 We should be going live. Hi everyone, this is Chih-chou. Welcome to my channel and welcome to another live stream. Today is April 10, 2020, and we're doing an open discussion on education beyond the indoctrination and the propaganda solutions. And we've done education streams before. And this one we're doing specifically in regards to suggestion, recommendation, requests that we had on chat. I sort of went to our discord page and our just chat in general and asked people what topics they wanted to live stream and education was one of them. I'm happy to host education discussion live streams. Hello, Caseman. Hello, Dragon. How are you guys doing? Hello, Eraser. Hope you guys are doing well. It should be a good stream today. I love the discussion on education because it's extremely important. Sky Hall. How are you doing 404? And let me give everyone a little intro regarding education and then or what it is that we're doing here, who we are, and regarding education. I want to read a little write up that Graham always been making, which is one of the people that's an educator that is basically in the midst of going through the disruptive innovation that's taking place right now to try to reach out to students and decentralize our education system. So after I do our little intro, I'm going to read up, read his little write up and then I'll return to chat and pick up the conversation. What do you think of music as a college major? Sure, don't go into huge debt because of it. Eraser, that would be my recommendation. And it depends what type of music. Like what is it that you're interested in? It could be sound production. It could be whatever it is, right? Or an instrument or whatnot. Hannah, how are you doing? How's it going? I walk with my mate by the river and enjoy the sun. Don't worry. We demonstrated social distancing, physical distancing. Awesome. Hello, Kulio. How are you doing jazz performance? I love jazz. Jazz is phenomenal, right? But don't go into huge debt with it. Martin, how are you doing? I'm awake mostly because I'm still up from Thursday. You're still up from Thursday. I used to keep those hours, man. Those hours give you an interesting perspective on the world. That's for sure. As for those of you who are watching this after the live stream, okay, and those of you who are watching this right now, let's go avoid hook. How are you doing? I'm awake because I broke my no-coffee past noon. Oh, check this out. Check this out. I got iced coffee. It's rare, rare treat for me that I'm drinking iced coffee. I'm not sure if you guys have ever seen me drink coffee. We might have done it on one stream and it's phenomenal. It's like candy, right? Sweetened with honey. As for who I am and what we're doing here, I am on Patreon. That's going to be my main site where I share information. I've always been making. Welcome, welcome. I was waiting to see your name pop up. So if you want to follow our work, I am on Patreon. It's a fantastic way to support this project, but you don't have to support this project with funds if you can, if you just want to follow our work because everything I do is open. I don't put anything behind the paywall and you can just do the follow on Patreon and whenever I post something, you will get notifications. And this discussion that we're doing about education is really the central theme of what I'm doing, right? What I started doing like 14 years ago basically, which is basically creating math videos and deciding to create my own math curriculum because in my opinion, your centralized education system is completely crap, right? And if you're interested to find out what the thesis of my work is on the main page, the description and on YouTube and Bichute, you will find this with video, which is sort of a channel trailer for Chicho for 2019 that I put out. And it's sort of a tour of the site. We take a look at the top 10 videos that are our top 10 videos on YouTube right now. And a lot of those are math related, comic book related, which is as well related to mathematics and other things, right? I sort of give you a tour of the site and how the stuff is, you know, the foundation of it is mathematics. And if you want to know about this project, you can check out two playlists. One of them is education. And the other one is my vision of sort of, if you put them together, there's a lot of overlap between the videos. If you put them together, you take a look at those videos. It's basically talking about my perspective on our current education system, its failures, how it's affecting every aspect of our lives. And my vision incorporates some of those videos as well as my business model of how I'm approaching this independent education channel. And there's a lot of information there, and we will discuss some of those things on this live stream as well. Okay, if you're interested in following that work. And again, Patreon is a fantastic way to follow this work and support this project. We are live streaming on Twitch. Chat is going and I will join chat as soon as I do our little intro that we're doing. Okay, so if you're interested in following the stuff live, Twitch is where you want to be at. And we do upload these two other platforms right now, BitShoot and YouTube. And I do announce these streams about 30 minutes beforehand, before we go live on Twitter, Gab, Minds, L-O-N-V-K. Okay, and I am active on all five. Obviously, Twitter has more followers right now. And you can get in touch with me through either of those five platforms. And we will be uploading these things to these videos, all of them to BitShoot, most of them to YouTube. Okay, and we did get approved for YouTube membership, channel membership and YouTube channel membership is another great way to support this project as well as subbing, following, subscribing through Twitch and YouTube and BitShoot. And I would recommend turning on notifications as well as joining Patreon. And we are in times of pandemic and what we want to do is flatten the curve. Do not overwhelm your healthcare systems, healthcare infrastructure in these times because you want to show a little respect and make sure everybody is taking care of including your healthcare workers and the system will have the capacity to take on extra load if need be. Okay, aside from that, I'm going to turn these guys off. I'm going to go to chat and I'm going to quickly just try to catch up with the chat. And then I'm going to read the little introduction that always be making sort of a write up that he put on our Discord page. And I'll let that guide us through this live stream. If you've been following my work, you'll know that I have a lot of my own opinions about centralized education system. Okay, Reno, Mike, how are you doing? Welcome everyone, by the way, Ethiopian, Adrian, junior college for two years in my recommendation, you save big money and you still get a great education, also avoid private schools. They are more expensive and aren't always a better quality education, apply for scholarships, apply for scholarships, great recommendation, also collaboration outside of school, create your resume. Okay, online, have a website where you're sharing content, collaborating with people. That is extremely important. That should be mandatory for anyone going to any type of education. Okay, that doesn't make a difference if it's apprenticeship, if it's college, if it's university, if it's polytechnical school, whatever it is, it should be mandatory for you to have a presence online where you're creating content. Okay, whatever it might be, apply for scholarships or other, is getting paid to go to school, that's how many scholarships he has. Yeah, there's a lot of scholarships out there. Okay, like a great man once said, isn't proper ganda what British people say? I don't know. Cryptomic. Fump, how are you doing? Hey, how's it going, Chicho? Hope everything is well, doing well, brother, doing well. Second thing, second thing, junior college, community college, some of the best years of my life, no lie, awesome, grace man, eraser. I'm in my last semester of my computer science BS, awesome, though I have many friends that went to college for music and followed their passion in spite of a financially stable path. I wonder how much passion weighs against work for money, a huge, a lot of people sacrifice their lives for money, which I do not recommend. The house of cars comes crashing down, usually at some point in your life, if you're choosing money over everything else, and it could destroy you. Okay, and your loved ones, of course, they made it for late night workshop, Martin. And now today, we use it to worship at the junior high level. Funny. Tristan, hey, Chicho, how are you doing? How are you doing, Tristan? Welcome to our live stream, too many useless information classes in school, to a certain degree. Okay, some of the information, you think this useless at first and then you realize it's not. Okay, you should pre-record an ASMR loop of this flatten the curve speech and your link promotion so you can just play it while you sit back and drink tea. No, I like the interaction, I like the challenge, I like going through it. It varies, it changes, sometimes I stumble, sometimes I stutter, sometimes it works, it's beautiful, it comes out fantastic, and that's phenomenal for me. For me, it's sort of a game, sort of keeps me on my toes, challenging, right? I don't mind, I don't mind. Perfect, Martin says. Hi, hi, the stock market, glad to see you back. Camer, came moral Kirby, Kirby, Cameron Kirby, Cameron Kirby, geez, that took me way too long. Cameron Kirby had a, it's really the lack of options. I don't like the, where did it go? Kindle is a con, con the channelization education based on this utility. Thank you, Joe. Hello, hello, how are you doing? Who do you think does it better? High school or college? High school is brutal. College depends. Hey, hey, hey gang, twitching, Jason, how are you doing? Do you think that apathy is the death of a personal soul, to a certain degree, atomic? So are a few other words, descriptive words, right? Entitlement is another one. Entitlement is another one. R.A.D. case, man. Oh my gosh. It's perfect because the weak trolls that come on and spew garbage, like it's just random. It's a byproduct of our centralized education system indoctrination, where people have been bombarded with just authority figures crushing them, and they haven't been allowed to think beyond the most rudimentary level. So whenever they have the just the slightest opportunity to spew what's inside of them, just garbage comes out, right? It's very unfortunate, very unfortunate. These, college is a choice usually, and is a much broader world than high school. Apathy is a product though, a product of centralization. Centralization is brutal. So gang, let me read you what always be making posted on our discord page. In