 Let's pop out the chat, and where's that pop up about, and welcome, everyone, to another live stream. Today is June 22nd, 2019, and today's live stream is an open discussion on education beyond the propaganda, how to work the system. That's what I titled the stream, and that's what we've been titling these educational streams, because basically our current centralized education system for, as far as I know in the Western world anyway, Canada, United States, and certain people I've met have worked with from Europe. It is, they are, or the system is, an indoctrination center. There is useful information to be had, must be had, but there's also a lot of programming that goes on during the 12 years of high school, elementary and high school education, and it continues almost post-secondary education and whatnot, right? So we're here just to open up the platform, and just talk about this. I know with my students, and we talk about this a fair bit, you know, they have questions, they wanna know why they should be studying something that they're studying specifically with me, wouldn't be mathematics, physics, sciences in general, and I always emphasize to my students that there's basically two things that they have to excel in, in school. One of them is the language of mathematics, right? You have to be literate in the language of mathematics, and the other one is, you have to be literate in your natural language. You have to be able to express yourself properly as a form of communication, right? Hello, Taco, good morning, how are you doing? Intrepid, good morning, my friend, good morning. Hope all is well, very well here, Intrepid, thank you very much. Enjoying this last weekend before that, end of the school year. Necklace, how's it going? Glad I got the stream, awesome, awesome. Hello from London, good morning, guys. Good morning, Mask of Raven. Mercenary, mercenary, how are you doing? Starsky, good afternoon, Chicho. How's life? Life is good, life is good. I like these early morning sessions, are you the truth? I get up in the morning and do my thing, I'm at breakfast, I make my tea, catch up on news, and then usually I just keep on going down the rabbit hole by 7, 7.30 a.m., so the live stream is now sort of a great way to deviate from going from the, stop myself from going down the rabbit hole and just open up the discussion and then do other things. I've missed the last few streams because I couldn't get up early enough. Mask of Raven, are you on the West Coast? Where are you at? Oops, where are you at? We're on the West Coast, it's 7 a.m., it's pretty early for Saturday morning. Most people aren't up this early on a Saturday, not if they can help it, right? For me, I can't help it, it's just the birds chirp and get up, right? But on that note, it's because I've been getting up really early for the last few weeks anyway, I'm going to bed fairly early, like 10, 10, 30, 11 o'clock, I'm crashing and burning, right? Just so you guys know, later on today, most likely I'm gonna release the live stream on, I have to think about this, right? Alberta, oh, you're only one hour ahead, so 8 o'clock, 8 o'clock is pretty early for Saturday, Mountain Standard Time, so it's 8 for me, yeah, yeah. I've lived in Alberta, Calgary for six months, and I've did a fair bit of work in Alberta during my geophysics years, right? So in the 90s, I was in Alberta a lot. I actually had the opportunity to, for geophysics work, they offered me the position to run the geophysics department in Alberta, in Calgary, and manage the geophysics for this multinational engineering environmental company. I turned it down, I like the West Coast lifestyle, right? They offered me a fair bit of money, but for me, it's not about the money, it's about the lifestyle, and my family was here. I love the ocean, I love the West Coast, and I love the temperate rainforest and stuff. Just for those of you watching, Alberta and BC are quite different in terms of terrain to a certain degree. Alberta's very flat, BC's mountainous, Alberta has its mountainous areas as well, right? And the demographics, the business structure, there's huge differences between Alberta and BC, huge differences, but we're Canadian, we bond together, right? The only place Alberta and BC we're in conflict right now is the pipeline going through. Albertans, or I wouldn't say Albertans, I would say the oil industry and the federal government of Canada wants to put the pipeline through, and residents of BC and anyone that really gives rats ass about the environment does not, they do not want the pipeline through, because guaranteed there will be oil spillages, I've done environmental work for 10 years, in the 90s, Pipelines leak, there will be contamination, and the West Coast of BC is very pristine, there used to be way more pristine than in Islam, but it was very pristine, and the tourism industry and stuff is very crucial for British Columbians, and oil tanker traffic, these gigantic oil tanker traffic, it'll be a disaster, right? As far as most, well, many BC residents are concerned. I'm enjoying in the hot 30 degrees Celsius, 86 degree Fahrenheit day, I'm in my shorts, and a wife being around me, nice talker. I don't like the, I never, you know what, those, I just call them tank tops, right? I never realize they call them wife Peters, I don't like that, that when I found out, that's what they used to call them, I'm like, oh man, what? Intrepid, I'm gonna go for a run, but hopefully you'll still be streaming when I get back, awesome, have a great run Intrepid, more power to you man, runs in the morning, I might be afternoon training right now. Yeah, have a nice run, Taco says, gearing up for 13 hour work day here, stateside 13 hours, yikes, what are you doing, Skywalker, it's a 13 hour work day, I know it could be nursing, doctors, who else does major 12 hour shifts, and all of our Albertans really want the pipeline, and screw the environment because the economic situation is bad here, yeah, and here's the kicker, unfortunately, Mask of Raven, when I was working at Alberta, I interacted with a lot of Albertans, over the last 10 years, in the 90s, for 10 years, I interacted with a lot of Albertans, and Alberta goes through booms and bus periods, right? All of it based on the price of oil and how the economy's doing globally, because if the economy's doing well, oil prices go up and stuff like that, and I try to talk to people and say, listen, divest from the oil industry, this is ridiculous, right? And in doing boom times, people spend a ridiculous amount of money, like really, it's insane, right? People have no concept of savings, and building a nest egg, and divesting from the oil sector, and stuff like this. I would talk to them and they'd say, oh, gee, Joe, you're out of your mind, this is never gonna end, blah, blah, blah, we've got lots of resources, I'm like, but this is not sustainable, not based on the economic cycle or environmentally. I mean, a lot of these people were working in the environmental field as well, right? It just couldn't get that going, right? And right now you see Saudi Arabia divesting, trying to divest from the oil sector, right? They're building tech world, and trying to build solar panels and stuff like this, and people really have to grasp what it means, these tar sands, and they are tar sands, they call them oil sands now, oil reserves and stuff. They're squeezing dirt with chemicals, and they're destroying the water, they're contaminating the water, squeezing earth to get oil out. We're very destructive. I went to some places in Alberta where we're doing mapping contaminant plumes, groundwater, plumes coming off of landslides, landfills, and brine pits, and where pipelines have the nodes where it's piping, it's destructive, and then people are, you know, cancer rates start going up, and you tell people, look, this is benzene, like you're getting benzene, and other chemicals filtering into your groundwater, and they're like, oh, it's not that bad. The government tells us it's not that bad. The corporation tells us it's not that bad. I'm like, wow, coffee is your friend, and your bathroom buddy, talking about coffee I heard, keeps you regular. There's nothing better than chilling outside on a nice sunny day, sipping on some gin and juice while lighting up a smooth indica, nice darski, indica, so you're just sinking into your landwisher, the patio, with your drinking hand. Did somebody say education? Education, Levia, how are you doing? How are you doing? Good afternoon to you. Good morning from my end, right? Policemen, I'm an active, I'm an activities coordinator, a resort, and we've got a lot of big groups coming in. This is a 12-hour starts, a skywalker. Skywalker was doing a 12-hour day, no. It was a skywalker that I read it. Yeah, it was skywalker, sorry, that's fair. So, 12-hour workday, I'm an activities coordinator, as a resort, and we've got a lot of big groups coming in wanting to do group team building, so I'm going to be very visited, wow. So it must be a lot of conglomerates, a lot of big corporations bringing in their department, whatever it is. The group building stuff I find interesting. I've been in some, not very many, because I try to stay away from those types of groups. With geophysics, you're very much solo, you're interacting with geophysics people and stuff like this. There were some fun aspects to it, but I felt that there was sort of a cult feel to some of the activities, with the chanting and the holding hands and all that jazz. Have you ever been to the Nunavut land? Dude, I used to be in the 90s before Nunavut, Northwest Territories was broken up into Northwest Territories and Nunavut. So before that happened in the 90s, I used to tell Canadians, anyone I met, that was like proud Canadian, we like that. Really, Canada is absolutely amazing, right? I used to tell people, and I was proud of this, I would say I've been to every territory in every province in Canada, right? And then they separated Northwest Territories into Northwest Territories and Nunavut. So one day I will go to Nunavut, okay? I've even been to Labrador, right? So I've been to Newfoundland, been to Labrador, but I haven't been to Nunavut. I will, at some point, and I'm very, very much looking forward to it. Blueberry, how are you doing? Good morning, Chico, how are you? Doing well, brother, doing well, thank you very much. Enjoying the end of the school year, right? And trying to organize myself to start releasing some stuff. You give yourself a, I don't know what that is. Hey, Chico, Martin, how are you doing? Sorry I'm late, got caught up watching your mint hanging video. The mint is actually, we've been having a heat spell here, heat wave, and the leaves of the mints are like two days away from being fully dried. The stems are gonna take another week at least to dry. Some of them were pretty thick stems, right? But the room smells really good, and the whole mint were all bunches like this, and they're all like little guys like this now, right, just hanging down. Nice harvest, I'll be doing more, I'll be doing more. The first group I've got coming is in a family reunion, so I'm sure that'll be, oh, nice. So it must be a large family. Family reunions would be amazing. Just the dynamics and the history behind all those people interacting, eh? Blueberry, Chico, I'm honestly panicking. I'm moving to Canada in 56 days. My student visa is not ready, and I have no possible way to contact them. Do you have no possible way of contacting the visa people? 