. One of the earliest preserved examples is the house of the Gryphans from circa 100 BCE, found underneath the portion of the palace of Domitian on the Palatine Hill in Rome. Another early example is found in the Republican era sanctuary in Brescia in Northern Italy, dating to around 80 BCE. This sanctuary was painted with colonnades and stunningly realistic depictions of a variety of colored marble panels. Even more impressive are some later examples from the Vesuvian cities. In Pompeii, a real standout large-scale painting from the Villa of the Mysteries, and these paintings are known as megalografia. Another rare example of large-scale megalografia is from Boscariale, the Villa of Pubius Fanius Sinistor, now at the Met, with panels probably copying Hellenistic paintings. There are also impressive city landscapes that show the complexity of the contemporary Roman cities. Back in Rome, we can turn to frescoes dated between 50 and 30 BCE, the so-called House of Livia on the Palatine, and the many rooms of the so-called House of Augustus on the Palatine. Built on two terraces out of previously existing houses, it seems most probable that these structures went out of use as early as 36 BCE and the later House of Augustus placed on top next to the Temple of Apollo. And the Tiber Riverside Villa of the Farnizina, dated circa 20 BCE, it was possibly owned by Julia and Agrippa. A series of recomposed rooms removed from the villa during the construction of the Tiber River flood walls are on display in Palazzo Massimo of the Museo Nacional de Romano. They represent some of the best work produced in Augustan Rome showcasing just how far the second style had come. Another fine creation is the sub-training dining room from the Villa of Livia at Prima Porta, dated to 20 BCE, which has a barrel vaulted ceiling to imitate a grotto. All four walls depict a rich garden setting for the guests of the emperor and empress. It is also on display in Palazzo Massimo. The third style is the highly ornamental style, dated to the late Augustan period at the end of the first century BCE. It was criticized by Vitruvius as departing from reality with his fantastical beasts stemming from plants and delicate columns too thin to support real architecture. We find such examples of refined artistic flair in this so-called Villa of Agrippa posthumous in Pastor Tricase near Pompeii. And we also see the third style in the late Augustan era pyramid tomb of Cestius. The central chamber is delicately rendered by these few figures and thin columns. Such was the regression and the evolution beyond the second style. The fourth style is typically dated to 40 CE and beyond, thus fully in the Julio-Claudian and Flavin eras. At least 80% of the walls of Pompeii are decorated in the fourth style. Known as the intricate style, you have even more lavish details and more ornamentation than before. The second style architecture framework is back though less solid than before but more than that of the third style. The walls truly are taken to another level. The best example from Pompeii is the house of the Vettii, which we have already examined in detail in the video celebrating its reopening. It truly is a marvel and we see entire surfaces now covered with various scenes of landscapes, mythology scenes, still life scenes and more. We can also look to the house of Marcus Lucretius Fronto, rich in detail. Much of the dynamic also seems to have come from Rome itself. We get the true sense of profound ornamentation when we look at the wall paintings, also on the ceiling, of the Domus transitoria of Nero on the Palatine hill, dated between 59 and 64 CE, destroyed in the great fire of 64. We can also look to the impressive wall paintings of Nero's successor villa, the Domus Aurea. This was fourth style wall painting at its greatest in terms of sheer scale. What makes the fourth style so engaging is the volume of preserved works and we can explore in Pompeii, Herculaneum, Aplantis and Stabia, and also the archaeological museum of Naples and the various genres depicted, portraiture, landscape, mythology, daily life and more. With the destruction of Pompeii in 79, that was the end of the categorization of the four Pompeian wall styles. But of course, Romans continued to decorate their houses with wall paintings. And we will continue our discussion of the evolution of wall paintings in another video by looking at examples from all over the empire to see what happened under the Antonine emperors, the severans in all the way to the 4th century CE.

So this lecture is part of an online course on commutative algebra and what I would be doing today is trying to explain what an affine scheme of a ring is. So informally, this is a way of pretending that R is a ring of functions on the spectrum of R. So this will be a continuation of the previous lecture, so I'll just very quickly recall what we did there. So the spectrum of R has open sets U of F for F in the ring, which you can think of informally as being the points where F is non-zero. And for each of these open sets we assigned a ring O of U of F, which was just R localised at F, which we think of as being functions on the open set U of F. At least it's going to behave as if it were a space of functions on U of F. And in order for this to behave like functions on the open set U of F, you remember last lecture there were three properties it had to have a restriction property and a pre-sheaf property and a sheaf property. So we're going to recall these properties and just check that these things do have the properties. So first of all, let's just check restriction. So restriction just means if we've got a map, say U of F1 F2, which is contained in U of F1, then we should have a restriction map from R of F1 F2 to the minus one. So the restriction map goes in the opposite direction restriction map from R of F1 to minus one to R of F1 F2 to the minus one. So this just corresponds to restricting a function on this open set to this smaller open set. So since there's an obvious map from this localization to that localization, we do indeed have restriction maps. You can check that they satisfy some obvious conditions for restriction maps like composition if you've got the chain of three open sets. The next was the pre-sheaf property, which says that if U of F is covered by sets U of Fi.  And suppose G in the ring of functions on U of F is zero in the ring of functions on U of Fi, or I, then G should be zero. So that's just saying that if a function is zero on all sets of an open cover then it should be zero. So we better check that it satisfies this condition. So here this is just R of F the minus one. And now we should think about what it means for the U of Fi to cover U of F. Well, first of all, we can replace R by R F minus one. And doing this we can assume that F equals one. So we're talking about covering the whole spectrum of the ring by these sets U of Fi. And then the sets U of Fi cover the spectrum of R. Well, this means that no maximal ideal or no prime ideal contains all the Fi. Otherwise it would be a point of spectrum of all not contained in these sets. So this implies that the ideal generated by the Fi is the whole of R because it's not contained in a maximal ideal. So this implies sum of Ai Fi equals one to sum Ai. So this is the condition that says these open sets cover the spectrum of the ring. Now suppose that let's take G to be an element of R and suppose that G equals naught on all these rings O of U of Fi. Well, what this means is that G times Fi to the Ni equals naught for some Ni because this is the condition for G to be naught in the localization R Fi minus one. And now we know that F1 to Fn generate the unit ideal. And we'll also F1 to the N1 up to Fn to the N, that's a rather bad notation, Nn also generates the unit ideal of R because we can just take sum of Ai Fi equals one and raise this to some high power and we'll discover that one can also be written in terms of powers of the Fi. So sum of Bi Fi to the Ni equals one for some Bi. Well now let's just multiply this by G. So we find G is equal to sum of Bi Fi to the NiG. Well this bit is just naught by assumption up there, so G equals zero. So in other words, our definition of the ring of functions on an open set does behave reasonably in that if a function is zero on all open sets of a cover then it's zero. Next we have the sheaf condition which is a bit trickier.  