the education folder, because I thought it was pretty good, and we can take it from here and expand on it and focus on one thing or dismiss it if you guys want. So I'm just going to read this, okay, and then I'll come back to the chat and see where it takes us. It's seven quintillion, a real number, I had no idea. Trouble with education, history, we only get what we need to know, what they tell us we need to know. Why does it feel so good sometimes to be so mean to people anonymously on the internet? I don't know. It's lashing out, it's childish, it's still weak, insecure, people tend to do that, and a lot of those seem, as part of growing up, when you're a kid, you will run in front of people's doors, apartments, knock on the door and run away and giggle. I mean, how old were you when you did that? It's unfortunate that much older people end up doing that online, but I guess they never had the opportunity to have that freedom to get that out of their system, maybe? I can't deny that apathy fills me, but I definitely think that apathy is the worst thing anyone can gain. See, the kicker is, if you have apathy, then maybe you haven't found where your passions are. The things that you're apathetic about are the things that maybe are being fed to you, and you have to reach out to find out what it is that you really want to put your time energy effort into. Reno, Mike, what do you think of online schooling? I like it, like the schools are doing now. It really depends. I don't believe in the centralized online schooling system. I think that's garbage in the large part. I think one-on-one education, one-on groups of three or four education is legit. I think once you go beyond that, where you're doing MOOC, where massive online courses with just 100,000 people trying to learn is legitimate, 100%, because from 100,000 people that sign up, maybe a couple of hundred finished a program. But you could have done that without signing up to MOOC or anything like that. If you're talking about high school type of education, where they're doing online, which is one-on, the teacher and 30 people online listening and stuff, that becomes a little bit too much as well, because you need now really huge, the progression is so fast, you need individual interaction with educators. Really, I just recently had one student tell me, I started working with him recently, one student tell me, they were crazy excited, super intelligent kid, like wants to go speedy bonzala style. And he turned to me and said, he felt lucky because he didn't think you could find the math teacher that could feed him information the way he needed and as rapidly as he needed to learn mathematics. Like, oh my God, why isn't our education system able to accommodate that? Incredible. You have people out there that want to learn at a rapid pace, but they're having a hard time finding a place to learn at a rapid pace. It's insane to me. Because no matter who you are, you need guidance. It's one out of a million that can actually sit down behind the computer and without any guidance be able to educate themselves completely. There's a reason why one of the oldest, what do you call it, oldest jobs in the world, oldest career in the world is mentorship, education. Really, along with a few other things. Important question. Why is wine so good? It depends on the wine. Have you ever drank crap wine? Nasty, nasty. There's a special place in my heart for juvenile drool. And you could do drooling in an intelligent way. Unfortunately, there's a lot of uneducated, indoctrinated, weak drools out there. It's part of a centralized education system. That's all. Yes, it is. My Zoom class got bombed four times in a row with hateful, racist and pornographic stuff until someone whipped. Oh my god. Then my professor called it up. Oh my god. That's insane. Just get raised there. That crashed me up, but that's crazy. No one more zero. Good evening, Chichou. Hello, BDS. How are you doing? Why do professors not put passwords on their rooms? I thought mine all do. I don't know. And the Zoom has been getting hacked, right? I mean, what is it? Tesla and I think New York School Board just recently said that they banned their users, their employees from using Zoom, right? Notice the people do it because they never learn perspective and always make argumentative instead of offering solutions. They are mean to get attention, most disengaged when you try to spark a productive discussion. A thumb to a certain degree, there's also a lot of trauma that people grow up with. So I've personally found that bullies in general, those people that are mean, they have been wronged in the past, so they're trying to deal with it. So there is mental issues there as well, right? So we can't dismiss mean people as just being bad people. Sometimes that mean meanness comes from a rude issue that they had to face when they were younger, right? So that has to be addressed in our society. That's why I try to be fairly tolerant, right? You have to be. We have to be. It's the only way to heal our societies, really, and correct things. It was password protected with someone who was leaking it everywhere. Oh my God. It's a numbers game. Get them in and get them out. Exactly. It's assembly line, Mike Reno. Zoom on, not very secure. Not very secure. Zoom is not very secure. Site force rage. I don't think Zoom was prepared for this. No, I don't think so either. There's disruptive innovation coming up all over the place. Legacy systems are collapsing left and right, right? Yeah, I love how Zoom sold data to Facebook and Facebook sold it to everybody else, right? Hello, hello. Hello, Spider-Man. How are you doing? So sorry for being no worries, Spider-Man. It's all good, brother. It was until people called on them out. Greetings and blessings. Dr. P, how are you doing? Namsta. Namsta. I use Spider-Man. Okay, let me read, always be making little write-up that he put on our Discord page, okay? Quote, topic for the education stream. I think streaming technology will turn out to be a key tool in progressive education. In an effort to bypass systemic centralization, streaming technology, I believe, will be paramount to decentralizing education. I teach in a public STEM academy, which is project-based. I have a 3,000 square foot workshop where we keep tools and materials, which means we have the capacity to make or fix anything. Progressive education is in my heart. I don't believe centralized education has a learner's interest in mind. Centralized education benefits corporate interests. If I believe in learning as a fundamental mode in order to seek truth, then I must be willing to have my learner's best interests in mind. This is at odds with centralized education. Due to the pandemic, I have had to pivot to an online facilitator presence and in order to most directly translate my pedagogy onto an online presence, I have been streaming for two hours a day, Monday through Friday. I've done open discussion, I've done Q&A, I've done my own projects, I've advertised the streams on online learning platform, which is a technology survey indicates they definitely have access to, which indicates they just aren't looking or they are looking and are just ignoring the resource. Either result indicates a lack of drive to learn. Out of 140 students that I have, I have one student who comes every day to talk and ask questions. Otherwise, I have one student who pops in and out and I've seen maybe forever on the live stream. Obviously, my main worry is not that students aren't listening to me, but rather that they don't feel any drive to seek learning on their own terms. The main idea of trying to instill in them since I met them. If my main goal in life is to facilitate learning and the centralized education system isn't meeting that need, I have a moral imperative to not participate in it, which means I intend to bypass it. To that end, I think streaming technology is an answer, but I don't know how to grow audience in an appropriate way. My main question is, what should I do if I feel the need to reach as many people as possible, and rather, should I not want that to want that? And that is what Graham always been making posted on our education folder, and my reply was great intro to our live stream on Education Brother, Food for Thought. Let's see where it takes us. Thank you. And someone else had a comment there as well. If you want to read additional, I'm pretty sure there will be additional comments there following our discussion, maybe possibly. So, I thought that was a good intro, some of the thought that as educators and what always be making posted is something that all educators are most likely thinking about. For me, I was lucky. I decided two decades ago that I wasn't going to participate in the centralized education system. I looked into it, it wasn't going to happen, right? So, I started creating, learning how to blog, and I started writing, and then I started making videos 14 years ago, because that's where I wanted to be. So, I had time to build an audience. I know a lot of educators, a lot of people that want to teach are getting online, but they're coming online at a time where there's a lot of censorship happening, there's a lot of noise, there's a lot of different platforms. So, it's a little bit of time of decentralization, a chaos taking place, and people are having a hard time finding their footing. Unfortunately, at the beginning stages, a lot of the education websites, a lot of the educators to a certain degree that wanted to teach, they got, they became very centralized, right? Some of them came out of Wall Street because they saw a growth factor there that they could cash out on, right? So, they created all the stuff brought in, funding, and they created all these platforms, but what they created was basically another centralized version of an online version of what we have right now, which is, it suits some people, but the majority of people are falling through the cracks. You can see it happening, right? If you're an educator, you see it happening, right? All of these centralized education platforms where they have guided exercises, you do this, you do this, you do this, you do this, you get through, you learn all this stuff. It's a small percentage of students that are able to go through that system. Majority of people, as I said at the beginning, you need the interaction with an educator. That will never change, okay? That will never change, okay? So, we have to keep that in mind. I'm just going to read some of the chat just to get caught up, see what other thoughts are being talked about. I found many students going to school or college, some started hating, studying. What do you think about that? Yeah, for sure. And this addresses BS20, okay? This address is something that I'll always be making mention, right? Always be making said, he has 140 students that are