56 days is a fairly, it's a month and a, two months almost, right? You should be able to contact the visa people to try to get confirmation if your visa's been approved. If not, you're coming from the States, you should be, I believe you're coming from the States, if I remember correctly. Or you're coming from Europe, are you coming from Europe? Oh man, I forget. You should be, there should be a way to contact the visa people. I'm not just putting your finger on you. Okay, the funky, doobie, 87, time out or down, my patience is short, right? Because of all the news events happening at the end of the year and whatnot. Band, we're banding brother, we're banding. Sorry, brother, are we banding? Okay, you laughed out loud, I'm gonna time out. So you got 600 seconds, brother. Hey, finals week are over. Celebrate my birthday yesterday. Hey, right on, you're right on the cusp, Olivia. Cusp of Gemini and what's that? What's the one after Gemini? I know August is Leo, or not August, July 21st to August 21st is Leo, what's between Gemini and Leo? Olivia, no sir, I'm coming from Island of Aruba, Aruba, Aruba. Lucky, you know what, I'm gonna, what's your time, so Aruba, I'm looking this up. I gotta get my geography more. You're south, yeah, okay, South America, Aruba. Ooh, there must be a way to contact them. There must be a way to contact them. The other way, Gemini Cancer, okay, you're right on the cusp of Gemini Cancer, Olivia, cool. Gemini, I'm a Gemini. Is it hot on Aruba? Must be, I'm guessing super hot on Aruba. Humid probably, hi Chucho, nice to catch you. I catch on your streams, one of your streams. Hey Mama Hari, how are you doing? Welcome to another stream. Hot but breezy during these times, cool. You're going to Toronto Blueberry, yeah? Longest day, birthday also, that's true. Yeah, the longest day of birthday. So one day, one year, Olivia, you should say we're having a birthday from dawn till dusk. See who's going to last, right? Have fun, or have a quick birthday, the shortest start from dusk till dawn. Prince poop, the next video I'm going to load up. Oh yeah, I was going to mention this. I have to think about this. We did a couple of live streams, last week's live stream on current events. I rewatched, there's some stuff there that I was like, not going to put on YouTube, going to put on YouTube, not going to put on YouTube. But then I'm most likely going to release it today on YouTube, last week's live stream on current events. That was before the downing of the drone by Iran and before so-called Trump ordered an attack and then pulled it back, right? So the live stream most likely that we did last week is going to be released today. And most likely two days from now, I'm going to release the one we did yesterday regarding current events and that was after the drone that had been brought down and stuff. The reason I'm loading both those on YouTube because it's important, okay. That was a little hesitant because of the censorship and all that jazz. We don't want to get flagged by the algorithms. But the war drums are pounding and this possible war, most likely these people are wanting war longer. It's important to have that out there. If we get flagged, we get flagged. Hold on tight. I intend to study engineering and perform music as well as stand-up comedy as a hobby. Ah, nice bluebird. You go to the right city. You're going to Toronto for what I remember. And Toronto has a lot of busters on the streets and stuff that are doing their thing. You can generate a little bit of money there. I think I'm pretty sure you need a permit to do it and the comedy clubs in Toronto are pretty good. So it should be interesting. I hope your visa comes through. Here in Bosnia, we have weak wind and dry air. So I have a few cups of water in my room as a humidity additive, really. Wow, Taco. Here in western BC, coastal BC, we're in a rainforest. So it's more on the humid side. It's great for storing cigars. Mine is 11th September, St. Martin. 11th September. So Leo, I don't know what the one is after Leo, she's going to try and copy your cuckoo recipe tomorrow. Nice, Nicholas. I hope you like. It's amazing, really. Cuckoos want the dishes I love making the most. Dante, how are you doing? And you can make it, Nicholas, you can make it with any greens you want. The lettuce, romaine lettuce and stuff gives it a nice crunch. Same with the green onions. If you end up putting green onions or romaine lettuce in there, it gives it a good crunch. The other herbs, greens that you can put in there, they break down easier. So they give it the squishy feel. Some people add a fair bit of oil, some people not. As you know with my cuckoos, sometimes I didn't add oil, sometimes I add a lot. If you make it in anything other than a cast iron, you're going to need oil. Teflon, I try not to use, but I know family members, I use it. So for Teflon, it doesn't need that much oil. It needs just enough as a cast iron plate. But if you make it in any other kind of pan that is non-non-sticky, that doesn't have that cast iron feel, Teflon feel, you're going to need a lot of oil. It does grip. If Trump wants to go to war with Iran, now's the time, because I don't know how close I'll be to Canada ever again in my life. I'll be, how close I'll be to Canada ever again in my life. Really, Skywalker. Yeah, I hope they don't. Really, it's a game changer. The world will change dramatically, dramatically. I used to be a busker. Is it a busker or a buster? I thought, a busker. I beat war drums in Washington. Nice, nice. I've had, I used to play drums, right? And I had a second kit that was like my racking kit, I guess, right? And during peace rallies before the Iraq invasion, I, in Canada, I attended peace rallies and I used to have my big drums on me. I also did that when Canada was qualifying for the World Cup. Cancer, Leo, Vertigo, Libra Scorpio, cool. So cancer, Leo, so cancer is now starting. Leo, Virgo, Libra Scorpio, cool. And then Sagittarius, I believe. I was going to use cast iron anyway. Cheers, bro. I'll let you know how it goes. Okay, awesome, awesome. Then Trump say he wants to talk now. He pulled similar stunts with North Korea. Yeah, but North Korea, North Korean Iran are pretty serious, but North Korea is isolated. It doesn't have its tentacles everywhere, right? Iran is connected. They're extremely well connected around the globe. The world diplomats on a level that very few countries have. So, Prince Boop is up. Threatened and start negotiations. Yeah, but man, he's surrounded by warmongers, Bolton. I mean, all of them, really. Neocones hardcore, so dangerous game. I like using cast iron because it gives food that rustic feel, yeah, I agree. And you can be rough with the pan all you want. And like saute pans, because they are opposite of cast iron, they're nice for making sauces and cooking meat, nice. Cast iron is awesome. I like making sauces and cast iron too when you cook stuff up and there's a little bit of sticky stuff in the bottom. Just pour a little bit of wine or oil or that sometimes a little bit of balsamic vinegar or oil in general and scrape off the, within reason, right? Just scrape off the bottom a little bit and you solidify this really good. That drum story is impressive. Had to be done, had to be done. I even have pictures of it, I think, somewhere. There's a girl on Twitch that is streaming from her job. Nice, I hope it's a good job. Loubert, in regards to the take contact part, the Immigration Call Center has two numbers, one for within Canada only and one for the disabled. They also have an email to which I've sent two emails and no response to either. My best option at this point is to take contact with any Canadian embassy considering what doesn't have any embassy here. Wow, aloha everyone, aloha red man, how are you doing? Yeah, maybe they sent the visas because if you're two months out, maybe it takes a while for the visas to be processed and they send it to you like a couple of weeks beforehand or something. Can you even get on a plane to come to Canada without a visa from a robot blueberry? I hate him when a girl bumps me when her zodiac signs don't match. Oh, really, you've had that happen? I haven't had it happen. I've had people say, oh, you know, might not get along or wow, it will get along great and we sometimes don't and sometimes people say we don't get along and then we get along, okay. Wonder how she doesn't get in trouble. Who's that? Well, if she's, no, maybe. She might have a, what do you call it, Dante? She might have an agreement with her work. Depends on the work, I guess. Maybe the work doesn't know. Iran will drag plenty of countries into a war. Yeah, Martin, yeah, agreed. On that note, you could just change the name Iran and say, Saudi Arabia, Israel and the US will drag plenty of countries into a war because it is, they are instigating this war. Everyone knows that, right? Sticky stuff is font. It's used to make as a starter for sauces or as a flavor booster, cool. Yeah, I use it, it's not a huge sauce I make. I make a little bit that I put on either meats that I've been cooking or something else, right? Or I just keep the sticky stuff in there and then I, after I move whatever I've been frying or whatnot, I add other things in there so they acquire the flavor of the main protein or whatever it might be. If she tells you that, ask her if your Venus and moon signs are in a trigon or a sextile. Levia knows the stuff. So, Levia knows the astronaut logo sign stuff really well. So let's read that again. So if someone you wanna go out with tells you your signs aren't compatible, Levia says this. If she tells you that, ask her if your Venus and moon signs are in trigon or sextile. I don't know what that would imply, but sounds cool, trigon or sextile. I'm assuming you want it to be in sextile. I don't know what that means, but I'll try. Oh, who cares if Iran gets nuclear weapons? They haven't started wars, used nuclear weapons or attacked their own citizens. First of all, Prince Poop, Iran doesn't, has said they don't want nuclear weapons. The Ayatollahs actually came out decades ago and said nuclear weapons are against Islam, their belief system. That being said, if they get pushed further and further, we're gonna see things off. I'm off for a sec. Okay, Levia. I can get on a plane. I would have to fill out and purchase an ETA form. Okay, as long as you could come here, I guess you could go and sort out your visa. I just don't know how long an ETA get me. However long you need to go get your paperwork in order. Bitch, hello. Hello, bitch. I like that name. That's the easiest name ever for those. Racer kill. Imagine if Iran had drones flying a few kilometers off the coast of U.S. Yeah, you have to hear it, my brother. Songs don't reveal anything, you fool. Trust me. No. You're telling me Trump's been the lizard person this whole time? Ah, Skywalker, I don't know if Trump's been a lizard person, but he is definitely in control. He is controlled by the lizard people, if you wanna think about him that way. It's called BC Boy, avocado honey, BC. It's very secret. It's very secret. Okay, BC Boy. Oh, I think this guy is just advertising his music, possibly Dante. No, I'm not a bot, just broke. Are these guys bots that dilute reasonable political conversation online? There's a lot of people. One thing I've noticed too, just with trolls and people trying to get on the social network scene and promote their stuff. There's a lot of people that join other groups, participate in other things. There's people that are liking my tweets and I check out, I don't tweet very much, the Twitter stuff, but there are times where I see people liking my tweets and then I check them out and they're just liking thousands, tens of thousands of tweets and trying to get people's attention. So I look them up and some are just marketing people, some are real estate people and stuff like that. So people are just trying to get on the radar somehow. I think what they need to realize is you just have to believe in what you're doing and just keep on doing it. I haven't had this for 14 years now. That's a long time. When did the Goron ever say anything about uranium-235 and using an explosion to make vaporizing blasts that can cook a cow in less than a second and shower fallout to everything? It's