So suppose we're given Ri over Fi to the Ni on the regular as a regular function of Fi and suppose these are the same on the intersection U of Fi, intersection U of Fj. In other words Ri over Fi to the Ni is equal to Rj over Fj to the Nj on this set. Then we can find sum R over F in U of F equal to Ri over Fi Ni on U of Fi. So what this is saying is if we're given functions on each of these open sets of a cover and they're equal on the intersections of these open sets then we can glue them together and get a function on the big set. And we'd better check that our definition of functions on open set satisfies this condition. Well as we're going to prove this in several steps. So step one, it's the most important one is to cheat. We're going to assume R is an integral domain for simplicity. The result is still true even if we don't assume this but it's a little bit trickier. In fact it's so tricky that I always get it muddled up whenever I try and do it for R not an integral domain. So we're only going to do a simple special case. So step two, as before we can assume that F equals one by replacing R by the localization R F to the minus one. So in other words, we're assuming that the UFIs cover the spectrum of R. Again, as before we have sum of Ai Fi equals one for some Ai as the UFI cover the spectrum of the ring R. And step four, we can assume that all the Ni equals one just replace Fi by Fi to the Ni. So we're given elements Ri over Fi and the exponent up here we're just taking to be one. And the problem, the goal is to find some element R in R with Fi R is equal to Ri. So in other words, we're just saying R is equal to Ri over Fi on the localization. And we know that some of the Ai Fi equals one. So if we had an R with this property, what we're going to do now is just sort of do figure out what R, suppose we have found such an R, let's try and figure out what it is. So that sum of Ai Fi is one. So sum of Ai Fi R would have to be equal to R. And if Fi Ri is equal to Ri, this would have to be equal to sum of Ai Ri. So this suggests, so we define R to be sum of Ai Ri because it has to be that if it has this property. Now we have to check that Fi R equals Ri. This calculation doesn't prove this yet. I mean we assumed Fi R equals Ri in order to reduce that R was equal to that. But the implication the other way is something a little bit tricky that we still need to prove. So we can prove it as follows. So we've got to show Fi R equals Ri. So we calculate Fi R is equal to sum of Aj Rj times Fi. And this is because, just like this in here, here we're assuming the fact, here we're using the fact that R is equal to sum of Rj Aj by definition of R. And this is equal to sum of Aj Fj Ri, which looks like a misprint, but we'll come to that later. And this is equal to Ri. And this is because we're using the fact that sum of Aj Fj is equal to one. And you remember this followed because our open sets covered the spectrum of R. Now we come to this middle inequality. So what's going on here? Well, here we seem to be saying that Rj Fi is equal to Ri Fj, which looks like a misprint. Well, this is true because Ri over Fi is equal to Rj over Fj on O of Fi intersection O of Fj. And here we're also using the fact that R is an integral domain. If R is not an integral domain, then these two are equal on this intersection. It's a little bit more complicated than this because you've got to put factors of Fi and Fj on both sides and things get into a real mess. So anyway, we've proved that R has restriction Ri over Fi on O in the ring O of U of Fi, which shows that our definition really does behave as if it is functions on open sets of Ri. So open sets of the spectrum. What we have essentially done is construct something called the affine scheme of the ring. So the affine scheme just means you take the space spectrum of R and each open set of the form O of U of Fi. You assign the ring R of Fi to minus one, and then you check these behave as if they were functions on the open set U of Fi by doing the check we've done above. So the spectrum of the ring R is used very heavily in algebraic geometry.  So this side is going to be algebra and this side is going to be geometry. And what we're going to do is have a sort of way of converting between algebraic facts and geometric facts. So first of all, a ring is going to correspond to this topological space spectrum of R together with this collection of rings on open sets. And what does a prime ideal correspond to? Well, a prime ideal, that's easy. It just corresponds to a point because we define the points of spectrum of R to be prime ideals. So that's not a big deal. Maximal ideals, well, we've done that they correspond to closed points because we've got this rather weird topology on the spectrum where points need not be closed. What about an element of R? Well, this corresponds to a sort of function. You remember whether or not it was a function was a little bit hazy because the space it took values in sort of varied. So for each point P, we have to take values in the local ring Rp and this local ring can vary. So it's a rather funny sort of function. If the ring has no null potents, then instead of this local ring, as we saw, we can take values in the field. A function can also correspond to a sort of hypersurface of zeros, which is the set of P such that F is not in P. However, this is not one to one because if you multiply the function by some say scalar in a field, you'll get the same hypersurface. So that's not an exact correspondence. What about an ideal of the ring? Well, ideals correspond to closed sets. As we saw earlier, because if you've got an ideal, we can just take a closed set sort of corresponding informally to the points where all elements of the ideal vanish. And again, this is not a one to one correspondence because different ideals can actually give rise to the same closed set. What about a local ring Rp where we localize it at a prime? Well, this corresponds to local rings of the spectrum of R, which is informally functions defined near the point P. So what we do is we take a small neighborhood of P and look at the functions defined on that neighborhood and then kind of take a direct limit as that neighborhood gets smaller and smaller. What about a localization Rf to the minus one? Well, this corresponds to a special open set of the form u of f. So that would just be u of f. So these form a basis of the topology. So not all open sets are necessarily of this form. And I guess different elements f can give the same localization. And again, this isn't quite a one to one correspondence, but we can think of localizations as something to do with open sets. Or generally, we can have a localization R of s to the minus one for some set s. And this sort of vaguely corresponds to an intersection of open sets. So we might have an infinite intersection of open sets and this is something to do with a more general localization of R. So you can take an idempotent a with a squared equals a and these correspond to closed and open sets. So this corresponds to the set where informally where a is equal to zero. So a squared equals one, you can check that the prime ideals containing a form a set that is both open and closed in the spectrum of R. So this kind of corresponds to something called cloak and sets. So finally, one thing that I'm not going to say so much about because you haven't quite covered it yet is that modules over the ring will turn out to correspond to certain sheaves over the spectrum. But since we haven't really discussed sheaves, I'm going to just leave that to an algebraic geometry course. Let's have an example and see what this looks like for two rings as usually I take the two basic rings spectrum of C of X and spectrum of Z and show that these are as usual rather closely analogous. So the spectrum of C of X looks a bit like the complex plane so it's got points nought in C corresponding to ideal X and the point three corresponding to ideal X minus three and so on. And it's got a generic point corresponding to ideal zero. And we could look at an open set we might look at the open set. So we're going to be responding to say the function f. Let's take X to be X minus one X minus four and look at you have F will you have F will just be the open set where we take the complement of the points. That should be the point one and change that to X minus one. We take the complement of the points one and four in the complex numbers. So, you have F is this blue set here, and then the, the range of view of F will just be C of X, where we localize at X minus one minus one and X minus four. So we allow, you can think of this as being functions where we allow poles at one and four. For instance, a typical element might be X squared over X minus one squared X minus four. And this will be in the ring of regular functions on the set you have F. So you see it's regular except at one and four. So you have F doesn't have the points one and four and that's okay. We can, we can think of it as having a pole of order two at this point and a pole of order one at that point if we like. And then we can do something very similar for spectrum of Z. So we might, for example, take various points on spectrum of Z corresponding to prime ideals as usual. And we might take F to be say the function 14, and then U of F will be the spectrum of Z with the numbers two and seven emitted. And what will O of U of F be? Well, it will be Z where we invert two and we invert seven. So you should think of this operation here as correspond to this operation here. And a typical element of this ring might be say nine over 28. So this will be in the ring O of U of F. So we can think of as being three squared over say two squared times seven. And you can think of this rational number as being a sort of function which is defined on spec of Z except at the point two and the point seven. And you see it's not defined at two because it's got a pole of order two at the prime two in the same way that this has a pole of order two at the prime X minus one. And it's got a pole of order one at the prime seven. So this is the very geometric way of thinking of rings. You think of elements of rings as being functions on the spectrum of Z. And you think of elements of certain localizations of the ring as being functions on open sets of the spectrum of the ring. Okay, and next lecture we will be reviewing tensor products in preparation for discussing the relation between tensor products and localization.