supposed to take the course. One shows up constantly, and there's four more that pop in and out, right? Now, my question to always be making or anyone that has is teaching at a centralized institution, how many of your students in that class, right? What percentage of students in that class signed up for that class because they really want to take that class? And what percent signed up for that class because they needed it as an elective or as a mandatory course, or just something to fill a curriculum because they didn't know what to do, right? So, we've always been making 140 students, let's say five of them are interested because they're popping into his live stream. Is that the percentage of people that signed up for this course because they really want to take it? If that's the case, then that's okay. Those are the five people that really are interested in what you're teaching, right? So forget about the centralized structure that says all of these people have to attend your live stream class because they have to take the course. If they're not interested, they're not interested. The system is broken. If they need to get the credit, if they don't show up, they don't get the credit, right? But don't worry about, my recommendation would be don't worry about those people. Focus on the ones that really want to be there, right? Because once you focus on the ones that really want to be there and start teaching them, word of mouth gets out. Word of mouth gets out, right? And slowly build an audience. Maybe I should invest in internet security company. Maybe Martin is very centralized right now. I'd like to know what we define progressive education as. That's an interesting term. Yeah, I don't know actually, case man. I don't know what progressive education would be. For me, some people consider the way I teach my students to be very novel, right? It is what it is, right? Hi, could you share some insight on giving children teens math tutoring? Planning to give my small cousins some help? What to look out for besides teaching in their pace and be open to questions during the day? The two things you just mentioned, risk to, are the two most important. Be ready to answer questions. If you don't know the answer, tell them you don't know the answer. If you're online, look it up together. If you can't, if you know they get a little frustrated and trying to find the answer, tell them I'll find the answer and I'll come back to you, okay? Pay attention to their questions. There's no doubt about that. Pay attention to what they're interested in when it comes to mathematics, right? When you're working with someone, when I do anyway, when I'm working with someone that's interested in mathematics and I find that I'm losing them slowly, right? I start to dig a little bit, find out what they're interested in, right? And once I, you know, get a grasp of what their mind is focused on, I try to plant a little mathematics in there, right? For example, one of the ones I use a lot, right? I'll give you one of the tricks of the trade that I use to teach mathematics. Obviously, I have a lot of students, any teacher does, any educator does, that love gaming, right? So when I'm teaching kids, students that are into gaming and we're, when we're on the section of units and ratios, fractions, rational numbers, right? At the beginning stages, when I'm teaching them how to add a subtract fraction, multiplier fractions, when I'm teaching them unit conversion, which is huge, by the way, right? When I start teaching that, if I lose them at my disposal, one of the things I have in my toolbox is, I go, hey, listen, you play games, right? Like literally, this is my conversation with them. I go, yeah, what game have you been playing recently? Obviously, I do a good segue into that, right? I try to teach them stuff like this. I go, listen, this applies in the real world. And I try to get them to ask me, where does this apply in the real world? Where can I use this in my real life, right? If they're frustrated, I go, oh, you game, right? And they go, yeah, I go, well, in your game, you must follow your stats, right? So my segue to teaching kids about unit conversion ratios is to talk to them, drop hints that their games, one of the most important aspects of their gaming life is the stats they accumulate through gaming. And then from there, once it clicks, and I just feed them, and once it clicks, don't hold back, feed them as fast as you can, right? Because you have a short window there where they're paying attention before they drift away, right? And that window really depends on your students. Sometimes it's up two minutes. Sometimes you have them for 10 minutes, right? So you show them the little trick, talk to them about unit conversion. And from unit conversion, what I teach them right away, I try to link it up to graphs, right? Because ratios, graphs, are really your XY coordinate system, right? So I go, oh, your XY coordinate system is ratio and the slope is your ratio, right? Really. So you have to be, and that's one of the reasons our centralized education system doesn't work when you have 30 or 40 students in one classroom, right? You see doorways open up, opportunity open up to feed certain kids information rapidly, but you can't take advantage of that because out of, you know, class of 30, maybe you have two of them that have that opportunity window open at the same time. So what are you going to do? Really? What are you going to do? And you have disruptions over there. So this window is open for two students to rapidly feed them information, bam, peak their curiosity, plant seeds for next year, right? And you have to plant seeds for next year. Never teach, if you're teaching mathematics specifically or any subject, right? If you're, for me, I can only talk about physics and mathematics, right? But when I'm teaching them mathematics specifically, if that window is open, I teach them what they need to know at that moment, speedy Gonzales style, and I plant seeds for future lessons, even future years. And once you do this rapidly, multiple times, you're aware of it, right? Then the kids, your students slowly put the pieces together and they get a larger picture of what's going on. And that's where you want to take them. Once you've taken your students to a level where they get a higher perspective, ridiculously important, higher perspective, you're on easy street, right? You front and loaded the work you need to do to get your students to a level where you can coast and your job, your workload reduces, right? And that's what I try to do personally. So that's the recommendation I have for you if you're trying to teach mathematics. It has for specific topics in the mathematics, there's a lot, right? I have lots of little tools at my disposal that I learned over the last 25 years that I use to be able to bypass barriers, right? And I've shared a lot of that stuff in the videos we've put out. Okay. Yeah. Airman, I want to scroll down, gang. I know there's a lot of chat going on. For those of you who've been following and subscribing, thank you very much for the follow and subscribe. If there's anything that I'm missing, okay, that is directed towards me, please let me know. I'm just going to scroll down and read chat. So if it doesn't say Chisholm, I'm not going to read it, just because I want to get caught up with the chat, right? I would say 75% of my students actively signed up for the course. 25% chose it because they didn't, like any of the other options, 5% were put in there randomly. So I would say 70% of my students actively signed in. So you've got 70%, man, you're lucky always be making. Okay. So the trick is, how do you get more students popping in? I think this is something novel that's taking place, right? That a lot of students are not used to this online platform of learning, right? So it's going to take a little bit of time and they're being forced into it. They're in the middle of a pandemic. They're stuck at home with family members and teenagers being stuck in a confined area for an extended period of time with people they constantly interact with. The mental health issues there must be huge, right? So be patient and try different things always be making. Really. I personally wouldn't want to be in your situation. You're in a tough spot, right? You're in a tough spot. But I would say maybe even instead of 140 students popping in, this is one option you do have. Okay, always be making. You're saying you're streaming every day for two hours, right? Okay. You're streaming every day for two hours. Send out a notice to your students say, hey, listen, you don't need to attend every stream. Which streams and give them say they have to pop in for one stream a week or two streams a week, right? Ask them which stream they want to attend and reduce the number of people that are signed up for your course that are logging on to your stream from 140 reduce it down to, I mean, even 150 divided by five is 30 students per two hour live stream, which to me is still a lot, right? So you could break it down into five segments and send out notices to your students saying this is the scheduled stream, your weekly stream that you have to attend. Okay. So narrow it down for them. One thing people don't really appreciate. And it comes from unschooling. And I don't mind unschooling. I love homeschooling. But one thing people have to appreciate is kids need guidance, right? There's a lot of people there that say, Oh, you can just put kids in front of computer and don't learn anything. Yes, but they need guidance. We all need guidance, right? So you can kids can learn fast, but they need help. They need they need people to ask questions of. They need people to bounce ideas off, right? Because one of the most frustrating things in learning, okay, is when you're learning really fast and then you hit one little thing that it takes forever for you to find an answer to. Okay. Apply that to us that are online right now. How many times in your life from being online, if you're gaming, if you're creating a website, if you're doing whatever it is online, how many times have you spent hours, sometimes days, trying to find an answer to something that just a simple hot key would do exactly what you needed to do. Where you have to filter through a ton of garbage. It gets so frustrating, right? You may be sound editing, you may be video editing, you may be doing whatever it is. You're sitting there, you get pissed off, frustrated. Three hours later, you still haven't found what you wanted to do. You found a little patch that almost does what you want to do that you can use, but it's not really does not satisfying. It doesn't do exactly what you want to do. And then you use that patch for a few days and then you realize it's not working. So you come back online trying to search. Kids are the same, right? But kids get