not the Goron, right? It's the interpretation of the Goron, just like the interpretation of the Bible or the interpretation of the Toron or whatever it is, right? I don't know the logistics of it, but basically for one understand, any weapon of mass destruction that kills people indiscriminately is considered to be according to their interpretation against the word of God, whatever your interpretation of God is, right? So it's not about uranium-235, like the Torah, the Bible, the Old Testament, New Testament, the Goron and stuff, have very little to say about technology, right? They have things to say about control mechanisms, for sure, how to control masses of people. And in large part they try to deal with morality and stuff like this, but it's becoming sad. You know how, if you've been here, you know how I feel about those centralized religious institutions. So don't talk to these idiots referring to organizations or lizards. They are either bots or intelligent people. No, you could put it that way. They could be bots, puppets, I'd like to call them. Just throw them out. The United States needs to end the education system being education talk, right on. Let's talk education. We're 30 minutes in and we're talking about education, yay. Education system being funded by property taxes. It's just another way to keep the poor poor and try to keep them within a certain caste. And to a certain degree, touring news, I agree with you, right? There's a lot of people, when you see apartments and houses becoming available in parts, in regions where the school system is considered to be really good, then what you see is bidding wars taking place. In the US, I knew, I know this was happening. Apartment complexes would be available near a school zone, near in a zone where all the kids from that zone are supposed to go to this one school which has high standards, right? So people would be fighting, outbidding each other, trying to get into that apartment to send their kids to the school. So that's one of the things control mechanisms put into place. Me, actually, I don't know. Never thought I'd hear you say, bitch. The only reason I know how to say it is I've had friends that have used that over the years, a lot, back in the 90s, really. I followed you because you're my favorite Twitch streamer now, awesome. Glad to have you here, man. I'm glad you're enjoying the streams. If it doesn't take 30 minutes to get on topic, it's not a proper cheat draw this journey. That's a great one, yeah. So the education system, the centralization, the ways control is horrendous, right? And as soon as you have central, one of the things I wanna emphasize, very much got centralization as you know, right? Centralization of anything. One of the reasons I'm against centralization is because it's easier to manipulate. It's easier to control the system once the power has been centralized, right? So if there's synergy between all the different departments, right? And all of that synergy goes towards one centralized location and the centralized location dictates what all those different departments need to do, then if you wanna corrupt the system, all you have to do is hit the core, right? Once you hit the core, you can control everything, right? Which is basically one of the things that cryptocurrencies and blockchain technologies trying to do is decentralize everything. So there is no core, right? Which is the opposite of what Facebook and some of these tech companies in Silicon Valley are trying to create. They're calling them crypto coins or whatever, but they're digital wallets, digital currencies, and they're centralized. So there is a whole battle going on right now. In our world, political economic education on almost every front food, energy, and all this jazz that is trying to decentralize our current political economic system while there are powers that are trying to even make it more centralized, right? I am pro decentralization in a big way. And that includes our education system. Our education system has to be completely decentralized now. It's beyond repair. In Canada, United States, anyway. I want to give you positivity now. Thanks. Absolutely. Control mechanisms are necessary, necessary. Control mechanisms are necessary. I disagree. In large part, what kind of control mechanisms do we need? And so our poor people get real... I think the education system here in the UK needs an overall. I work in high school and staff still haven't realized that shouting and yelling at kids only gets them to hate school more. They shout and yell at kids. I enjoy the traditional speak to people, how you want, how you would like to be spoken to, agreed. Start treating the kids with some respect. And I wonder how much of a change you would see huge bomb, kiss bomb. It would be huge. Like, I don't yell at my students. I don't think I've ever, I might have raised my voice to my students once when I had a group of people, a couple of people, but very rare and I regret. I'm pretty sure I have at least once, maybe once, most twice. I don't even think twice, maybe once, but I regretted it. The way kids need to be treated is basically like adults plus some filters, right? Treat them like adults, like they control their own lives, their own destiny. Add the filters you need to add. I do, depending on what the mental capacity of the kids are, but I try to put the weight on them, give them responsibility for their own education, right? That way when things go bad and they try to blame someone else, you say, no, no, no, no, you didn't do it. It's okay, take it easy, you can start it again, right? A school run by kids, great. It would be great, the truth, principle. A school run by kids would be phenomenal. Really, I would, I don't work for any school centralized school system, but if there was a school run by kids, I'd volunteer or work for them. But for real now, not a bot, just a wrapper, let's try to make it. Hey, Chichou, how do you break your fast? I fasted three, four times in my life. Three times I broke it differently. One time I went to a Lebanese restaurant, ate Lebanese food and drank double beautifulls. Don't do that. Actually, it was amazing sensation. One time I broke it very slowly, just a little bit of porridge and stuff over a couple of days and that's a good way of doing it, bringing your system back online. Another time, which was an insane, amazing experience, I broke it with entheogens. I don't recommend if you do not know what it is, what it entails. If kids don't like school, tough luck, they deserve the poverty that will follow. I disagree, Prince Poop. Because one of the obvious problems with that is, we're not an island onto ourselves. If the system, if we do not take care to make sure future generations are educated and taken care of, that's gonna come and bite us on the ass through crime and turmoil and mental health issues and all kinds of stuff, right? I like a hand, I like on hand experience learning than reading because it makes us use our body and when we do something, remember that and we can use that later. For sure, that's one style of learning taco and it depends what you're learning. There are certain things you need to learn, you need to read books, full-on books to be able to learn them because they're ideas connecting each other. There are, the number of books that are like that are the good ones anyway, they're few and far in between but considering how many books are out there, but if you find books that you can learn from when you read them, fantastic. Sometimes you can learn stuff by reading just articles and stuff like this and doing examples other times, hands on, right? Spot of T, how are you doing? I agree entirely with the education system, yeah, this is regarding the UK education system. Positive reinforcement is one of the most important things ever and teachers don't realize it. It's insane how much pressure we put on students at such a young age. I agree with you Spot of T, it's horrendous. Also, hey Chichou, hi Spot of T. I was educated in the UK military school system when I returned to the UK main schooling, the education was so far behind, it's more to do with the structure of the education, I think, or better yet, speak to the kids the way they should be spoken to. A lot of these kids come from non-perfect households and don't know how it feels to be loved, appreciated, and cared for. If you give them these things in education settings, they'll be better off as a result. A great Skywalker, 100% and so will our society. So will our society, right? May have explained that poorly. So look up the platinum rule if you're all confused. Skywalker, I think we talked about, is the platinum rule or silver rule what you were saying Skywalker? The golden rule is treat others the way you want to be treated. Silver rule is don't treat others the way you do not want to be treated. What would the platinum rule be? 100% agree. We need every type of control mechanism possible, especially now because the automation revolution is about to reduce wages and increase unemployment massively. People have no idea what's coming. I agree, Prince, that people have no idea what's coming. I disagree with the control mechanisms. I think we need more freedoms instead of more control. Spot of tea, pa-pa-pa-pa. But yeah, it wasn't until I got into A-level that I started to feel less terrified of my teachers. And even then there's a very controlling regime that just piles the pressure on. Once again, so early. Oh, Nick, so early, oh, Nick. You're two hours ahead, right, oh, Nick? Not bad, not bad. 9.45. Later on this week, most likely Wednesday or something, I'm gonna put up a live stream, most likely during the day. And I wanna read some excerpts from Willem Reich's mass psychology of fascism. I've highlighted some excerpts that I've been meaning to tweet. But I might do the tweeting before we do the live stream. I don't know, Wednesday, Thursday. I'm gonna set up more live streams during the day. So you don't have to get off so early, Nick. How would you feel if a teacher traumatized you and made you feel worthless than nothing? How old a message? I'm youth and I actually hit my school. I have been accused of, but can't write the actual word at the age of 13. At the age of, I'm gonna let AutoMod as part of the permitted term. Okay, Spotify approved it, they're cool. Thanks, Spotify, thanks, Spotify. So many issues in education are driven. By the way, I don't wanna keep on saying your name, right? Cause I laugh when I say it. But stay away from bureaucracy, stay away from conflict in the centralized education system. The more you push back to a certain degree, and if you come across people that have issues, that have been given a little bit of power and they enforce that power, like tyrants, you might have problems, right? If you're an education system, get the job done, right? You're there to make sure you're getting good marks. Learn what you need to learn. Do your time, right? Consider it being in jail. Do your time, get the most out of it and get out and then figure out what you wanna do. So many issues in education are driven by inequality. Poor schools and poor districts can't educate anyone. It only perpetuates poverty. They're great automatic, very much so. And it's, what it is is a cycle as well, right? It's not about the immediate, the kids in the school. Most likely their parents went through the same systems. So their parents have the same issues as the kids now, as well as their grandparents and so on and so forth. So when you're trying to teach mathematics, if a kid doesn't have any help at home where they can bounce off ideas and talk about their problems that they're trying to solve, they're stuck. If they don't have the resources that their disposal may be tutoring centers or high-speed internet or just internet in general to be able to find videos to help them out, they're stuck. That's