would have like a prepared response to at least like the easiest data to find. None of these are like super varied or super difficult. Like these are all like the mainstream, widespread academic point of view. I mean, at least also I can respect that you tried to say that all of academia is fake to try to get off of it since you knew that you couldn't count it. No, you're mischaracterizing me again, Dusty. That's not what I'm saying. What you are doing, and this actually speaks to the question here, is that not only, no, not only are people, the audience, being expected to believe their characterizations of studies at face value, which is in and of itself a problem. Secondly, we are being held to their characterizations of a study that hasn't been verified. We have not verified or seen these. So the idea that reality as you presented as you distill from a study you select is more valid than the factual. I mean, you like to say that studies are only valid and that the crime statistics that crime statistics aren't valid. No, I mean, these crime statistics, these are from the FBI. These are from from New York city. Regardless of what we're talking about, all of these statistics we have presented are you can look them up, right? A crime statistic. Maybe I can use your characterization of a study that's your interpretation. Maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe easier.  Yeah, I know. It's the Jews, brother, they're all over the years. No, go look up Alan Sokol. S-O-K-A-L, sociology. We shouldn't have to look them up. They should have done it for this debate. That was your job. Sociology is a fake science. People are, academics, real academics are constantly laughing because they send in bogus studies and they always publish them in their journals.  This Marxism. Move on, unless if it's an answer for the actual question. I just want to talk about sociology for the audience. So studies are like meals, okay? That's what we're asking. You're giving a single ingredients, okay? To say that a stat and a study are the same thing just isn't how any of this works. Studies incorporate wide varieties of stats into what they, into their entire project. And then add their ideology to it. So that two plus two equals five. I just want to say this is an ideology. I mean like, when you say add an ideology, I mean every study is done with some end in mind. Unless you want to go like really deep, maybe James here can have a conversation on instrumentalism or something. If you want to talk about like the philosophy of doing this study. In the absence of any, so can a person who's a race realist be an academic nowadays? Yeah, I just, wait, wait, wait, hold on. I just want to get fired. So if my opinion gets you fired from academia, then how am I supposed to have the, really quickly. How can we talk about physics when they're firing on the planet? There's, oh no. Okay, Destiny has the last word on this one. All right, I'm sorry. We have to do that. I have to do that. You have to keep going. Discipline was attacked. If you hadn't got a chance to respond to it, I'll give you a quick response. One sentence, without evidence that a study's methodology is flawed, claiming it is flawed is the definition of feels over reels. We showed you all kinds of studies and you guys just ignored them. All kinds. All kinds of data. All kinds of studies, you guys just. S.H., thanks for your question said, bad moderation, appreciate that. We keep our critics close though. So leave them alone mods. And I will, I appreciate the accountability. Manchester police, thanks for your question said, systematic systems that govern everything from jury bias to politicians, choices are not able to affect academic studies. The systematic powers of whitey cannot enter the university door. What? I don't think, I don't think that was an argument. Yeah. So you can probably move to the next one if you'd like to. Next up, I didn't understand it. Let's see. Quote, Brady Constance, thanks for your question says, color of crime, quote unquote, there is a, there is little bias because victim surveys show that the color of the criminal in a violent act and the federal data is a close. A close? It is close. I think you mean it is close. Yeah, no, that is a, that is well-established. I think they actually conceded that point very early on that blacks do commit more crime than whites at an extremely disproportionate rate. But to answer, I think what that previous super chatter was getting at it in terms of bias in academia, I mean, this is something that is worth discussing. Let's get, let's, I don't know if I wanna, it's this one, Michael, for a long time. It was- The specificities, right? It was- Also, nobody conceded that point. It was never debated. It was never talked about. I don't remember. I do remember you did admit that blacks commit more crime than whites. Yeah, they did admit that. We're not conceding or admitting that. That's like a fact that we all agree on. It's like, it's not a concession. Like, do you think the sun is out in the day? Well, your argument is- Oh, it is. You conceded that. Black people commit more crime, but somehow the fact that they go to prison at higher rates and have all these issues with jurors- I feel the same way about men.  It'll help you for your next debate, okay? Next up, Matthew Steele. Thanks for your question. This is for Striker and Alsup. Ask, do you think the most important ideal virtue in the US is improving human life or making money? And definitely have to give them the last word on this. Go ahead, Alsup and Sir Derek. I'll say it's very clear. It's about improving the human condition and human life. It's not about money. Money, some people say time is money, but I say money is time. People need more leisure time. They need workers' rights. We need to fight for the working people, especially the white working people who are under siege from both the right and the left.  He was sent to us. You are hated for your race. And additionally, you have no rights because of your class. So this is something that we believe. We're not conservatives. We are nationalists and we are third-positionists.  Next, John L. 1319, appreciate your question.  This is to the nationalist guys. How about Louis Farrakhan? How about various historical figures?  I mean, what's the answer to that? We have to keep, to be fair, I have to give him the last word. Mecca Wing Zero, thanks for your question for both sides. Asking, do you believe the criminal justice system is sexist due to the overwhelming majority of arrests being men? Yeah, well, yeah, oh yeah, yeah, yeah. That's been proven. Actually, we might even have that in our own data that when you control for all other factors, past convictions, criminal history, all of that stuff that men do receive worse sentences, especially when it comes, I think, from departure from the guidelines than women do. Yeah, way worse, like judges, because they think men are more threatening, which you could argue they are, but obviously the disproportionate representation bears out, yeah. Just like with blacks. Oh, just like with blacks, it's disproportionate. Thanks. He agrees again. Hey!  Blacks are disproportionately. Another concession. Because they're disproportionately violent, just like men are. Wait, that statement was actually correct. They are disproportionately violent. That is true. They're also disproportionately violent. Thank you, that's it. Game over. We're not arguing about whether they're disproportionately violent. We're arguing whether they're disproportionately violent. So you guys are arguing like the Jared Taylor position? We're arguing like the position that was listed in the mail. Maybe your caretaker should have read it to you if we're talking about coming into this. Next, Mecca Wings, well, we got that one. Rugal Middall quotes Vash saying, if blacks move to Africa to be among blacks, that's fine, same with whites, and wherever they want to move to, unquote. So Africa for Africans confirmed? No, everywhere for whoever wants to go there. I don't know. Who makes that decision? I wait. Different countries out of control of their own immigration policy. We're arguing, but we're arguing broadly what my ethical principle is. And what I'm saying is, I think it's nice when individuals get to move to whatever part of the world they'd like to move in. We get one life, there's one planet. There are a lot of beautiful things to see, beautiful people to meet. I think it's nice that people should be able to travel the world, experience what they wish to experience. Yeah, that's okay. There's a lot of hope. A few years ago, that shows that not a single country in the world has a majority that supports open borders. Damn it, not a single country in the world. Are you kidding? Not a single country in the world is anarcho- Not a single majority in the world of borders. You've hit it. The capital support open borders. It's almost like... As you like to quote Kato Institute Studies on immigration, why are we allowing him to just completely... Wait, it's almost like I'm an anarchist and there are no giant anarchists like anarchist, syndicalist, like... That's because anarchism is just a political... It's almost like I have political ideals.  