frustrated much faster. Okay, teenagers preteen. So they get frustrated a lot faster. We have to accommodate that frustration. We have to be able to provide guidance. May it be through an educator, may it be through peer system, may it be through parents. Okay. Pretty good ratio always. Yeah, that's a crazy ratio 70%. I want to keep on scrolling down gang. Okay. There's a lot of discussion being taken place between people. No attendance, no grades. Wow. So I'm all the way down to the bottom of chat. I'm just going to read some of the stuff. Case map, which is what gives what gives us such freedom to really learn now. Yeah, for sure. Second thing, what she just said, the biggest problem with my stepdaughter, middle school, is that she learns too fast. School is not challenging her. So she gets bored with it quick. Yeah, that's most of my students, by the way. That's the reason most of my students, a lot of people where I start initially working with them when they don't even know how to add a subtract. The only reason they don't know that because they got bored early on, right? Once you teach them that, El Rapido, right? Feet, feet, feet. There's a 40% chance that McDonald's would get my order wrong. So Burger King, I've met her for the longest time. Martin, I love case maps laughing. Obviously, my day is spent differentiating instruction for different students and I can go on. I know how to accommodate any kind of student. I really think, okay, I'll always be making. That's good. To be honest, if I didn't have math discord, I would have never discovered, figured out some stuff. Want to went to tutor at school and they were bad at explaining and were other and were other students. Community college tries to save money any way possible. Yeah, thumb. It's the financialization of our education system, which is one of the major problems that we face. Right? It's horrendous. It's horrendous. Community college colleges are not super well funded. So I sort of understand it, but I watched a lot of my fellow students struggling because they didn't have the resources. Yeah. Yeah, there's a lot of kids sitting there just dying, hoping that they'll encounter someone that will help them learn the material. Right? And at some point, you know, if they can't find someone to learn that material, they find they come across people that are teaching something else and they go in that direction. Right? Some of it is indoctrination. Chicho, it's random problems with totally incorrect solutions like the education system soaked while nuts. Okay. Easier for the tummy. I just want people to want to learn. It's difficult to force that on a lot of people and what you want doesn't necessarily have to be the way things should be always be making. Right? And this situation, sometimes people just want to do, right? They don't want to learn. They just want to apply what they already know. Right? So we shouldn't have to force learning on them. We just have to accommodate people in a way that they can fulfill whatever desires that they have in a productive way. Right? In a, in something that contributes to their lives in a beneficial way. Right? And this situation has made me feel like it's too late for some students. I disagree. It's not too late for some students. Some people will fall through cracks and they won't come back. Right? Maybe, maybe usually it's because either they're angry or too apathetic. It's seldom because they're too lazy. Sometimes, sometimes. I don't want to want that to be true. And so I'm trying to scrabble, scrabble at them and try to get them engaged. And I'm trying my best. And it's just not enough. So always be making. I know you're teaching with an essentialized education system. Right? So you're limited on the discussion you can have. But have you put it out there for them to say, Hey, listen, in this, in this session, we're going to talk about what you guys have in mind. Right? What is occupying your thoughts? I don't know if that's even allowed with an essentialized educational system. But sometimes I do that with my students. I stop teaching a math and I say, Hey, what are you doing? What are your thoughts? What's, what's going on? Any concerns and slowly let them talk, right? Because one thing preteens and teens need to do is they need to talk. I swear some of the sessions I have, it's just them telling me about the love that they have for this game and how they encounter it and how they play a game. And what I do as they're telling me a story, I plant seeds about mathematics, right? So I'm not teaching them math. I'm explaining to them while they're telling me a story, how mathematics is crucial in their lives, right? Or in their game. So Chisho, you're an educator. How do you split the difference between making education affordable and paying educators well enough to incentivize them to stay in the system and teach? Chisho, how are you? Welcome, welcome. I don't try to incentivize educators to stay within a system, okay? I don't think the system is the solution. I've met a lot of educators in the last 20 years, right? For the first five years or so, I worked with them within the system. After that, I told every educator, you need to be online. I've been telling every educator I've met for the last at least 15 years that they need to have a presence online. They need to be online, okay? Because the centralized education system has completely collapsed and they need to be able to educate people who are interested in educating as well as those that they encounter that are falling through the cracks of our centralized education system, okay? So as far as the affordability goes, I'm doing what I'm doing. This is a business model for me, by the way. I do want to make sure that this is sustainable, that I can do this for the rest of my life, exactly what I'm doing here, creating videos, having discussions, creating mathematics, but it hasn't been, and I've been doing this for 15 years, 14 years, right? And that hasn't prevented me, okay? It has affected my life in a certain degree that I've financed wise, you know? Okay, let me put it this way. I haven't chased the carrot. I haven't gone in the direction to make myself millions of dollars. I've gone in the direction to make sure I'm having an effect on our society. I'm helping people out, okay? I'm teaching mathematics. I'm building a long-term business model. It links up to our personal finance stuff, right? Long-term business model where I'm doing a lot of work on the front end, hopefully for it to pay off in the long and down the road, right? So all educators right now have to have that in mind. If you really want to teach, if you're here for the reasons that I believe in my opinion, most educators should be there for, right? There's a lot of people that are in our central educational system. They're there to get their a job, to be paid, to be in a position of authority, to do this, to do this, to do this, to do this. There are a lot of educators in the education system that are there for the right reasons, as Krishnamurti said. They're there for the love of it, right? To make sure they're allowing students to be who they want to be, right? Without indoctrination, right? Without submitting to authority, right? So teaching within the system, not possible. I wouldn't try to encourage any teacher, any educator to teach within the system. If anything, I would encourage them to come out of the system. As far as becoming financially independent, it's a difficult road. But it's a battle well worth fighting, really. It's huge. One of the benefits that I get by doing this, that I've been able to reach, is to be able to put my head down at night and sleep soundly. My conscience is clear, right? That to me is worth all the golden, what's that saying, all the golden? Well, there's no gold in the vaults in some of the central banks, but all the gold in the ground, right? Always be making chicho. There's no forcing in my statement. I want them to trust me enough to believe me that they can do it. My job is not to teach chicho. My job is to facilitate learning, to cultivate what is really there. For sure, always be making. So how are you going to achieve that, right? One of the things you have to do, like for example, have you honestly told your students that the centralized education system completely sucks? It's horrendous, but it's something, that piece of paper that they need to have. Every single one of my students that I have worked with over the last 20 years has heard me say, our centralized education system completely sucks. It has failed our societies. That is the reason that I am teaching them, right? Otherwise they wouldn't need my help, but that doesn't lift the burden on them to educate themselves and to make sure they get that piece of paper coming out of high school, because if they don't, they are idiots, okay? Like really, I don't care if they're in grade seven, grade six and seven, I take it a little easy. High school students, every single one of them has heard me say this, and the students that I work with that are in grade six and seven, right? They graduate to high school, once they get into high school, they hear me say that as well. You have to be honest with your students. It's not about just creating a nice place for them to learn, you have to be honest with them, because the kids know what's wrong, right? If they're not able to put their finger on it, they know something is systematically wrong. So maybe change the way you're interacting with students, talk to them about their problems, their issues. I do, I have to, right? I'm pre-med in my mid-30s, originally obtained a degree in social work. Wow, social work is burnout rate, it's huge, controls them. What subject are you teaching? A case man asks, always been making. I teach engineering and manufacturing and physics. And amazing courses, by the way, always been making. Like, oh, wow, wow, wow, right? Coolio, do you think that general education subjects are important? The only two courses that are important, Coolio, as far as I'm concerned, in school, right? In school, that everybody has to excel in, or your natural language, whatever English, whatever it is that you're learning, and mathematics. Because if you are able to read and write your natural language very well, and you understand the language of mathematics very well, then all the other subjects you can learn inside out, okay? Those are the two core that need to be in every student's curriculum, all the way to grade 12. As far as I'm concerned, our education system should be able to teach everyone all of high school mathematics, right? Aside from that, there are some key courses that I would recommend everybody take. One of them is earth sciences. As far as I'm concerned, earth science should also be mandatory for everyone. We live on this planet, we better understand how this planet