it, they're not progressing anymore until they get that major issue resolved, right? So this has been in the works for decades and decades and decades, this centralization of education. That is what it's bred and created. We have to put a stop to that. Automation isn't going to increase unemployment. If factory workers are getting replaced with robotics, then there's going to be a need for technicians and engineers. Purps, it is going to decrease unemployment, okay? Off the get-go it is, until people get retrained. The problem with what you're saying is the workforce is not there to go technical. There are millions of people that are working jobs, that are going to be automated, that don't have the education to be able to lift themselves up to a higher level of employment, right? They're going to be left behind. So automation for sure is going to increase employment, decrease unemployment, unemployment rate's going to go up, okay? At least for the short-term, short-term on a global, on a country-wide scale, we're talking next five to 10 years, okay? And then through reeducation and stuff like this, we might see employment kicking up again, okay? But for sure, there's no doubt that it's going to reduce employment for the short-term. Teachers don't realize how much of a psychological effect they have on their students. Spot-of-tea, I would say there are teachers that do. School is a huge part of the child's development. That, I agree with 100%. And I've come across teachers that do appreciate how they are affecting kids, right? But there are few and far, far between. They're not the majority of teachers that I've come across, right? I think teachers initially have a great intention, but I think the system wears them down. Anyone that goes into teaching education in general, majority of them have good intentions. They just don't appreciate what the system is and how it's going to grind them down. Okay, guys, I'm going to head out for work. See you all in 13 hours, see you later, Scott Walker. Hope you have a fantastic time with the family. See you guys. Adios, adios lyricist. I would feel traumatized. Anybody feel free to listen to my music, though? Just search up, I see you, boy, anyway. Have a good day, everybody. Good day to you as well. It's exam month at the moment and it's bizarre to me. 200 kids crammed into a hall in silence, expected to regurgitate information they'll likely forget in six months. This isn't prepping them for life, no. And they're gonna forget the information they're putting onto the paper, most likely within hours they forget it. Even as soon as it's put on paper, they forget about it, right? Most part, most of it anyway. Well, I was traumatized and fell behind school and no one cared. So I just did my best and the government screwed me over. Yeah, taco, you're not alone. Waban, how are you doing? Man, today's topic hits home. Right now in my school, my students decided to occupy, occupy as part of a students' union. So I'm missing classes and it's gonna delay everything. It's complete BS, that's crazy. It sucks, right? But it is, like I can't blame people for demonstrating against our current education system. May it be sitting in places and stuff like this, but also that's not the solution. The solution is to create alternative systems to the centralized education system and help out the community, right? This machine that is just churning, right? It's not gonna get fixed until it completely shuts down, which it's in the process of doing right now. So in a country full of guns and unemployed people, USA, you want less control mechanisms? Yes, 100% principle, less control mechanisms. Give people the freedom to live their lives, educate themselves, connect with their peers, build organizations, institutions, local centers where people can come together and educate each other and work together and to build, right? One of the reasons we don't see these types of activities on mass in every community where the kids have a center to go to to do their homework and stuff like this is because of licensing, is because of regulation, is because of control mechanisms, right? If you want to set up a center where kids can come and do homework and stuff like this, you need permits and stuff like this. Just to give you an example on the extreme front, in the States, there have been kids that are selling lemonade in their neighborhood by the side of the street where the police pull up and ask the kids if they have a license to sell lemonade, then the kid says, what, license? And then they shut down the lemonade stand, right? Is that the type of control mechanism you want? For sure, I'm taking it to the extreme, but we need less control mechanisms. 100% sounds unfortunate. I wasn't quite sure about that one, but it didn't seem that malicious. Yeah, the lyricist, no, he wasn't malicious. He was just trying to get his word out, right? His name out. People are hard, people are struggling, man. They need, they have passions, they want to share, they want to create. And, you know, I'm all for that, I'm all for that. Sounds like a recipe for disaster. Yeah, Martin, I agree. More control mechanisms. Huge recipe for disaster. Matt, girl, hello, how are you doing? It is a disaster already, and the real unemployment has only just begun. Learn online, computing electronic skills right now or become irrelevant. I disagree that it's just computing and electric skills. You have to learn not to become irrelevant. There's many things you can learn not to become irrelevant, right? Forgive me, you're right. It's time for a change before it's too late for the next generation. Okay, I'm gonna read Speedy Gonzales, try to catch up. I had an exam system in my elementary school where I had to cram nine years of elementary into a five test, and I failed because I didn't have the memory capacity. 80% of the kids didn't make it, or cheated, and when I finished the test, I was told that my score was too low, and I was told that I didn't get the right to go to college or a good high school. That's unfortunate, unless I paid the government to repeat four years of high school, so I chose to go private schooling. Okay, private schooling is definitely an option, Toco, for sure. I've been reading Ethics of Ambiguity. It's basically an ethics based on freedom. There's a lot to it, but you should act in a way where you make choices that will increase your freedom. You do this by not denying your freedom and helping others realize their freedom, either by giving them an economic system that will allow them to realize this or by helping break them from a distorted view they might have of themselves since we're all connected. When you choose to be free, you help others to be awesome, awesome. I gotta read your name. Padra, Padra, Padra, Padra, Padra. Padra, Padra, Padra, Padra. Thanks for that Padra, and I agree with that, right? More freedom for yourself and help others to acquire more freedom. It's scary that so many people have no idea that are about to become irrelevant. Next time you go out, look at the people around you who can't use computers or phones. Humanity is splitting into the relevant and the irrelevant. Prince Boop, from my interaction with youth, everybody knows how to use the computer and phones better than the generations before them, right? So this is just the transition period we're seeing. The elderly, sure. You're gonna see a few people that are gonna be left behind, but if they're not taking the time to learn the computer or whatever it is, learn technology, then maybe they're set, they're comfortable in their own ways. No one says that they have to participate in this disruptive innovation, technological evolution that's taking place, right? They don't, right? Everybody doesn't have to be tech-savvy. Everybody doesn't have to be online, okay? So that's a fallacy that if you're not online, you're lost, you're gonna be left behind, you have no future, complete fallacy, okay? However, there are going to be people that are going to lose their jobs due to automation and there's gonna be a serious amount of unemployment coming up. That's why there's a lot of talk about basic income and stuff like this, right? And the safety now and whatnot. Have a good stream. Schmiggle, as we say in Germany. Thanks, thanks, major, I guess jurors for Germany, met Germany, slightly off topic, but will there be any gaming streams this summer, Chichot? Nicholas, if I can get my act together, I'll try. I've, I'm trying to bring my gaming group here to do a monopoly session again or an access and analyze session. I'm trying to bring my grandma here to play backgammon again. And I'm gonna do a couple of more gaming videos, but I don't know if I'll be able to get my video gaming gear set up so we can play video games. I can do, start doing what you're supposed to be, not supposed to be doing, but what Twitch was set up for, what? Which is a gaming live stream. We'll see where I can take it, right? You can put pressure on these who are paid to develop better systems. Oh yeah, I did have some fantastic teachers and I understand that the system is incredibly flawed and grinds them down, but personally, in my school at least, I definitely had some teachers who were far more focused on their own interests than the students' interests. Yeah, spot of tea, I feel you. I've come across some horrendous teachers not only when I was going to school, but through my interaction with my students, right? And the number of good teachers in the system, in my area anyway, has been decreasing. There's less and less good teachers. It just is what it is, right? I'm not trashing the teaching profession or anything like this. I'm just from my experience. I do agree with the general general advice of get in school, get steady, and get out. Nothing more. Waban, 100%. Get in there, learn what you need to learn. Get out, right? Realize that you're gonna be wasting a little bit of time because if we're gonna force you to learn crap or they're indoctrinating you, just realize what's happening and learn what you need to learn, right? And the older you get, if you continue this at the beginning, the older you get, there's less garbage you're gonna have to deal with and more brilliance that you're gonna encounter, right? I think board games marathon is in the pipeline. I'm trying. Gijo. One, how are you doing? Thank you for the subscribe. By the way, if I'm missing it, thank you for the subscribes. Thank you for the follows. Okay. Mainly keeping my eye on the chat, trying to catch up with the stream and read comments and stuff like that. At least automation will likely force the United States to establish a satisfactory welfare net. So many people will be out of work and I don't see many ways the government could deal with it besides some kind of universal income, maybe automatic. And the universal income for me is not, it might be a temporary bandage, a band aid on a serious problem, but it's not the ultimate. Solution to what's happening. It might get us past the hump with huge unemployment, but the universal income, what it's going to do is gonna increase the rate of inflation for basic stuff, right? And people, finance is not taught properly in school, so people are gonna know how to manage their finances. So in the long run, if it continues for a long period of time, it's gonna be more problematic, I think. I have my staff take courses on a regular basis to keep them up to date, up to data on competitive in the job market. Awesome, Mark. Yeah, that's good. And you're managing the bar, right? Awesome, you're doing that, man. Awesome, you're doing that. Automation will force the government to fund and propagate trade schools. I hope so. My idea for math class is that it should be more fluid. Out of 30 kids in class, 10 kids are ahead and aren't reaching their potential. 