That haven't happened yet. That's what anarchism is.  It's like a jump in here. You've been very stable this debate. You've been putting your best foot forward for your... You're not making a good argument for your study. I think when we have the support, people walk close borders all over the world. If I was also, but be pretty mad, I got paired up with you, to be honest. No, I mean, that the DNC is not gonna work. To be fair, at some point, I got to give Vosh the last word because it was an objection toward him. Well, if I could make a statement on this. I think it is very interesting that the anarchist position on open borders and open migration is the exact same as global capital. That should tell you something. Secondly, Vosh's position on the ethics of open migration, free movement of people, is it does not hold any regard for the will of the people in the countries that are being immigrated to. Right? So since I'm getting the last word here, I'm the desire of the people from the third world. But it doesn't take into account the wishes of the people, say in Europe, or say in the United States, who time and time again, in polling, expressed that they are opposed to immigration. They've had enough. Blacks in South Africa don't want more. So several things. First of all, what he just said is untrue vis-a-vis immigration data. It's more complicated than he's making it out to be. Second of all, I'm pretty sure that capitalists don't generally support the abolition of private property. Maybe they've changed it. Maybe Goldman Sachs is pushing for that. Maybe they've moved it to people. And third of all, when I'm making moral prescriptions, I can make them with regards to the fact that there are people in different countries who disagree with me. For example, I don't think that raping and enslaving women is okay. But the people in Saudi Arabia probably have some different views on me with regards to that particular gendered interaction. And to have somebody say, well, that's not very nice to the Saudi Arabian people. It doesn't really land home with me. My moral principles exist opposite whatever weird demographic polling I can bring up to justify any conceit.  I've got to give them the last word.  Both is our thing to your question.  Well, yes. If I could take this first. And I think that what we are doing, what the one sentence- They have the real compassionate position towards black people. The position that Sreika and our advocating for actually gives agency to blacks and to others.  Liberal colonialist. He's attempting to, yeah, exactly. To impart his liberal colonialist mindset on everyone across the world, on Saudi Arabians, on blacks. He's attempting to ascribe his own liberal values onto these other people. This is a very important point. And it speaks to- He's trying to skip one. It speaks to why- This has nothing to do with loving black people. It speaks to why, yes, it does. Because it speaks to why you, despite claiming that there is institutional bias and racism in this system, then pivot away and run away from the discussion of what to do about it and are afraid of the answer that would remove the possibility of white oppression or white bias from impacting blacks, which is having two separate systems, right? So you are, it's liberal colonialism at its finest. What Saudi Arabians do in Saudi Arabia is they love black people. They don't, because they don't, they don't love black people. That's their crippling flaw. That's their- You want to control black people. They don't love black people. It's fine to make fun of them like you do with Jesse Lee Peterson. That's another thing. Jesse, you want to make fun of your coon. That's a good one. Whoa! All right, we are not- First of all, you were the one earlier that claimed to have broken figures.  For real, we're not, like, we're not gonna get the channel in trouble. Don't say anything like that again. I don't think they love black people very much. I meant it in a certain context, though.  He was using the mean version of all the time. Like, don't do it again. All right. So, next one. Appreciate your question. This one comes in from, the red elephants said, let's see. They said, blacks are more likely to be charged longer for drugs because they're more likely to sell in the open and more likely to have a previous criminal history. There are many studies that conclude this. Okay, yeah, so- You don't need a length one. I'm sorry, hold on. Sorry, I hear this time so many times. All these researchers do all of these studies on all of this crime-related stuff. And you think that none of them, not a single one thought, I wonder if past convictions might have been the difference here. Nobody controlled for that. They clearly do. They explicitly do in every study that Vajranai brought to this conversation.  Yeah, I also wanna say that I've looked over these data points specifically. And while it is true that there are corollary factors like black people are more likely to sell in the open and black people are more likely to smoke marijuana in public rather than in private, these statistical factors accounted for a very small percentage deviation from their actual arrest rate, whereas they're arrested four times as often. So you can't just prove like this is a correlative factor, that's a correlative factor. You have to prove it accounts for a four times discrepancy, which in the case of that data, and I know because I've looked at those studies, it most certainly does not. Next up, thanks for your, forgive me, did we get a response from both sides? Or wait, that was actually a way that was targeting Destiny Bosch will give them the last word on that one. Matthew Steele, thanks for your question. Striker and also also said, do you think that if Black Lives Matter protesters carried AR-15s while they peacefully protested that their second amendment rights would be respected by police? Yes, this happened last month where Black Lives Matter, I don't know if they were officially BLM, but a group of armed black protesters escorted a on state property, by the way. And I believe it was Michigan. They had an armed demonstration and they were unmolested by law enforcement. Right, and also like the new black panthers.   So I mean, the new black panthers are actually considered by Zionist groups to be a hate group, quote unquote, by the ADL. So they're allowed to carry their guns in public. The BLM group you're referring to was actually a group of paid actors who were evoking the aesthetic of BLM. They did a big apology tour on Twitter for it because they were getting stolen valor. I need a study for that. How about for data?  