is structured, right? And other subjects as well, right? Finance being one of them, right? Not wall street finance, true finance, right? Some good teachers have retired from another job and decided to teach or new teachers that haven't been worn down by the system. The ones who did it for the paycheck and were five plus years in, they didn't have the motivation and always were tired and defeated. I knew teachers sleeping in their cars, teachers' wages in the United States is horrible based on the cost of education. Trump, I agree with you, 100%. Like one of the reasons, like I can, here's the reason I didn't go into the centralized education system. And you have to appreciate, by the way, where I come from, like for me to be able to do what I did online, what I'm doing here, I took a serious pay cut. I can't explain to you guys what kind of a pay cut I took, right? Just to let you know, I've had heavyweight championship tickets sent to me in the 1990s from Las Vegas, inviting me to go down to world heavyweight championship boxing matches with room, board, entertainment, all everything paid for. So I was living that type of lifestyle. And when I decided to go to do this, I went pay level here, down to here, right? It's not that I regret it and I don't regret it. It's one of the best decisions I ever made in my life, right? The reason being is I'm not defeated as Trump says, right? But one of the reasons I didn't go into the centralized education system was, if I was going to take a pay cut like that, right? There's no way I was going to do it for a centralized system because I looked at how much teachers were being paid and I went, that is insane. There is no way I'm willing to do the type of work that is required to be able to teach students for that pay and to be submissive to authority myself. They had to be out of their minds, right? So it took me a week to decide that. I looked at the numbers. I looked at this. It wasn't even a week. Within a couple of hours I'm looking, I don't even know, man. That ain't where I'm going. I'm going in a different direction, right? So yeah, there's a lot of defeated people in their current education system. Get out. Get out. The tools are available at your disposal right now. You might take a pay cut. You might have to downsize. Figure it out. Figure it out. You won't believe the demand for math tutors right now, right? When I first started, there wasn't too much tutoring going on, right? But as it's progressed, as our education system has completely collapsed even further and further, once you get a foothold in your community, you build trust and people know that you're an amazing teacher and that's the way it should be, right? It should be word of mouth. This crappy teacher should not be able, should not have the opportunity to teach classes of students, because they suck the life out of students, right? But once, if you're good, if you care, if there's love in your education, right? Once the word of mouth goes out, you be overwhelmed by how many people want your services, right? But it might take time to get up to that level. Make sure you have the finances and the sanity, all right, and the mental ability to see you through that period, right? And if it's not working for you, adjust, adjust, adjust. We're in flux right now. Teachers should be paid more, but their motivation and incentive should be changing the world by making a well-informed populace, agreed with Yuculio, and teachers should be paid more. As far as I'm concerned, what the pay rate is, or what is 20 years ago when I looked into it, for teachers, right? For me, there's no way I would have even gone there if it wasn't five times what it was. Because as far as I was concerned, the work that I wanted to put into teaching was not here, it was five times here. They weren't even in the right ballpark, right? In terms of what they offered, in terms of finances, for me to be able to put my heart, soul into the project, like not even close, should they be paid more? They should be paid multiple times more than what they're offering, right? And there should be mechanisms in place that if someone is not meeting their obligations of teaching, they should hit the road, right? I'm hard on both fronts because education, right, is crucial for our societies. The reason we're in this mess right now is because of the failures or the successes of our centralized education system and successes I'm counting because the centralized system wanted or the population to be indoctrinated, to be dumbed down, to believe what authority capital was telling them, right? So I say our centralized education system has completely collapsed according to my perspective. According to centralized power, centralized capital, it is functioning exactly the way they have designed it to function, to enslave the population, to make them dependent on the centralized power. My mother is a teacher and my father has a teaching degree, though he never used it in education career. I can't argue with that. The educators I remember are the ones that work within the system but taught well beyond the constraints of the centralized system, yeah. Chicho, every day I do, every day Chicho, I'll always be making, I feel your brother. I can't offer you comfort and advice. You're within the system. It's a tough place to be, brother. The geologist wants everyone to learn earth science of course, of course. Always making Chicho. I'm telling you, we have discussions on philosophy, centralized education, how to learn, why we learn, how to seek truth, religion, politics, even in my engineering courses. We are honest and genuine and we tell the truth and I thought that we had that relationship. You can imagine my sadness, oh brother, when nobody came in the end, oh brother, I feel you. Always be making, look, don't be disheartened. This is new. This is, like, you've been, you started this thing up. I know what you would have gone in there with, right? Your hopes and your dreams and aspirations and you did this hard work to make sure you were available for and they didn't show, right? They didn't show. It's a hard hit to take, but don't lose your faith, right? Don't lose that inspiration you had to do this. Work with what you have, the students that you have. They don't show. Tell them, listen, gang, I'm putting my heart and soul into this. You need to show up to these things. How can I accommodate you? I know you're saying you've done all this, right? So the only thing I could say is hopefully within, with time, it'll sort itself out. But keep in mind, you're doing this at a time where the stresses in our society are enormous. You're doing this at a time where it's a global pandemic, right? Where 2 billion people are under lockdown. People are freaking out. Who knows what their home lives are like, right? So don't expect things to happen right away. Really, right? I'm going to scroll down again, gang. I'm going to scroll down again. Just get down to the bottom. Big battle shouldn't be fat truth bombs tonight, Gicho. Tell them. Yeah, case man, it's education. It's ridiculously important. What's up, Gicho? Jik 7, how are you doing? What's up, everyone? Welcome to another live stream. People who don't understand history will never understand themselves. Yeah, we need to know our history, as case man says. We need to know. And true history, not indoctrination, right? I'm interested to learn from your work. I would appreciate it if you share it somehow. BS 20. Case man, how do we educate the masses without the centralized system? We have to decentralize everything. We have to offer freedom to everyone. The centralized system right now is centralized indoctrination. How teaching is done is top-down model. That doesn't work, right? We need it to be bottom-up model. What do kids want to learn? Provide them the platforms for them, the space for them to learn what they want to learn, right? That's the way the model I'm using to create the math content, right? What I need to teach. So for example, I need to teach ratios. Like ratios are huge, right? I need to teach ratios. One of the most important things that we need to get out of high school mathematics, right? And it's super simple. So what have I done for that? I created a series of mathematics on food and farming with friends that had a CSA that had a farm, right? And I didn't know anything about food like farming anyway. So I learned that stuff and I linked it up with ratios. I created a initial series anyway about the mathematics of art and design and talked about perspectives, right? So my idea of teaching mathematics, units and ratios, is not teaching units and ratios, is creating modules to teach people what they want to teach while overlaying that with units and ratios, right? That's why I call it math and real life, right? That's what the thesis of my work is, the modules, the math modules I want to create. I want someone to be able to go online and say they want to learn how to grow food, right? And once they do that, do little rudimentary research, they'll know that, okay, they need to learn a little bit of mathematics to be able to do their crop layouts and do the planning and do the financing and organizing and all this jazz to be able to be a farmer, right? So they'll go online and go, growing food, farming, math. And when they press enter, I want one of the top searches to be, once we finish putting it together, a module offered by Chicho on math and real life, right? That teaches people the mathematics they need to have to know to be able to be a farmer, right? I don't want to teach people mathematics for them to go out and learn to be a farmer. I want people who want to learn to be a farmer to learn the mathematics the other way around, right? That's my thesis. I don't know if I answered that, but I lost the question. It scrolled down. Oops. Hello, how are you doing? I'll tell you what I miss about sending the kid to school five days a week is daytime childcare. Just imagine the stressed parents are in with their preteen and teen kids being home all the time. And they're crawling on the walls and they're freaking out because they can't get together with their friends, right? Found it. Thanks, brother. Awesome. I believe I have the power to help anyone learn or do anything. Together we can do anything and there's power in that. Always be making, I don't agree with your statement. I'm phenomenal as you know, right? When it comes to teaching mathematics, but I can't teach everyone, right? I don't have a hundred percent success rate. I got like a 95 percent success rate, which is phenomenal, right? But I can't teach everyone. There isn't a single teacher that can teach everyone in the world. It doesn't work that way. So that's something I learned right off the bat. I tried my heart and soul with some students, man. I'd lost some students, right? Unfortunate. Sometimes it was because of mistakes. I made the wrong thing I said at the wrong time, right? Sometimes it was on them. Sometimes it was on both of us, right? So I don't think I have the ability to teach everyone, but I have the ability to teach many people, right? I think all schools should be dependent, financial, independent financial institutions where students pay to go the, to go go some kids of insurance and savings program. Martin, I agree in large part, right? Unfortunately, our current education system, our current economic system is so, has so devastated our populace that a lot of people can barely afford to buy food, let alone pay for education. For example, because of what's gone, what's gone on with COVID with pandemic and all of these unemployment in the United States, the numbers were 30% right of people missed their monthly rent payments in April or they were late with it. What the crap, right? 