10 kids are left behind and get lost. If you miss a week, you're screwed. I think it should be more personalized. Some kids are going to be slower or faster. Keep them in this mold. Maybe more tutors, less teachers. Padre, I agree. The one solution to this, smaller class sizes, right? So one thing you could do is have a hierarchy system of education. You could have an instructor, I guess, if you wanna call it that, giving the lesson to, let's say, 100 people, right? Let's make the numbers easy. 100 people, right? And then the second tier education, so one hour of lesson. And then, I'm behind and not people don't understanding stuff like this, is smaller class sizes, which is what you inferred here, which is personalized, right? I live to see a team member move on to a promotion or more skilled position in the company. Awesome, Martin, awesome. And one thing happens is, Martin, one thing I've, I've managed some people when I was doing geophysics, right? Groups of people in the field doing the stuff. You treat your employees well. You have them for life, right? Either as employees or as clients or as friends. You build bonds that won't be broken because you were there for them when they needed you, right? You played a part in them fulfilling their dreams, right? I wish more people really understood this and what Martin is, what Martin's saying. Support your employees, support your family, support your friends, because that's the way you build your bonds. Basic income seems dumb. Short-term solution for a serious major problem. It's not the end all. Monopoly would be awesome. Monopoly, I would love it. Man, I'm trying to get them come. Teach your gaming streams would be amazing. I go off, I get lost in gaming. I love it, I'll make, I generally think math could be taught way faster. I think most pre-high school students can learn almost everything. I agree, I'll make. Really, all of, up to grade 12 mathematics in my part of the world, which takes you to pre-calc and you know, it's not very advanced. All of that stuff, what you learn in my area in grade 12 could have been taught to kids in grade eight, right? You got to start at elementary school, teach them, teach them, teach them. By grade eight, nine, they could have learned everything they had learned that took them 12 years to learn in nine years, eight or nine years, okay? It's way too slow. Kids lose interest. Kids right now, their processing speed is speedy gonzales. They're wired to process data. Really, way better than I was, right? Way better than generations two decades ago, right? Mathematics is processing data. Math can be taught to kids right now rapidly, really rapidly. You could be teaching kids calculus in grade 11, right? And hardcore statistics in grade 11 and 12. Just imagine a school system where you're teaching that level of mathematics in grade 11 and 12. You've built it up there. You just created people that are independent, intelligent, can decide their own future and contribute back in society. Why aren't we doing this? Why aren't we doing this? Whoa, I love your grandma on your fine, oh, you're fine, bro. I didn't mean consoles. I meant backgammon. Okay, awesome, Nicholas. Yeah, man, if I can't bring my grandma here for a backgammon live stream, I'm gonna go see her for her birthday, 92nd birthday in August, okay? And if I can't bring her here to visit me for in August, maybe after her birthday or pre-birthday, I don't know, then I might take my gear to where my grandma is and figure out if one of my family members has high-speed internet the way we have right now that I can live stream on and set it up there on live stream. I don't know, I'll see. I'll see what I can do. Thank you for subscribing. Cocoa, oka, oka, oka one, tata, especially today with the information age with sites like Khan Academy and Korsky. Yeah, I agree. I'm chicho, don't forget chicho. I've been the most ahead in class and one of the most behind, both were frustrating. Oh man, one of the most frustrating things is sitting in class and they're teaching something that you learned two years ago, right? And you're sitting there going, this is boring, right? What's the topic mean by how? What's the topic mean by how to work the system? I don't quite understand. How to work the system is basically understand this. Our current centralized educational system is basically for elementary school and high school is basically set up like a prison, right? You go there, you do your time, right? Don't get caught up in the politics. You realize that you're there. It could be an amazing experience as well, right? For many people, high school is not a good experience. For some, it's just a whatever experience. For others, it's an amazing experience, right? I've come across all types. To all of them I say this, listen, no matter if you're not having fun or you're having fun, realize that you're there to put in your time. Learn what you need to learn. Realize that you're being propagandized. You're being programmed by centralized institution. That everything that you're being told is not fact or true. However, there are things that you need to learn while you're going through the system. The two most important are mathematics and your natural language. Reading and writing and the language of mathematics. If you can excel in those two courses, you can excel in whatever it is that you wanna do once you get out of this prison system, decentralized education system. Once you get out of high school, once you graduate, take a breather, figure out what just happened, what you just finished. Realize that the world you're about to enter is different than the world that you just came from. Take heed, make sure you look at all your options. Look at your family setting. If your family isn't financially, they need help. Get a part-time job, start to make some money, and appreciate what it takes to make money, to manage finances, right? So one of your first things you need to do to work the system, to understand the system, to be able to function with the system is as soon as you finish high school, get your finances in order, and realize how much it's going to cost you to get a higher education or get a trade or start a business, right? Extrapolate the debt you might be going into, five years, 10 years down the road, and try to appreciate if it's gonna be worth it for you to go into debt to this amount, right? Understand that there's no way you should go into a huge debt for a hobby, right? So if you like basket weaving, there's no way you should be spending $100,000 to go to university to learn how to weave baskets, okay? Really important, okay? So that's sort of what I'm referring to of how to work the system. There are ways that you can work the system beyond this. For example, if you wanna take courses at university, you don't necessarily have to pay the whole fees. You didn't have to anyway. I don't, some universities will still offer this, some colleges will still offer this, where you can pay a lower fee, right? And challenge the finals. And when you challenge a course, you can write the finals and get credit for the course. So instead of paying $1,000 for a course, you pay $250, write a final, you get the credit for the course, and then you can move forward again. So there's ways to work the system. Really study the system that you're being educated under and find the loopholes and figure out what you need to do to meander your way, make your way through the system and sometimes jump through the obstacles that have been put in place to hold you back so you can progress faster if that's what you wanna do, right? In high school, I was tutoring someone on my math school football team. He didn't understand basic algebra. At the end of a couple of months, he was doing trig. Guess that's what happens when you learn fractions for seven years. Nice, nice. You taught him trig and they didn't know how to do basic algebra, right? Odmic, I have students like this and I've had students like this all my life, right? Where I have athletes that are in school and athletics, I'm against athletics the way it's being managed and thank you for taking care of business. Spot of tea, I just noticed the message being deleted in centralized education. So the way they're promoting athletics is ridiculous. I just had students at the end of the school year, they got pulled out of school the last two weeks where they had exams and reviews and stuff. They got pulled out of school for a week. They went on a gaming trip to from Canada to the United States to play a sport for a week while their classmates were in school reviewing for the final. Whose genius idea was this? To pull kids, this is grade 10, 11 and 12 to pull kids that are playing a sport out of school the last two weeks during exam period, review time to go somewhere to play a game that for most of them it means nothing other than a good time, right? When they should be thinking about their academics. Ridiculous, right? And then when I work with some of these athletes, right? People think because these kids are athletic, they've been playing sports, maybe lacrosse, football, soccer, whatever it might be, they're not smart. And then you start working with them, you realize they're incredibly smart. They have math abilities beyond some of the people that are trying to get into mathematics, right? They just haven't been given the opportunity to learn basics algebra. Once you teach them the basics, you see their marks and their understanding of mathematics excel, right? Because one thing I've noticed, by the way, don't mention this, is those kids who are hardcore into athletics, they have discipline, right? Give them a challenge, they'll meet it, right? And that's the way I treat my students that are very highly athletic, right? I challenge them, I dump stuff on them. For me, it's worse. You're not learning anything. You may be getting a bit brainwashed, but I'm not learning, except minor math foundations. It's all just for the title. I agree with, most of it is for the title, Waban. Speaking of high school, secondary education, anyway, graduate and go into what I want to do. Yeah, our job market sucks. Good luck getting a part-time job if you're not a software developer, something in very high demand. Yeah, I agree with Waban. The job, or start your own job, right? Become an entrepreneur, start your own, whatever it is you want to do. I've had students and family and friends that have done this coming out of high school. The job market sucks, they're being bullied, they're not being paid enough, so they see a gap and they feel it. Well, ideally the purpose of school isn't to teach you useful things as much as it is to develop your brain so you can think critically. Hasn't been like that for a while, though. No, it hasn't, I agree with Ottmek. But education is cheaper, even free at times. That's how I feel about the military. I get a look down on it because I just want to finish my contract and leave and get a regular job, yeah. That's the best thing to do. You use it to get your certificate, get your credentials to a level where you need to get it, then pull out, get out, get your life in order and do what you want to do instead of being used as a tool. I realize that you've been timed out once already. Please watch your software next time. It will be a ban. Thanks, Spot of Tea. Funky doobie. Yeah, I timed them up earlier for 600 seconds. For second infraction for me, I warned them, by the way, Spot of Tea. I'd ban. I'll leave it up to you if you want to ban. I would ban. Okay. These times call for harsh punishments. But what about underwater basket waving? I feel like it might pay off. Maybe. She's show. Do you like the movie, Coach Carter? Coach Carter? Oh, I remember that. Ah, Coach Carter, Coach Carter. Which one is that? Am I way behind? Oh, I'm not way behind on chat, so I'm gonna look this up. Coach Carter, Coach Carter. Why is that ring a bell? Why is that ring a bell? Coach Carter. Coach Carter. Oh, it's