No, no, no, there are other factors, bro. There are other factors, bro. The NRA currently supports increased gun control in terms of background checks and bump stocks. So that's a lie. Right. Wait, generally, they passed massive gun control education. Ronald Reagan, no. His studies are right. His act goes to right. Your studies are wrong. Your past gun control legislation. You're wrong. I mean, you're wrong. The NRA currently supports increased gun control in terms of universal background checks and bump stocks, which they supported two years ago. Then the argument would be that they supported disproportionate gun control with regards to BLM. To be fair, that's not the argument you made. What you exactly said was the only time they supported gun control was when it was black. That's what destiny said. Do all white people look the same to you? Oh, OK. Well, black people. That's what I thought. The NRA is obsessed with having black spokesmen and black members and all that stuff. They also support expanding gun rights to minorities. And they have programs dedicated to that. That's the NRA. So this is just ridiculous, like made up.   There can't be any racial bias. Well, it clearly shows that they at least aren't against black people having guns as long as it's legal. The problem is that black people. Maybe they're OK with black conservatives having guns, but they weren't OK with black socialists having guns. I think you might be confusing that for how the FBI and the police were investigating Shahamish, where the white people came out to defend them.  What are you talking about? For black rioters. You might be confusing it for that. Do you think saying, I think you might be talking about, is this like a gateway to a non-sequitur? They harass white people. Having a gun in this country as a white man with an opinion is basically demanding that the government come after you. Wait, I have a gun. Multiple guns. And I have very strong opinions. You support the system, though. That's the difference. By being anti-capitalist? Wait, is he an anarchalist or whatever? Or is he a anarchalist? He is a capitalist who pretends to be a capitalist. This is the same Nozbo argument every time. Even if you're anti-capital, anti-private property, anti-everything, if you support immigration, it automatically makes you a capitalist. That's because you have to say, that she doesn't care about race. You and the Cato Institute have the same opinion on it. Let's go back to the original question. So the original question, though, I can give you the last word if you'd like to, which that original question was from Matthew Steele asking about black protesters or BLM protesters with their AR-15s. And it sounds like you said that you think that they would be respected by police if you feel good about that. One last thing, do you think if white people were rioting, burning down cities, killing people, shooting police officers, do you really think it would be allowed to go on? Oh, you didn't see that. Wait, how long wait? Wasn't it in Bournemouth? Two federal police shot by BLM in Los Angeles. If a group of white people were behaving that way, they would put the army on the streets. Remember, we know this will be true because we saw them in Charlottesville. And you're wrong. What are you talking about? Charlottesville, where were the police at? Do you know who started the riot? Do you know who started it? Well, we're not interested in Charlottesville conspiracy theories, dude. Just hold on. Okay, everybody on mute. Reset for a second. Okay, so that last question was on the AR-15s. It's okay. I appreciate everybody's passion. So we're just coming back to it now. The AR-15s, Black Lives Matter, if they were carrying the AR-15s, I think we got way past that. We're on something totally new now. I think black people should be able to have guns. It's cool. Black Panther Party was cool. Yeah, that's my answer. Next, well, the question though, originally for Stryker and also, if you guys want, the last word is yours. Yeah, I think you can look at the treatment of white peaceful political protesters. And you will see, exactly, and you will see that the agitation, in the case of Charlottesville, being a great example, agitation came from the left. It came from Antifa. And what was the end result of that? It was dozens, I think, with Ram and everyone else, it doesn't have to do with the question. We are comparing apples to apples here. When white people went to peacefully demonstrate, we got cracked down by both the local cops and the anarchists, and there was a Black Lives Matter contingent there. None of them went to prison. This is just like- A lot of white nationalists did. BLM protest today, the National Guard was called. Congratulations. I don't know what you're talking about. And how many arrests were made? Our dear moderator asks a simple question, and you're like, well, the 1982 lynching of the black man, the Ku Klux Klan was actually not the person who did it, you know? You're just getting nervous. You're just getting nervous because we're getting a little bit nervous. Talk about the actual issue, ever. Let's go to the- So this question is an interesting one. James Bond, thanks for your question asked. They said, police spend more time in violent areas, and thus, isn't it more likely that they would find other crime in these violent areas? Yes, it's been accounted for. That is definitely true. It is also literally the first thing these people account for when they're conducting these studies. Let's give, and we'll give Eric and also the last word. I mean, no amount of sociology can talk away the fact that there's more dead bodies showing up in black neighborhoods. This is that simple. No one can explain it though. Well, here's the thing. If there's more dead bodies showing up in your neighborhood because of homicide, then it's very obvious that more people in your neighborhood are gonna go away to prison and get the death penalty.   It's not anti-intellectualism to lie.  Intuition says- If you go outside right now and you would've looked across your city, okay? The horizon is flat, all right? Now I'm just saying, I've been in airplanes where I've never seen curvature view. That's true. And I've looked with my own eyes, okay? Well, I love how the flat, the people who are the flat earthers, the people that are ideologues here that are doing this out of a religious belief are people like you who, no matter what data I show you, you guys will never take the racialist position. No matter what data we show you. So what is the point of this? You have an ideology. You have a fixed religious belief in the equality of all races. That we support with data. It's a belief that's wrong. It's a belief that's wrong. The Chinese have already just proven it in their universities because they don't have the political pressures to give the system what it wants. And show the studies. The official ideology of the United States of America is anti-racism. They're laying Black Lives Matter banners- Every question from a moderator goes the same way. Outside the U.S. Embassy in Asia. So give me a break. That's the official ideology of the U.S. government. You push it.  You know, I've never been killed by a Black man. I don't know. The evidence is feeling pretty strong. Do Black people murder anyone? I mean, I've never seen a murder. True. I think a really important question that Stryker needs to address is, why do you believe that white people were created by Yakub? True. Why?  I believe white people are people, Stryker. I want to hear you talk about Yakub and all of the creation of people white people. She's corny. If he's corny. Okay, one last time. I want to give you guys the last word, Stryker and James.  And they're afraid of it. Yeah, I don't want to say that. And they're afraid of talking about solutions. Got it. I think that's the most salient point here. To be fair, I do have to give the last word to Stryker and James. Okay.   That is according to FBI data. So, I mean, all no analysis, just individual data points that you do not tie together with analysis. Data is irrelevant. Do you need data as irrelevant? That is so fantastic, Stryker. I appreciate it being open. You're saying that data doesn't matter if it doesn't have some sociology. No, you're not providing data. You're providing stats out of context. The statistics are black crime or on paper. They're well known. What context minimizes the fact that whites are 27 times likely to be killed by a black person?  Can I appeal to the moderator? I've got one sec. It's, hold on.  Can we actually like respond to the questions the Super Chatters are asking? Let's see, so what I have to do is I have to give Stryker and also the last word and then we got to go to this next question. I wonder if it'll be about the question. Yeah, well, in the original question, the original question, were we on the, this wasn't on the AR-15s for Black Lives Matter, was it? Literally no one knows right now, James.  