30% of people were either late or missed their April rent payments. After two, three weeks of this thing, really the wave coming into the United States, that's a completely collapsed society as far as I'm concerned. And that's not just the United States, that's across the board. Okay. So it's going to take time for us to reach your level, the level that you're mentioning, Martin. And by the way, Martin, this is the business model I have. Let me tell you one of the inspirations I had to do what I'm doing, what I have been doing for the last 15 years online. Okay. Back in the late 1980s, and I have a, I've planned on making videos of what my inspirations are for my business model that I'm following and why I got into education and why I think it is sustainable. Okay. In the late 1980s, I watched a documentary on an, on a priest in India. Okay. It inspired me. It stuck with me and I have, it's one of my two go-to motivation thoughts that I need to keep me going. Okay. And I haven't been able to find that documentary. I saw it once. That was it. It planted a seed and that really was one of the catalysts that gave birth to Chicho. Okay. Or the Chicho platform that you see before you. Right. This priest, in the interview, they asked him what he was doing. And this is what he was in charge of. He had a school in India. Okay. And all puns aside and any conspiracies and all that, forget about that stuff. We're talking genuine. Take it, take it with beauty, not negativity. Right. So this priest had a, had a school. It started off with showing this priest having a school in India and there is, it's sort of a boarding school. Right. And it's about orphaned kids, specifically orphaned boys. Right. Males. Right. And this school at the time, back in the late 1980s, was graduating like, I don't know, 20 to 30 kids a year or 12 or 15 to 25 kids a year or something like this. And the interview was being conducted in the court. Like it was a sort of a closed off school. And there was court in the middle where all the kids were playing around. And there were some older, older men there too that were, they were interviewing the, the priest. And they were interviewing some of his graduates that had graduated over the last couple of decades from the school. Right. And they were talking to them and saying, what's going on here? Who is this person and stuff like this? And what the priest said, I don't know if it was a priest or one of the kids that had graduated and he was successful in business and he had hired people and stuff. Right. So this school was set up to teach orphaned and street kids. Right. And specifically male. So they interviewed the priest and the priest said, yeah, I came to India and I set up a parish here and I looked around me and the homeless kids all around us were incredible. So he said, I started off, I took three kids in. Okay. I started off with three kids that were homeless, three boys that were homeless. Okay. And there were more. Right. He said there were a lot more that needed his help, but all he could do was focus on three. He goes, I started off with three kids in the 1960s or something. He did this and he made sure they were getting the education they needed. They were getting the food they needed and they were getting the shelter they needed to be able to grow, become educated and go live their lives as free human beings. Right. So he started off with three students after two decades. He had this huge school set up. Right. Or medium sized school set up and he was educating, I think at the time was like 200 kids that were living there, eating there, learning there, graduating. And throughout that time kids have graduated. And the way he was getting his funding was as kids were graduating, they were setting up, you know, companies or they were going working somewhere and making money and they were sending money back to the school. Right. So the funding for this school, for this priest's project was coming, was fully sustainable through all of the graduates that had already gone through his school and they were grateful to this priest. Right. That is my business model. That is the business model. I think every educator online should work towards. Right. Doesn't make a difference how many people you start off with. Start off. Offer that platform. Offer this education. Right. For me, the way I look at it is you have over, you could imagine how many people have told me over the years that how grateful they are of what I've provided online. Right. Even if a small fraction of those people come back and start supporting this project, I can do this indefinitely forever, as well as have extra funds available to be able to expand and make sure we're taking care of other things. That is one of the business models I have always been making. That's, I would recommend to be one of the main core building blocks of your business model. It takes time. A lot of heart and soul, brother. Okay. Case, man. Should be teaching every student in the world. I don't necessarily think that's true. Everyone is not the same as everyone. It's a matter of facilitation. It's conditional, of course. It's conditional, of course. I was taking you literally, by the way, always be making. That was supposed to be a B, not a man with sunglasses. I'd like the man with the sunglasses. I'm not losing my passion for facilitating learning. I'm trying to pivot to an online presence or let someone else talk now. Awesome. Always be making. I think you're doing the right things. It's just you're going through major growing pains right now. That is a nice thing to always be making. You're awesome. Awesome. That is a nice thing to say. I don't feel awesome. You should feel awesome. Everyone should feel awesome, really. Support your choice. Thanks, case, man. Always making. My parents paid for my education. Now, all my friends who went to government school don't seem to be equal to me later in life. Real motto, you get what you pay for. To a certain degree, Martin, I agree with you. And pay for not necessarily just with funds, but with your time and energy. You won't believe how many of my friends when we're graduating, when we're going through high school, I would tell them, look, man, just learn math. Learn math. Put the time and effort in. A lot of people didn't. That shows up. That shows up. That education pays in the long run. It's front end work. That's a red herring. A person's salary is more closely related to the parents' income rather than to what school they went to. For now, always be making. But it's something that shouldn't restrain people. It can limit people. I really wish more people understood statistics and exponential growth. Case, man, 100%. Statistics is one of the core things I would focus on in high school education if I was to build, and I am, building a curriculum. Statistics should be one of the main key chapters, sections, that is taught starting in grade 8, going all the way to grade 12, while not soaked in water. Very good. Really easy to digest. And delicious. A little bit of munchies goes a long way. By the way, always be making. Is this conversation sort of going in the right direction or addressing some of the things you wanted to talk about? A good foundation of stats leads into a fundamental understanding of the social sciences, which is my passion. And business and economics and politics. Everything. Statistics is layered everywhere. Logic. I wasn't talking about money. I'm just playing more intelligent, better social skills and knowledge base. This thing is so addictive. The crunch crunch is so awesome. Always been making. I've had underlying anxiety about my status as a classroom teacher for a while now. Yeah. I can imagine, brother, if you are to create a new educational system, how would you visualize it for how long? If that's to me, BS 20 for how long forever? Okay. And I have a couple of videos I'm going to putting out that I need to shoot regarding the model that I want or the website, the platform that I want, which is basically module based of what skills you want to learn, right? So what skills you want to learn, you create a little intro for that. And you have a, what do you call it? A data set here, which is your videos and your content, your macros that you can embed into the process that you need to go through to be able to learn to grow food, right? And then all the macros would come in and all the different modules or different macros linked up in this module of how to teach mathematics, right? Or how to grow food in the mathematics, the syntax is embedded in there. Always been making through a big question in there, mate. Let's go kick, kick it into the stratosphere options. Let's consider online platform plus public libraries and market spaces for students to go to plus community expert network. So always be making, let's consider an online platform plus public live libraries and markets, market spaces for students to go to plus community expert network. Always be making phenomenal, right? You have the resources, the, the, the tools that anybody would need to be able to learn, right? What I meant with how long is what you need before you start learning on your own. Everybody's different. BS 20, everybody's different. And it depends what they want to learn. And what your dedication is, how much time you're going to put into what you want to learn, right? So everybody's different. That's the key, right? The platforms just have to be available, the tools ready for people to learn at whatever pace they want to learn, right? The problem with our current centralized education system, one of the core problems with our current centralized education system, it's providing the same pace of learning for everyone. Oh my God, how ridiculous, the same pace for every kid. What insanity is that, right? Case man, what age do you think we can start letting kids choose what they want to learn as ASAP, kindergarten, math and English. There are two things you