the principal one. They came out in 2005. Have I seen this? Oh, no, I haven't seen this. It's Samuel L. Jackson, right? Samuel L. Jackson. No, I haven't seen it while I've been. Is it a good movie? Is it a good show? Definitely do, sir. I definitely do, sir. I think that's from Coach Carter. Maybe I've seen it. One of the bigger problems is teachers in the education system. If the teacher just see it as a job, then the person hate or just see it as a job. This teacher will not be good at reaching out to the young people and be able to teach them something. I agree. Kiss our manan. Most teachers are brainwashed or narrow-sighted. Yeah, I agree. Right now, anyway, more so than before. More so than before. Actually, good school is teaching us to think critically. Yeah, it should. We're thinking critically about school. We're thinking critically about school, we are. That's good. You need to be able to see what level the individual is at and not assume that everyone in the class is on the same level, 100% agree. These teachers come from their own school and they are really indoctrinated 90% of the time, which is not good for teaching. One of the things is too, it's the system. They don't, a lot of people go into teaching because they wanna work with youth and they love it. Like for me, I love it. I stumble onto this thing, right? I love it. However, they go into the education system and they think that is their only job or their main job. They don't realize there's a ton of bureaucracy that they have to deal with. There's a ton of regulations that they have to deal with. There's do's and don'ts of education. They have to, if certain things happen, they gotta go through the steps of dealing with it and stuff like this. They can't get too close to students because it might be frowned upon and stuff like that and they can't talk straight up to them. They can't use vowel language. There's so many obstacles put in front of teachers to get burnt out, right? I have sympathy for teachers in school, most of them initially. But if they've been there for a long time and they hate their job, my sympathy's gone, right? It means they're just taking a cozy job and they don't care about it, right? If you come across teachers that have been there for 20 years and they hate their job, change classes if you can, okay? Or even 10 years and they hate their job, change classes if you can, give them about five years to sort things out. If they still hate or they end up hating teaching, change classes if you can. I don't think it's really entirely the teacher's fault. They can't not assume that everyone is on the same level because that's what the system tells them to do, yeah. I've had friends that are teachers that I don't think they were good teachers. They were good teachers to people, to kids who knew their stuff. But any students that really didn't know their stuff and they didn't abide by their dictatorial powers, they would just fail them, right? They would go up to the kid and say, I'm gonna fail you, right? Unless you do this, this, this, this, this, this, and the kids would fail out, right? I don't consider that a good teacher. A good teacher is not someone who can educate those who already know the material. A good teacher is someone who can bring people up to the level they need to be for them to progress, right? That's a good teacher. A good teacher teaching to require is not a good teacher. That's just someone teaching to require, right? And when the teacher stopped putting personal ideas and shit into the education, they are really stupid, yeah. It's a great movie. About a basketball court trying to get his students to study more, ah, that's cool. Nice. I'll try to check it out. I'm gonna gift it a tier one sub to Martin. It's their first gift sub in this channel. Awesome, thanks. Thanks for doing that, the Okaoka one. Thank you, there's a big smile on Martin that says thank you. No problem, Okaoka one says. Fun. Have you seen any alternate systems that work better? And in regards to education, sure. I'm generating my own alternate system right now that I'm working on, right? So I'm creating content. I put my name out and word of mouth goes out, right? I'm also working with an alternate school in town where we're doing distant education and they're basically getting me to assess their kids in regards to mathematics, right? So I spend a few sessions assessing them, filling in some gaps, and then we set ourselves a goal where we wanna reach, right? Where if it's, we wanna teach a multiplication table, we teach a multiplication table. If we wanna teach them graphing, we teach them graphing. If we wanna get them to a level where they understand a little bit of statistics, we get them to a level where they wanna understand a little bit of statistics. The alternate system is one of them is hands-on, one-on-one, group of five or less, right? Where you're working with a central institution there farming that stuff out, bringing in, I don't wanna say I'm an expert, but I'm an expert. I'm very, very, very good at what I do because I'm very passionate about it and I care about the students and I hate the centralized educational system. So I've got like, I got multiple incentives for me to be good at what I wanna do, right? Because I wanna decentralize everything that's one of my core philosophies. So I'm working towards decentralizing things. I wanna better community to live in. So I'm helping the community. I care about the kids. So I'm helping the kids. I'm learning from the kids. You have no idea how much I've learned from my students. I can't even emphasize this more, right? A good teacher will be learning constantly from their students, right? So that's one level. I've also seen other levels, other types of education systems, right? That are more private. You know, there's a, I'm not promoting any of these, but there's the Waldorf education system. There's education systems, which are geared towards spending half the school year in nature and the other half in the classroom. So there's environmentally centric education systems, right? There's a lot of them out there, man. They're not, some of them are not state sponsored, right? Some of them are slowly becoming getting funding from the centralized state, okay? But they also have to abide by the timelines of the state. So for two months, they can't be teaching in the summer, right? They don't get any funding or whatnot. So there's a lot of different systems out there. I have two math teachers that are polar opposite. One of them is a bit neurotic and aggressive. The other is laid back and deadpan. It's very fun, cool. If only students hadn't decided to occupy, shish, why did they even have that choice? You know, Robin, I all disagree with you on this one. I think nonviolent group action is a good thing. That's democracy in action. So if they're occupying, it's creating discomfort for you right now a little bit, but maybe it'll make things better in the long run when they're pressuring the centralized system to change a policy which is horrendous. I don't know why they're occupying. I don't know what it is, right? So I'm all for group action. What do you call it? There's a word for it. Nonviolent, I forget what it's called. There's a political word for it. Also, I'm really glad I see you doing these and talking about topics like this. Yeah, it must be done. Are we, are, are theme. It's okay to brag sometimes. It's okay to brag sometimes. I think my biggest problem with school was that I really excelled in elementary and then in middle school, there was a no, there was no one-on-one time when you were struggling. So I fell behind and then high school, I just stopped caring because it seemed like the teachers didn't care. Yeah, okay, I'll call one. That's one of the problems. One of the problems I'm seeing right now because I mainly deal with high school education. I have some students that are elementary school as well, right, and a handful I get in post-secondary, but one of the problems I'm seeing with high school students is elementary school education that's completely collapsing in regards to mathematics. So I'm getting a lot of kids in grade eight where they don't know how to add fractions. Like literally, they have no idea how to add fractions. They don't know how to move around an equal sign. Wow, right? So one thing I do when I work with elementary school kids, I teach them all that stuff before we go to high school. So when they go to high school, I still keep on working with them, but my job is so much easier. And I, you know, you fine tune them for what they're learning in the grade eight and nine, but I'm mainly teaching in grade 10 and 11 material. School lost me in fourth grade. Oh, that's so early. When they started giving us a quiz on what our prime ministers said in media and other useful stuff, oh God. Then the teacher thought it was a good idea to make a compilation on it and made a list with points on all students in the class. Yeah, that teacher really sucked. When teachers bring in corporate propaganda into the classroom and test you on what the corporate propagandists are telling you, and the puppets that are in control of the funding for a country, when they start teaching you, it's indoctrination, it's horrendous. Is it democracy if it didn't get a vote though the way student union occupation usually pan out is more akin to totalitarianism. It's a touchy subject, Robin. Like I've seen school demonstrations where they prevent people from speakers coming in. That's, to me, that's fascism. That's totalitarianism. You're preventing someone from speaking, right? However, if the students are acting en masse to change a policy of the centralized system, then I tend to agree with that. So when the students band together and try to bully individuals, preventing individuals from speaking, going outside of the centralized institution which is governing the education system, then that's totalitarianism, that's fascism. If they're working together to change the laws in the system, then that's collective bargaining to a certain degree, right? I agree with you, it's a fine line. It really depends what they're trying to accomplish and how they're going about it, right? If they're trying to force their opinions onto other students, then that's totalitarianism. I agree with you 100%. I agree, I was lucky as I was educated in the 70s, 70s, 80s, when classroom size were smaller. That's smart. Waban, where if you decide for everyone that no one gets class, I feel you, Waban, I feel you. It really depends what they're doing. And hopefully the class is gonna be rescheduled, right? Because if you're paying for the class, then you're losing money, right? And technology was not so real. Yeah, the technology thing is crazy. I have a lot of students that are addicted to technology or I know that a lot of kids in high school are addicted to technology. They're not a recognized authority or power. Democracy works with established entities described in the country's constitution, a republic. Not some people just vote and do whatever they want no matter the consequences. Ah, Waban, I sort of disagree with you on that, right? Democracy in large part has been shaped through mass movements, right? Democracy doesn't come about from top down, laws being passed. Democracy comes out from mass movements from the ground up. So there has to be sort of a balance, sort of an understanding of how we've come to be where we are, right? You can take the civil rights movement for, as an example, right? Civil rights movement didn't start from the presidents and the corporations saying, yes, we will grant equal rights and liberty to all of our employees and whatnot. It came from people just taking the system and grinding it to a halt, right? And that is required at times. I don't know what to sit in for your classroom was all about though. The classes are so big, it