Yeah, well, according to you guys, data is irrelevant. We don't respond with the response you want that our response is somehow invalid. Yeah, that's not how it works. We have the data, we have the crime rates, we have the stats, we have them broken down by race and you guys just snark about it and just pretend it's not happening. It's not real. We have 1350, we're not owned, we're not owned, we have 1350. But it's 1350 real, is it? Is it? Now he's arguing for it. Snarking about it doesn't mean that black people don't commit far more interracial crime than the reverse. So what is, what are you laughing at? I feel like you literally came to this debate and like you have a folder titled like research for debate and it's full of like rage comics right now. Like that's what you call it. Right, I mean, you're not even addressing what we're saying. I mean, this is just, you're just trying to, you're not addressing the super chat. All right, all right, let's, next. Jonathan Why Woo, let's see.  Hey, go ahead, it's fine. Move on to the next one. Jonathan Why Woo, thanks for your question, said our striker and also uncomfortable but me and my Han Chinese ancestry are every bit as American as they are. I don't really care. I mean, is that, is that some gotcha for some like paleo con?  I say good for the Chinese. The Han race is, is ascendant. I applaud them. It's a very consistent civilization. I think that the Chinese government is actually fighting for its own race and its own race's existence. And I think that's why they will eventually destroy America in an international conflict, whether passive, cold or hot. And this man sending in that super chat will renounce his American citizenship and go live in a prosperous China. I mean, that's just how it is. I'm glad he has another country to go to. Okay. White people don't have a place to go after this. I thought we have all of Europe. I thought that Europe was open. Yeah, and look at the demographics there. Good. And then we'll do it to China too, baby. We'll import the third world into China too. No one will be safe.   You said it. That's the third dream. Right. Mascalf, Mascalf. They can't, but the funny thing is, the funny thing is they're so, they're so addled, they don't know I'm making a joke. They actually think that's what we believe. They can't actually tell. Every comment you make is the nervous Wojak with the smiling mask.  So it's hard to tell. Yeah, I mean, you want to talk about comics. That's like the ha-ha, he didn't know that I was pretending to be retarded. It's like, all right. Yeah, got to move, got to move on. I'll give you guys the last word because that one was correct. They do, they're admitting it. They think that's actually, that's how like black and white it is. It's like a child's view of politics. Well, if they look at the data point that they have.  They're data point. Vash, bad, destiny, bad, frowny face. I have here, this is- You took me at my word. Ha-ha-ha. Let's- I feel like this is like a massive Turing test.   Destiny, why do you keep doubling down in personal attacks and refuting- This guy literally called both of us faggots multiple times and we're the ones making- That wasn't a personal attack. Aren't you proud to be LGBT? What are you talking about, dude?  Are you LGBT or not? Let's, let's, we've got a question from insane hermit says, do Destiny and Vash not allow blacks to separate because they want continuous race war and exploiting of whitey?  What are you talking about? Well, so the clear answer is, I don't think that the combination of blacks and whites would lead to a perpetual race war.  But no, I mean, I don't think either of us are interested in enforcing some racial separation of like stores or properties or something like that. I don't think there's going to be a perpetual race war as a result of that. Wait, it was for a while, we can't do every eight minutes. I had the last word on that.  I have the last word actually. Oh, sorry, Vasha, go ahead. Yeah, all I want to say is, yeah, people should be able to live with one. That's it. That's it. It's so simple. I don't want to force anyone together or anyone apart. I just don't want people to be able to discriminate based on race. It's very simple. Next, just watch one to four. This, we've only got maybe time for another one or two. I think one of you guys is on the East Coast, right? So we just watched one to four. Thanks for your question. Said, Destiny, stop and frisk served as a deterrent, not an illegal gun confiscation program. That's why, quote, only about 750 guns, unquote, were found, but gun crime went down. That's a really interesting question because I literally, we need to talk about this. I had a study from 2017 called to stop and frisk a deter crime, evidence from the aftermath of Floyd v. City of New York. And interestingly enough, it didn't. Gotcha. Zephyr, let's see. Says, Zephyr says, Striker, don't talk about blacks wanting separation.  Don't you dare try to speak for us. Striker, do you- I will give you this. I am just talking about black people.  You can look at Malcolm, the greatest black men in American history. Many of them agree with my position on this, okay? The Black Panther Party, for example, they were very, very skeptical of the weather underground, even though the weather underground, which is all Jewish and all liberals, white liberals, wealthy white liberals and Jews were made up the weather underground. They invented the concept almost of white privilege. They had these struggle sessions and atoning for your privilege and things like that. The Black Panthers before that were aligned with the Young Patriot Organization, which was an unapologetically white working class movement of Southerners who use the Confederate flag and you can find pictures online of young patriots who were unapologetic, racialists basically, they were Dixie nationalists with Black Panthers and their flags are together. So black people and white people historically have come together with this point of view to fight the system together, okay?   When they see white liberals move, when white liberals move into their neighborhoods, they understand that their neighborhood's about to get gentrified. When they see Whole Foods open up, they understand that means the rent is gonna go up. So I'm just saying, like, let's talk to black people about this, but this is an exception to the rule, but I noticed one thing. You didn't have any kind words for Destiny and Vash. He just said, hey, you don't speak for me either, which is fine, I don't pretend to, they do.  I argue for what I argue because I think it's correct because I think it's right. But these policies you support are going to impact black people. Everyone, because I think my ethics are applicable.  In fact, if I was an unironic white supremacist, I would agree and amplify with you.  Police- I'm gonna talk about pulling police out of black neighborhoods. Aren't you an anarchist? You don't believe it? Wait, was he an anarchist or a liberal? Which one, Striker? Does he change like- Good question. Based on what you're talking about. There's a lot of fluency there. So are you an anarchist or a liberal, Vosh? Do you support defunding the police?  Well, if the police have no money, who's gonna police them? I didn't say, do you think defund means zero money? That would be abolished. That's what the people protesting are saying. Yes, if we don't want police, we want to abolish- That's an anarchist position. Abolish the police means zero money. Defund the police means take away their budgets. Right, well, are the police gonna do it as like a weekend volunteer thing if you defund them? Are you sure you're equipped to have that? Maybe this could be the next conversation. I don't think any of the talking points to anything I do is under Vosh, please. Well, okay, so the actual response is, in case you're wondering, defund the police usually refers to allocating different portions of the police budget to other services that things that the police should be involved in.  