have to teach them from kindergarten and the rest of it you provide options. What do they want to do? I'm finding that my daughter needs a certain degree of structure to flourish. And yeah, you need structure for sure, right? But the structure can be there while you give them a choice to learn, right? The structure doesn't have to be there specifically for this thing, right? The structure is the steps they need to take to be able to learn whatever they need to take. The math and the English mandatory, kids have to take that, right? The rest of it, if they want to learn how to cook, then you teach them how to cook. But make sure that you're showing them recipes and then modify the recipes. You make one batch and then make one and a half batches. So they learn fractions as well at the same time. So you have to do unit conversion, right? Figure out what the ratios are. Right there, they're cooking, they learn math. So that's the model I would do, right? What do you mean by macros? Do you have more information about this written somewhere? I've talked about it. I haven't written it down. Now while I have sort of and sort of not, I would have to go through, I've had, I've been blogging for 15 years, right? I've written a lot. So I don't, I can't remember if I made videos of this thing or written it down, but make basically macros like this, right? So for example, let's take cooking food, right? So kid wants to learn cooking, right? From kindergarten, right? They want to learn cooking. They want to learn how to make cookies, right? So you ask them what type of cookie you want to make. Chocolate chip cookies. I want to make chocolate chip cookies. Okay, great. Okay. Let's bring up a chocolate chip cookie recipe and you go online, find chocolate chip cookie recipes and pick the one that they want to do. Which one do you want? Oh, I want to do this one. Okay, great. You got the recipe. You know, two cups of flour, the half a cup of chocolate chips and all this jazz, right? And then you say, okay, now we don't want to make one batch if we want to make cookies. Let's make cookie for your group. Let's say you're teaching in groups or let's make cookies for the whole family. You want to make lots of cookies? Chocolate? Yes, let's make lots. So let's make three times the batch. Okay, great. Okay. We have to calculate what it is. Oh, how do we do that? Great. Here's your macro unit conversion. You embed the unit conversion, right? So the introduction, the purpose of this module is to make chocolate chip cookies. So you go through, you pick it, you go through the routine, pick the recipe you want and to be able to learn that, you need to learn how to do cross multiplication, proportionality and you don't, it doesn't have to be long. There could be short lessons, right? They could learn it in like 15 minutes as long as they know their multiplication, right? If they don't know multiplication, you embed the multiplication macro. So when you embed the macro for unit conversion, when the kids are going through and you say, okay, proportionality means this ratio has to be equivalent to this ratio. You set an equal sign and if you want to make three batches because this was one batch, then you put X, this is what you need to find and you go, well, what does this mean, this equal sign? Oh, you don't know how to move around an equal sign. Oh, let me show you that. How to move around an equal sign. That's your macro right there. So interactive way for someone to learn. Okay. That's what I mean. So math and real life, right? And this is the way I've modeled my all the videos, all the math content I have, I have two websites, math and real life, language of mathematics. If you type in math and real life.com and language of mathematics.com, or the language of mathematics.com, I can't remember, they'll take you to my blog spot page, right? So one is the language of mathematics. And the other one, which I call the language of mathematics is the syntax of the language. Those are the two things that I've been teaching. The ASMR math stuff sort of goes in between the two, right? So that's what I've been doing. That's the model I'm following. Way to dust. I hope that makes sense, right? Everybody's different. To me, say, we need smaller class sizes, we need smaller class sizes. There's no doubt about that. And all those politicians and economists that come up, no, you can do class size doesn't matter. They're talking out of their ass, okay? As soon as someone says that, just dismiss almost everything else they say, because they're talking garbage, right? You can let Cheryl learn the side when they are four years old or even earlier. I agree with always been making. And that's in reply to Kace when asking, how old can they be? 100% agree with always been making. As soon as they want to learn something, teach it to them, all right? They want to learn how to play with fire, teach them about fire, okay? With the advancements of AI, future AI will be able to autonomous adjustment to student abilities and schedule to help them reach the destination. We're about 20 to 30 years away from that. So for me, I'm into doing this. And the macros, the way I modeled what I want to build, that is part of, and I wouldn't call the AI, it's just automation, right? Machine learning or modules, I guess. Oh, someone went. Good night. Who left? Someone went to sleep. Good night. I just found this Andre, how are you doing? This seemingly interesting stream. Quick resume on what's going on. Seemingly. I hope you're enjoying it if you're still around. I'm going to scroll down again. Chicho. Oh, there's a chicho one there. Oh, there's two chichos there. Very clever way to do it. Sneaking macros in through practical use. 100% way to dust. That's the way I've been teaching for 20 years, right? But I've been doing it individually and I know how to do it and I know what it takes. It's brilliant. You support this work? Here's my Patreon page. If you like what you see, if you like what I'm talking about, follow our work through Patreon. If you have the means, support this work through Patreon. Support this work through Twitch. Support this work through YouTube. Joining YouTube. I'm saying this now, going a little bit hardcore because we're in times of shift taking place. I got a lot of content on there. It's a good time to roll it into the next phase. And I'm excited to do so. Especially with these live streams. It's fantastic. Chicho IQ has to be. No, brother. Voidok. Chicho is exactly right. If a student wants to learn X, you do everything you can to help them follow that path and you inject wisdom into whatever it is they want to do in many subjects. The world is a beautiful place full of air complexity and mixed subjects. That's what it means to facilitate learning. You find ways to facilitate growth based on a child's interest. That's it. That's education. That's what education should be. But it isn't right now our centralized education system. I'll always be making you're the kind of person I always love to have as a teacher. That's a beautiful philosophy and it helps people so much. 100 percent. Case man. Case man and Martin. It all comes down to a philosophical debate I had with myself about what is necessary to have learning and what is necessary to have school. Very little it turns out. I definitely feel like, so Andre, I definitely feel like when we're separated into smaller groups in college that everyone feels more comfortable and confident about participating. Engagement and attention levels are just way higher personally. You feel it's more personal. With a full group, there's always such a disconnect. There's always such a disconnect. Chicho, me and the other mods would like to nominate, always be making for mod status. Dundio, let's do. Second, if you'd like a sword, always Dundio, always be making. If you like a sword, are you cool with this? Keep in mind, we're very tolerant. Initially, we barely did any banning. We do a little bit more banning now just because our channel's grown more. Sometimes we're getting a lot of activity. Sometimes less so. There's a little bit of troll activity. Gets ready for nights. We need to always be making to confirm. Sure, I know how to take care of business. Awesome, always be making and be kind. Don't kill people right off the bat. Sometimes we're all frustrated, right? But mod always be making. You've added always be making as a moderator on this channel and we'll do it on Discord as well. So just remind us to do it on Discord and I'll give you the mod status on Discord as well, brother. Okay? So hard to go. Awesome. Welcome to the welcome to the gang, right? The Chichonians. Everybody's a Chichonian, right? Oh my god. And you got to eat healthy. Welcome, welcome, Kulio says. That's nice. Thanks. Awesome. So, Caseman, Andre, I was invited into a small group, group environment in college with the Honors College program and it was absolutely wonderful. But it's what I wish everyone's college experience was, but it is because I already proved I could engage with the school on their terms. And Caseman, the odds are you were social. There are a lot of kids, a lot of people that aren't very social, right? Because they've been burnt or society's too overwhelming or they just want to be in their own world. Those people need to be, you know, we have to provide the platform for them to be able to take advantage of small groups and slowly bring them into the fold. Our current education system doesn't do it. I dub these always. I dub these, sir, always be making. Yeah. Brilliant people that just can't be social, which is slowly, if things turn sour, they become bitter and closed off. And it doesn't go nice after that. I'm addicted to walnuts right now. Really? I'm going crazy with them. The goal, obviously, would be to give those students the options they need, because if they don't get those options, they grow resentful. Yeah. And unfortunately, I've seen some students, you know, life just knocks them around just because they resisted. And sometimes, sometimes, this is how brutal life is. They could be on a good path. They're changing. All of a sudden, something happens where they revert back to where they were, maybe a year or two years before that, right? The longer they stay hopeful and learning and look forward to the future, the harder it is to knock them down to a level where they weren't participating. But it can happen, right? Because life is brutal. So one of the things I do try to explain to my students as well is life is brutal. You have to grow thick skin, right? You have to grow thick skin. It's unfortunate, but we do, right? The real social problem, way to dust, the real social problem for me was less about the relation with students, but with teachers absolutely agree about bitterness. It's easy to fall into this when you don't relate with your teachers. Yeah. And