sucks, because there are too many people and I can't really blame the teachers. They just get exhausted, yeah. Now, some teachers I blame, but it's the system that I'm very much against. Jacob, how are you doing? Hey guys, how are we today? We're doing fantastic. Always a pleasure to talk about education, really. One of the root causes of our problems. Halfway through the ninth grade, I quit going to school. Oh no, today I've had two successful businesses. Awesome. Oh no, awesome, right? Yeah, which is something you can do, right? There are certain experiences that you missed out on. Sick then, I can't even pronounce your name. Menon, or menon, or menon. There's a few different experiences you've missed out on, but those are social experiences, not in regards to academia. What if school students brought out a guillotine? Hotman, where are you going? Lorraine of terror for a more modern time. No killing people, no off with their heads, okay? I'm currently a developer with a good career. I want to get into education though, because I see it's a huge problem for exactly the reason you're describing. What's the best way to get started? Woof. So what are you, you're a developer, currently a developer. I'll have to think about that, man. Arthene, there's so many places that education is being reworked. Like, for example, just to give you an example, I'm doing what I'm doing, right? You have places like Khan Academy and stuff doing what they're doing, trying to create a centralized system to bring masses of people online and get them to pass whatever exams they need to pass, right? It's just basically feeding the machine, but it serves a purpose, okay? And some of the videos are not that, right? For me, it's more of a personal touch. It's not about getting kids, getting people through the system. It's about educating people, right? So places like Khan Academy to a certain degree is getting people through the system. For me, it's more geared towards empowering people, right? Especially focused on mathematics. There are also giants getting into the education system, maybe Bill Gates, Robert Murdoch, Apple and all this jazz, right? So you have to figure out your politics and your economics. Where do you wanna be? And look into those areas. Is it on the small scale personal level? Is it on the machine system, right? Creating a new automated system to try to get people across? Or is it partnering yourself with major conglomerates to roll out their business model, right? Yes, the school system needs more teachers and maybe encouraging studying groups among students. Yeah, study groups is good. Today, we don't have democracy anymore. What we have today is called democracy, I gotta pronounce that as democratorship. Big difference, democratorship. Inverted totalitarianism, economics trumps everything right now in our current Western world anyway. And huge parts of the other world. Do you understand the concept of lacyty? I don't know from the like of French constitution. Here it kinda means that the education system and space needs to be apolitical, a-religious, free and accessible. I don't know that term, lacyty, lacyty. The problem is our education system is 100% political, Waban. That's what our current centralized education system is right now. It's 100% political, right? So how do you prevent it from being political? How do you depoliticize our education system? If you don't challenge it, try to make it depolitical, then it's gonna remain political. If you use political means to try to make it apolitical, that's like this sentence is false. If it's true, it's false, if it's false, it's true. So it's a loop. I really don't know what the solution is, Waban. Really, I don't know for the centralized education system to fix it. I know it's crumbled. I know it's collapsed, right? I say, let it die. The solution to society for society to educate its populace is not the centralized education system. It's alternate systems. It's personalized education in the way I'm doing things. It's multi-tiered. There's multiple ways to go about it, right? Currently working on school work, enjoying this stimulating conversation while working, awesome Jacob. Chico, you're still going. Happy days, happy days, Intrepid, happy days. I hope you had a great run, a developer. What time is it? Cool, a developer of what? Buildings or a web developer or a software developer. Yeah, okay, okay. Asking Arthur, good questions, right? I think laity is a great philosophical principle to mandate in school, to make them spaces free of political basics, politics basically. But the student unions infringe on that. Usually very left-leaning politics. But the problem, again, Waban, is our current education system, centralized education system is 100% political. A web developer, web software developer. You could always make a software that could help teachers or something along those lines or students. You don't have to just jump jobs. You can help do what you know and have experience in. Yeah, okay, okay, is 100% correct, right? Build your own platform to help teachers. There are multiple different platforms that, like for example, what do I need as a platform? What do I need as a platform? I need open source software. 100%, that's non-proprietary, right? I need an amazing, there are systems out there, some kind of graphing software algorithms. And there are some out there I've played around with some of them. I need some kind of organizational open source software that has privacy, has anonymity, right? Because there's no way, me personally, I'm going to use Google spreadsheets or anything like this to manage the information for my students. I keep all of that offline on personal computers, right? So it has to be safe, secure system. I don't share that information with a centralized institution. So there's things that personally as private educator, someone's that working with students that I need, it's really large. The first order of business, Artheon, is start following people that are putting out news about our current education system and are doing education streams and talking about education and some of the problems that they have. And start off small and provide little solutions, right? For people to help them out, right? Everything is political. People who want to keep politics out of whatever, just support the status quo, which is political stance. Dante, I agree with Dante. Politics is everywhere right now. Politics is in our food supply, right? In our healthcare, like our healthcare system in Canada is completely political, right? It's not, number one priority is not health. Number one priority is politics everywhere. Yo, chico, good morning, man. Sleepy waves, how are you doing? Hope I'm not too late, not too late. We're gonna go for another 20 minutes or so, but we'll have to end it by nine o'clock my time with them to the two hour stream. I do have students that I have to meet. Monday is the last exam I've done with most of my students on Monday that are in the current education system. I have students that I'm teaching separately that aren't in an education system, but the main wave is done on Monday. So I have some students I need to take care of. Well, here it means that it's basically illegal to promote political party propaganda in schools. And in public schools, there can be no religious prostitizing. So there's no religious favoritism. Waban isn't stopping student groups from being political. Make the schools apolitical. The idea of lacy applies to those in power more than those subjugated by the power up time. One hour, 38 minutes, cool. Thanks, Nicholas. Student groups from being political make the schools political. Sorry, I mistyped. Student groups are allowed to do whatever they want, but outside the education space, as in the school building, automatic is getting it. But they are occupying it. It's one of their more common measures of action, not allowing free transit. So for example, is where the bus boycotts in Alabama where they do the wrong thing to do? I know that's not a school system, so where's the school system? I can't think of examples right now, but there are different types of school systems where segregation, you can take segregation, for example, where schools are segregated, where the mass movement sit-ins to prevent segregation, to end segregation, were they wrong? No, they were right, right? Oh, Waban, you're out of here. I'm going to go get breakfast, though it should be lunch at this point, Lafayette. Y'all have a good time. You too, Waban. Thanks for popping in. In Sweden, there was a school during the political voting times. The principal invited all the different parties to the school, besides one, the party. The party that is accused of being racist in left-wing media, which they are not. Talk about sending weird signals to the students. Yeah, if you're going to invite everyone, open up the platform, let the discussion be there. No censorship. A closed system is the only way to keep personal information safe. All my work information is on a closed platform, yeah. Hello, nice to meet you. Angus, nice to meet you too. Do you teach subjects other than math? Physics as well. I used to teach a little bit of chemistry, but I stopped that like 20 years ago. But I do teach physics as well. Okay, I got to go get a new phone. It was great to be able to catch you live stream. Didn't know you did them. I have only one. I have only been watching you on YouTube for a few months. Awesome. Okaoka one. Thanks for popping by and thank you for gifting the sub to Martin. Okay, I appreciate that very much. What does your academic background consist of? Geophysics and mathematics for future purposes. Friday for future protests or during school hours. Friday for future protests, see ya. But then it's not a political problem as much as the protests is affecting your convenience. Ah, it is about convenience. Good point, Autnec. Even if they weren't protesting something political, the general occupation is the issue. It isn't necessarily because of their political stance. I realize the occupation probably won't happen if not for their political views, but the issue isn't their political views. Their way of protesting, Autnec. You should be doing live streams. I'd love to hear your perspective on live streaming just going off, right? Very good point. I hope Robin caught it. There should be more decentralized spaces for political education, 100%. Any politics you're learning from the state is got a lot of BS in it and a lot of lies, right? I don't care which country you're from. In Canada and the United States, there's so much BS in history that they teach in our current education system. All right, really, tremendous amount, right? All you have to do is go through, go back, and see what they were teaching 40 years ago and look at it now and go, oh, wow. Like, they didn't even discuss that now, right? And then realize that some of the things that we're teaching kids 40 years ago, have completely turned around. It's the opposite that they're teaching them now, right? 