It's probably shouldn't be the police that are called in, which probably would be somebody especially equipped to deal with special forces. Well, that's gonna affect black people. That's what defund the police means. Don't say, all right, because you didn't know that five seconds before I explained it to you. Black people's lives and you see how the police now they have responding to right now explaining what it meant to you completely didn't know. I know you wanna move on to the next point. The murder rate goes sky high as soon as police keep a hands-off position. And that's good thing, none of us are talking about that. Cool, we all agree on that. Let's see, I'm trying to remember who's the original question for. Okay, so Striker and also the original objection was to you guys, if you guys wanna respond, you can. Yeah, I would just like to make the point when he says that he doesn't want Striker or I speaking for black people, that's fine. Neither of us are claiming to. What we are proposing is a solution though that would be, that has been endorsed by black leaders in the past and would be preferential or would result in a better situation for blacks. And I would also make the point that this does not only apply to criminal justice, but this applies to economics as well. We saw the study recently of Amazon Workplaces and this was released that the more racially diverse in Amazon Workplace is. This is not true. I went over this data on stream, everything you're about to say is completely misinformation. You did your study about this, I'm sure. Amazon did its own study. No, I just, wait, wait, wait, no, no, no. I didn't do my own study. I just looked it there because Amazon's internal data found that more diverse workplaces are less likely to unionize. And so if you're interested in the well-being of blacks and economic well-being as a part of that, then, right, well, obviously. He isn't. He wants to impose his own gay liberalism on other people and what don't like.  Oh, God. He's basically an imperialist, actually.  He has some, you basically, yes. Liberal, gay, imperious, liberal. Yep. Wait, have they called me Jewish this debate or is that another debate?  Hey, just to clear it up. I want to impose my world view, my European oriented world view, which is what liberalism is. So I went over this because I saw. On people that don't want it around the world. That's what you said. You don't care.  You don't care what people of color think about your god-awful world view. If you cared what people of color think, you wouldn't be citing like incredibly niche positions inside their community.    You want to talk niche issues. That's what you guys think. He actually can't stick to a topic. Wait, I'm sorry, moderator, if I may. I just because out of the responsibility to the audience. So I didn't like do a study on that Amazon article. I just read the article, which Vincent James, who was the person who I saw that through, didn't bother to do. The racial diversity was one of 12 characteristics associated with being less likely to unionize. And one of the reasons that was posited is because whole foods with greater racial diversity tend to be in larger cities, which have larger amounts of racial diversity and larger cities tended to have, you guessed it, higher minimum wages, which means that there was less of an economic incentive for those groups to unionize. In fact, a follow-up study that I looked at showed that racial minorities were actually more likely to push for unionization in many industries. So everything that he just said about that was completely wrong. Again, all I had to do was look like past that. Well, that's fine, but actually, I actually have a study. Hold on. I want to... We're at a lot of points, so we've got a... We're not fully lying about what's going on. Then come back. We've put studies on a pedestal in this debate, and that's fair. So here is a study you stand in the university. Racial diversity and union organizing in the US in 1999 through 2008. Quote, from the app, the introduction. Does racial diversity make it hard to form a union? Most work by industrial relations scholars. Sales and Strauss, 1953. Dunlop, 1958. Labor sociologists. Nelson, 2001. Kloss in 2003. Pantasia and Vos, 2004. Lichtenstein, 2002. Presumes that it does. So the body of work on unionization... Sure, Lincoln. Sociology? I'll take a look. Backs up our position, which is that diversity... I'll give you that diversity... That disagrees with the information that I have seen, but please do, Lincoln, I'd be impressed with that. So please, Lincoln. Next. Thanks for... Let's see. Wait, actually, wait. I'm curious. I actually wait. For what change you said, I'm really curious. Why were unions less likely to form? People of different races have less in common and are thus less likely to create a union. That's a historical reality. Wait, okay. I thought it was funny because I just looked it up. It's funny you didn't read the rest of your abstract. So the study finds that more diverse establishments are less likely to see successful organizing attempts. Little evidence is found, however, that this is because workers are less interested in voting for unions. Instead, the organizers of more diverse units are more likely to give up before such elections are held. Furthermore, this higher... Why do they give up? Wait, let him finish. This higher quit rate can be explained best by considering that other organizations involved in the organizing drive. In particular, employers are more likely to be charged with unfair labor practices when the union in question is more racially diverse. This effect persists when the study controls for heterogeneity among industries, unions, and regions. Crazy! So a more diverse workplace maybe doesn't find it necessary to unionize.    I know that feeling. I've been there before. It happens every now and then. Still like that study, though. What you're doing... What you're doing is, one, you're contradicting the body of work that has been done in the subject, which, by the way, you should look right there. Right, and you can look at the body of work that supports that... Maybe you should cite the body of work, then, instead of the abstract. Secondly, that is an inference they're making based on the data they find, which, by the way, demonstrates that more diverse workplaces find it more difficult to unionize. Because they don't need to. You think that more diverse workplaces don't need to unionize? That's what your abstract claims. I don't know if that's true or not, but that's what your abstract claims. The relevant thing we're debating here is that more diverse places have less union organizer. That's the only thing we need to learn. The diversity. We must move on to the next one. I'm trying to remember who that one was for, that last one. I think it was for Striker and Alsup. It's hard to tell sometimes, isn't it? Short and pithy last word from you guys. You can, and then we'll go to this last one for the night. Right, okay. So, Vosch would say that he said this. He said that the reason why there's less union organizing is because of racism. Well, let's pretend that's true. It's still a reality.  That's the reality. He's saying it's because he doesn't get along with blacks. He can't imagine anyone else can. I know more black people in YouTube. That's what the study finds. That's what they find. Diversity causes problems in unionizing. No more blacks than you do, destiny. We must go to the next one. So sorry, folks. There are a lot of superchats we won't get to. Really, we tried to get through as many as we could. Dave Riley Media, last one, says, Thanks for providing a platform for this debate. Thanks so much. Appreciate that. And thanks, especially to the debaters. You need a thanks, I think. I'm thanking you. The debaters are the lifeblood of the channel. They make it fun, so we could not thank them enough. So thanks, Dave. Why isn't anyone talking about Tony Martin's claim that Jews were over-represented among slave owners in the US and the slave trade? Because it's not true. I specifically looked at a debunk of this.  No, Jews are not over-represented in the slave ownership. That was a black scholar that did that. Black scholars can be nutters.  