40 years ago, they weren't even teaching kids about the, the, what do you call it? The schools for the natives, for the indigenous people where they took the kids away from their families and they put them in these schools that they were abused and stuff. Now, it's there. Finally, it's there being taught, right? Just imagine. There should be more like people's, more people in the form in New York City. It's Saturday and I'm off. Time for a beer soon. Awesome, Martin. Aren't you supposed to, on your days off, aren't you supposed to not drink because you drank during your work times? You should be drinking herbal teas on your work on your days off, brother. Balance, balance, balance. Fun. Hard to say though, hard to say. That was for sure. This was a good stream. I love doing these education streams. One out of eight I get off. One out of eight, wow, wow. I need to, I got tahini here. I need to energize myself with a little bit of tahini and honey. Martin, you should go get some sun. Green tea, nice. This one's sort of Persian tea, black tea. I'm sort of giving myself a little bit of, actually green tea has nice caffeine too. Tea in the morning. Every now and then I stop drinking tea for a couple of days. Just because I drink a lot of tea so I try to filter that out of my system. Maybe, maybe. How are you doing? Atmic, by the way, Chicho, have you heard of Freetown Christiana? No, I don't. Freetown Christiana, I'm gonna look her up. I don't drink hot drinks. Not sure why. I know people that don't drink cold drinks because of the Chinese thing saying, Freetown Christiana, also known as Christiana, is a self-proclaimed autonomous anarchic district of about, in Denmark. No, I didn't know this district, about 852,000 residents covering in the boroughs of Christiana and Danish capital city of Copenhagen. It was temporarily closed to residents in April, 2011 by the Danish government. Oh, wow, I don't know about this. That's cool, I'm gonna bookmark this. Save it as a, as a pin tab. I didn't know about this atmic. That is cool. I think you did a stream on this, but what's in tahini again? It's the tahini. So this one is with honey. So I take, it's about, you gotta, Nicholas, you gotta do it to your taste. So for me, it's about three quarters tahini and a quarter honey, and I mix it with honey or maple syrup. So I take tahini and I mix honey, put honey in it and mix it, and then I taste it. If it's not sweet enough for me, I add more honey and I mix it until I like the sweetness of it, right? And I do the same with maple syrup. So I either mix it with honey or maple syrup. With honey, it's a little bit more solid. With maple syrup, the color changes to a little darker, and it's just a solid as well with maple syrup. And tahini is just assessing me seeds, right? Totally off topic, but Chico, I was seeing a girl for a couple of weeks and last night she told me she would rather be just friends. Any tips on letting go and moving on kind of woke up, bummed on. Just do that, just be friends. But I would recommend, if she just wants to be friends, I would recommend not constantly trying to hang out with them, okay? Hang out with them every now and then. Hang out together in social settings, just so they see how, I don't know how long you've known this person, just for them to see how you interact with other people. Maybe they might change their mind and say, maybe I wanna be a little bit more in friends, right? But don't rearrange your schedule to be constantly with them. And every now and then, if they contact you out of the blue and say, you know, if they contact you a lot out of the blue and say, ah, can we hook up right away? I really need to be with a friend or something like this. For sure, offer your time, but don't do it every time they wanna be with you, because you have a life now too, and if you wanna find someone that you can be intimate with, then you have to put some energy towards that as well and go outside of that friendship, right? Now, I've had this happen, everybody's had this happen to them, sleepy waves for sure, right? It sucks if you wanna be more than friends, but one way to get over it, that's not even over it, and just sort of accept their decision, right? Because it's their decision, you have to respect it, right? Is expand away from them, still be there for them, but expand away and meet other people. There might be, they're guaranteed, there's people that you're gonna be interested in, if not more, at least as much as you were in them, okay? Find those people, and it's a long life, man. Your paths will cross again if it's meant to be, right? It's a community in Denmark that was settled by squatters when the military left their base. It's in, oh, it's in the military base, I think I read about this. It's an almost completely independent town from the country of Denmark. I might have come across this when it first hit my radar back like eight, nine years ago, the military base triggered it, but I didn't follow through. It wasn't hitting my radar. I'll look into it more, Odomic, thank you for that. We're the South African one. It's absolutely mind-blowing, completely anarchist, anarchist, independent, proof that it's possible. For sure it's possible. Anarchist communities are 100% possible, especially anarchist communities that don't have the full weight of the state on them, right? A lot of reason these communities don't survive is because the state comes down hard on them. They blockade them. They put pressure on them. It's basically the way they treat certain countries where they sanction them and blockade them, right? The country's economic prospects collapse. People are under pressure and the system collapses, right? If people were left alone, more freedoms, right? Less restrictions, we would see so many different alternative systems of communities and lives everywhere, right? I'm familiar with that place. Love Copenhagen, yeah. I'm half Danish and I go to the school there. It's one of my favorite places to go, oh cool, I never made it to Copenhagen when I was in Europe. Hate to say it, plenty more fish in the sea. Plenty more fish in the sea. Martin's like straight up bar mentality. Plenty more fish in the sea, brother. Move on, move on, move on. But if the person is a really nice person, you do want to stay friends with them as well, right? There's nothing wrong with that, but putting it bluntly, plenty of more fish in the sea. To what extent are you religious, you show? A spiritual, yes. Organized centralized religion, not, right? I have been there, wasted eight years waiting. Oh, eight years. I've done a few months, maybe a couple of years max. I don't think a couple of years, but I had fun in the process too, right? I see you, eight years is a long time, Martin. Too bad for them. They're lost, really. From our interaction and the way you've been. Brother, they're lost, big time, big time, right? Big time, happy to call your friend, Twitch chat friend and more, right? I also have relationship advice I could use if you are willing. As you know, I will be leaving for the Marines in early December. And last night, my girlfriend just told me she doesn't think that she can bear the leave while I'll be gone and basically wants to end things once I leave. This was very hard to hear, to be honest. Yeah, you guys have been together for a while intrepid, yeah? What do you do for a living, sir? I teach math, same here. I have a spiritual set of beliefs, but I disagree with mass religions, same, sir. What are your favorite books? Oh, man, we've covered so many of these. My favorite books. I don't know, on what front? Here, I'll give you one. Here's one of my favorite books. Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis. I like this, trippy. Gore Vidal, perpetual war for perpetual peace. Willem Reich's mass psychology of fascism. We're here for you, brother. So sorry for you. Thanks, Chico. My pleasure, man. Thank you. I think I believe in higher power. I find a fulfilling, and I want to believe. I want to believe. X, Y, O, I am not sure about life after death, though. You know what? I believe in life after death, right? But a higher power? I don't know, Adnec. I believe we are the higher power in large part, right? I believe in higher forms of being. Thank you, my friend, intrepid. I just bought perpetual war, awesome, sleepy ways. Starting, nice, nice, starting tomorrow, nice. Thank you for not ignoring me again, sir. No, if I can't help it, I don't ignore, man. What was the last fascist book called? Can you type it? Mass Psychology of Fascism by Wilhelm Reich. Let me provide a link. And intrepid, brother, nice heart. Mass Psychology of Fascism, here. The Mass Psychology of Fascism by Wilhelm Reich. The version I have is the 19, it was, here. Here. Oh, nice. Mick, you provided it. The version I have is the 1945, I think, rewrite. He wrote it in 1933. And I've read some pages from the 1933 version. And the 1945 version is better. He added more to it, right? Because he was writing it as the third Reich was coming into power, right? He was living through it. And then after World War II, he revamped it and stuff, right? Difficult read, hard read, brilliant read. Highly recommend it, really. The pink font ain't working for you. I think the majority of people are embedded into the system now, making it impossible to escape until the system collapses, Mick. Until the system grinds to a halt and people are just gonna be shocked out of that state of being. Where do you stand politically? So much. Where do I stand politically? Right here, right now. Decentralization, oh well. The universe could be a simulation built by a chubby 40-year-old programmer with bad PO named Dave. All I'll take, hilarious, scary, eating cheese puffs, drinking Coca-Cola. Or hopefully, eating tahini, I'll be into that. Not the bad beodo, eating tahini. I guess the higher power, I believe, is inscribable as an actual being as much as an amorphous, nebulous collection of things I value and believe want to be in the universe because I think they're universally good. I like what Grant Morrison, the way Grant Morrison described it. We, as individuals, are this, this, this. This is me, this is Otmek, this is Martin, this is Wabin, and all, everybody else, right? So this is us if you're looking at it as a 2D. So just imagine a 2D plane, our hand going through this, and each one of us appears as a circle, right? But if you had a higher perspective, you would realize that each one of us is part of a hand and another being, a whole being. So we are all connected, right? Looking at ourselves through the three or fourth dimensional point of view. If we go to a higher dimension, we'll realize that we are all connected. That's a good philosophy. Better than Otmek, no offense, but better than a 40 year old programmer getting cheese puffed during a cold cold with Pantiyo living in a virtual reality. I recently finished reading 1984 for the second time. I haven't read it for a second, I haven't read it once, long time ago. Yes, Big Brother knows this. Big Brother, 1984, what a scary book. Okay gang, we're at two hours. We gotta end the stream. Or I have to end the stream. My apologies, I'm loving these conversations, but I gotta go see some students. Gotta get them ready for the final on Monday. Okay, thanks for being here. Thank you for the subs. Thank you for the follows. Thank you for the gifts if you've been gifting them. Ah, I always come home from work too late to catch the full stream. I'll look up Grant Morrison. I haven't heard of him. Oh, Grant Morrison is awesome. Morrison, here, thanks Gicho. Grant Morrison. And he gives this explanation doing this information, this information lecture, I guess, it's a lecture, but he was talking about, he talks about Robert Anton Wilson, stuff like this. It's the lecture where he comes on. He's pretty plastered and he yells really loud. It goes, ah, and then he goes off, right? He's a, he's called, he's, he's a huge comic book writer, creator. Okay, happy to be able to catch the stream. Thanks Gicho. My pleasure, Trevor. Thank you for being here. Thanks for being here, Nicholas Ottmek. I'll look up Grant Morrison, yeah. You look like Lenin, maybe. We have, Vaya con Dios Gicho, Vaya con Dios. I assume that means have a great day or something, Grant Morrison, this information, and that's me. Okay, gang, hope you have a fantastic weekend. Most likely I'm gonna upload the previous live stream we did for politics today. Most likely, maybe tomorrow evening, or tomorrow. And then the following one we did yesterday will be uploaded in a couple of days or so, okay? Have a great weekend, everyone. We'll talk later and I'll announce streams, the next scheduled live streams, and the next three days or so, okay? Bye for now.