Only Jews and white liberal scholars are right here. Are you saying only white people can be nutters? That's very anti-white of you, my friend. I'm saying that there's institutional incentives to prove that. I've gone over the data. It's complicated, but it's literally just dishonesty. White people were also enslaved by Jews in the Ottoman Empire. We have plenty of data on that. We're jumping all over the place now. Actually, a white person was once brutalized by African men in the Roman Empire. Anywhere from 5 to 10 million slaves taken by the Ottomans along the Slavic routes.  It's about the oppression of whites. The thing is that the Ottoman Empire is very closely tied to the current US justice system in the United States. The judges came over. We are discussing slavery in this question. We were talking about Jewish slavery with regards to the percentage they made up of American slaves. Which has nothing to do with the claim made. It is literally nothing to do with the claim made. I will show you a pattern of Jews internationally running the slave trade from the Dutch East Indies. I should not have read this question because it's really not about anything close to the debate topic. So that was my fault. Want to say, with that, we will wrap up. Want to say, folks, thanks so much for hanging out with us today. We really do hope you feel welcome. We want to both give a platform to people from all walks of life but also welcome the audience in terms of people from all walks of life. We are excited as Sargon will return. He will be debating Brenton sometime next week. Hopefully we will see you for that. Hit a subscribe. Give the old subscriber a click if you want a reminder of that one. Is that going to be a good one? Want to say one last thanks so much to Destiny Bosch, and thank you also for being with us tonight. That was a wild one. Good time as always. The other guys would have prepared for the actual debate material but this is a fun screening. My main problem is that it's infinitely easier to discuss these issues absent these perspectives. I have a feeling that people like Striker and Alsup have no actual interest in examining any of these topics of discussion and are more interested in reciting their stat lists.  All right, you got it through. As I said, so that he just said right there had nothing to do with what I just said. It's like an NPC in a video game. He has a very small list of pre-recorded responses that he defers to when he's confused or upset. I think this is a good synopsis. A good encapsulation of tonight's experience which is a lot of snark, a lot of personal attack but not a lot of willingness to discuss solutions. So even if one were to concede we even if one were to concede what their supposition that there is widespread bias in the criminal justice system against blacks which is debatable, of course. You then need to discuss what the solution to that would be. Again, this is like standing by the side of your car on the highway if your tire is blown up and then just standing there frozen not being willing to discuss what to do next. Like we can't change the tire that's not part of the discussion. Isn't Destiny the one to always comment solutions? What about the solutions? The problem is it's like our tire is going flat on the side of the road and one of you guys is like actually I think the engine fell out of the car and you can't come to an agreement on what the problem even is. You can see the engine right there in the bed but they're like, I don't know. The debate right now is what is wrong with the car not how do we fix the problem with the car. You have to identify what the problem is first. I think the biggest mistake that me and Raj made was really funny because we had a conversation like two weeks ago where we were like there's like widespread consensus that black people face discrimination even when you control for all other factors and we were trying to think of like well what angle of attack are they going to go and I think that I think we generally agree that they were probably going to see the argument immediately and try to move to this culture argument which is like half-true.  You guys are more predictable. We did overprepare. I did overprepare. That's on me. That's my fault.  Yeah PDFs are cool when we do it but not when you do it stats are fine when we do it we do studies studies are fine when we do it but not when you do it by the way you're stupid by the way you're dumb actually I'm going to say the studies on both sides are going to show me a study that Sunday fall Saturday show me a study that Washington D.C. is the capital of America show me a study data blah blah blah you can't you can't find you're offended at the idea that's why if we debate with black people they will see and not have these dumb pedantic disadvantage little ways of avoiding the actual issue. You're here to avoid the issue and keep the pressure on whitey. I'll see my time virtue signaling to other white people that's it. I'll see if I may because I defer again I'll see my time after this I just want to say you two are at your best alone or with other people who agree with you because it is painfully obvious who actually has a better understanding of these issues when you come into conflict with people who disagree with you.  We don't have social media. We strongly suggest you stick to your own circles. I have the only reason I block someone on social media is because people in the antiphosphore sphere of things, i.e. your sphere will just I thought I was a liberal. Yeah, you are. Antifa is a liberal organization. Okay. You know what the iron front symbol means? One of them is anti-communism. You didn't know that? The three arrows? I don't even know. Look into that. Yeah, you don't even know what that is, sure. So the point is that like you guys have a little weird group of like 14 year olds that watch people play video games on the internet they're going to do whatever you say but the point is that it doesn't mean you're right okay we have truth on our side that's one of your audiences that are going to make up the best of the genetics. This is the six-figure salary what are you some kind of each year or something there? What are you some kind of survival of the fittest each year in destiny? Because I doubt you'd win that one. I just think it's funny. To let everybody go and have the rest of their night, we will we'll say goodbye. So thanks so much folks. It's been a wild one and also forgot to mention we're excited as for the first time Christie Winters will be here this Friday debating feminism that should be interesting and then tomorrow Erica and I will co-mod a debate on creationist genetics so that should be interesting and so with that I want to say thanks to our guest though it's always a wild one so thanks they are linked in the description folks if you want to hear more and keep lifting out the reasonable from the unreasonable take care everybody


Fleet Week Los Angeles comes to a close as sailors and marines attached to USS Wayne E. Meier and USS America bid farewell. Over the course of a week, the ship's crew provided tours to the public, sharing sea stories, and demonstrating how maritime forces support national defense and freedoms of the seas. Never seen before in Osprey, so on the deck there of the USS America, they had one. So I was like, well, close interaction. So it's perfect. That was an excitement for me. Personally, that was the excitement and the highlight. Los Angeles Fleet Week celebrated and honored the sea services while giving the community a chance to interact with sailors and marines. A lot of people just didn't know what the military do, what goes on in the ships, and what goes on in the military period or in law enforcement or in the fire department. Just giving them interaction and just more knowledge and information so they can be more aware of what's going on. For more information on Fleet Week Los Angeles, visit Navy.mil.


Having to deal with constant changes, misunderstandings and uncertainties. But I still love it. Why? I get to make clear and tangible impact. I get to learn new things every single day. My work actively improves lives. Don't you agree that