I've had some crappy teachers, like I haven't had too many good teachers, like really, like I maybe count like five, if that, right? Okay, smart. I'm a medicine student, Andre. I'm a medicine student. So some of the practice teachings impose a necessity for smaller and smaller groups for a number of reasons. But yeah, I'm sure if that was the case with me my entire life, I'd be way more compelled to pay attention to certain classes and just be more open. Yeah. Andre, I get into classes with premed students in the honors college. Some of the most driven people I've ever met nice. Bad teachers ruin good subjects. Bad teachers ruin good subjects. Mathematics being one of them. How many? I've had, I almost didn't go the way of mathematics because of one bad teacher. Really amazing. Golden God. Honestly, I feel like I'm fortunate. Almost all my life teachers were great. Oh, you are very fortunate. I always hear about nightmare teachers, but I've never experienced it really. You're very, very fortunate. You are fortunate. Always be making sense. Be sure to pay it forward. However you can 100% from New York. Worst professor I ever had was a math professor at community college. Holy arc. Still makes me cringe now. Imagine a timeline without a math teacher. I'd be making those political videos that so many people make that are yelling at the screen saying the world is ending. The world is ending. Which I am, but in ASMR format. Andre, teaching is a technique that hasn't been refined and mastered, so to speak. In my perspective, the problem is for the amount of people that go through high school and universities currently, there isn't a good logical way to accomplish an ideal environment for learning. I think there is, Andre. We have to completely redesign our education system. It exists. It's called smaller class sizes, better quality of life for teachers that includes higher pay for teachers. More facilities for kids to learn. Basically, our communities have to invest in education. They don't. They think investment is paying taxes to a centralized government that's 2,000 miles away. That's not investing in education or in education as provincial in Canada. Or paying taxes to a centralized institution that gives more of a rat's ass to building pipelines in the oil industry than it does about educating the youth, the future generations. That is completely corrupt, flawed system. If we were to tutor people on an individual basis, that would be a nightmare. It doesn't have to be individual, but it could be in groups of 5 or 10. 10 max, 5 preferably, and it wouldn't be a nightmare. And it wouldn't be a nightmare. We are all teachers. Really. We are all teachers. What if, Andre, you said you're in a medical field. What if you were given the opportunity for one day a week for two hours to facilitate teaching if you so desired? Right? We should all be teaching. But we're not. We've made this category of teacher saying, this is a teacher. This is the only one that should be allowed to teach. What type of garbage is this? Right? You need this piece of license to teach an essentialized institution controlled by an authoritarian, capitalistic, financialized system that puts profits ahead of education. Right? How come we don't have a system available where a centralized location, right, where the people in the community who may be carpenters, electricians, plumbers, financiers, bankers, and all these people can say, Hey, I want to teach a course for a four month period about how to do trading on the stock market. And I want to do it because I love it. So you enter, you know, sign up with this location, this community program, where I guess you would have a board members that approve people teaching certain classes. Right? There is no centralized curriculum that is instilled on the community from a location that has zero interest in that community. Right? That just wants to possibly indoctrinate the whole society. Right? So just imagine this community, this town, this city, this province that has central locations, buildings where people in the workforce in the community can set up their own programs to teach anyone that wants to learn. Uh, would they be doing it for money? Maybe they could charge whatever they want. Right? Really, some people might do it for free. Right? So some people might decide to hold two classes, teaching the same thing. One of them is, you know, sign up for $500 for four month program. And the other one, free for people who can't afford it. Right? Your choice. Pay as you go. Whatever it is, we could do so much more than what we have. It's just lack of imagination of our centralized institution or communities that we don't have things like the setup or barely things like the setup. Why aren't we doing this? Right? And those slowly what you'll find out is a lot of members of your community, of your society, will really be driven to do this more and more. And then slowly what you'll find out is, you know, small segment of that community that has signed up to teach courses, they're actually building curriculums centered around what they want to teach. Right? So someone that wants to be an electrician can sign up for a program and an electrician that is working in the community for construction sites or whatever it might be. Right? All of a sudden they reduce the amount of work that they do. They go on site to wire a complex and have their work will be teaching people that want to learn. Right? Apprentice. Right? Martin, thank you very much for the sub. Right? Why not? There's so many ways we could do these things. Right? I'm going to scroll down again. Chichu would never be an Earth's president. Too much centralized power, too much strength, and I would have no desire. I'd be a dictator. Martin, oh God, I have betrayed my Chichu. What did you do, Martin? There's an alternative universe where Chichu is worth president and the world is what we all want to know. It wouldn't be, trust me, it wouldn't be, not everyone. Maybe us Chichonians would appreciate it. I'm pretty sure some people would not. We get massive resistance. I think I need more badges. To honor honor means everything to me. Right? We should make more badges. Ah, case man, gift us up tomorrow. Nice, nice. Thanks, case man. If anyone's interested in learning more of this stuff, there's an author I really like, Kolfi Khan, really a good foundation, awesome always be making. And for me, Krishnamurti, read the book Krishnamurti and Krishnamurti's Education on the Significance of Life. And the other person that I've read his work and I've watched his interviews, highly recommended is John Taylor Gato. Okay? So read the book Krishnamurti, Krishnamurti's Education and the Significance of Life, highly recommended. Every parent, every teacher, every human being in our society should read that. Right? And John Taylor Gato, fantastic. Work within the system and has a lot of critique of the system. Doesn't YouTube, in a way, provide that? All you need is time, computers and access to the internet. No, it used to. Mad, mad king. But YouTube is now censoring independent educators. Or, well, it is sort of censoring, because it kicked in a platform, they kicked in AI, where it, for education, it was promoting more established, centralized channels. Right? So for example, me, that was one of the first people creating math educational videos on YouTube, because I am independent, a lot of the time, my math content is not being recommended anymore. Right? Because in the last two years, YouTube kicked in their algorithms to only promote, like Caught Academy and some of the bigger boys. Right? So just imagine, if you want to learn, if YouTube is mainly promoting all of those big Wall Street backed, some of them are independent, no, don't get me wrong, I'm not trash talking though. Right? But it's only limiting the search recommendations to all the big channels, then the independent creators don't get the audience that they require to be able to teach. Right? So YouTube, no, I disagree. YouTube is highly filtered and censored now. Right? So if you're independent, you're being knocked down. Like, trust me, the views on my videos, math videos that are coming out, they're, my views were higher when I had 10,000 subscribers, while I have 30,000 subscribers now. Right? So the videos I was putting out on math, my, my views are down to the level where I had 10,000 or less subscribers. Right? YouTube, Google is a very, very, very, they do very, very bad, bad, bad things. Right? To independent creators, they're bought and paid for a thousand times over. They censor information. That is one of the reasons I have been decentralizing. That's one reason I'm live streaming on Twitch. That's one reason I'm uploading my stuff to Bitshoot. Right? There you go, Seymour. And case man says, that's Spider-Man. No, thank you guys, man. I've read Gato. It's good too. Yeah, really like Gato. It's effectively censoring. Yeah, 100% censoring. I said this in the discord, Google bought, Google bought YouTube so you could feed our, feed our lives that it's AI. So beware. Yeah, 100%. And it's up to us to decentralize from that. Right? Like the one thing I found unfortunate is I haven't had a huge influx of people from YouTube coming on to Bitshoot. The growth on Bitshoot is not as fast as I would like, which is unfortunate, which shows people on YouTube still. And I like YouTube. I use YouTube, right? But I know what YouTube is doing. Okay, so I'm going to work on building the Bitshoot audience more. And here's our Bitshoot and YouTube pages. Let me bring this up. There you go, Bitshoot channel. You want to follow the work? Even though I don't get paid on Bitshoot, I recommend you watch my videos on Bitshoot because YouTube, what YouTube pays? Like, what I'm making off the videos now is on the same level as what I was making eight years ago on YouTube. Right? So not only are there censoring, you're not making the videos, they've reduced the payments they make to independent creators. So they're controlling there as well, right? As far as I'm concerned, Google can go to hell. Well, this concerns me that even the online information is controlled. Oh, for sure. BDS20, huge, huge, huge. The subject does bring to our attention the emergency to optimize these processes within society. The ignorance of so many regarding the current health situation scares me. And hopefully that will open our eyes to that. Andre, I think it's slowly doing it, right? People are basically aware that the system has completely collapsed and is rigged, right? What are we going to do about it? Andre, bringing up a good point for me. I'd like to add to your required curriculum, Chichou, something about being able to tell bullshit from really reality online. Okay, case, man. We'll work on it. Well, mathematics is key, right? Mathematics is the best BS detector you could ever have. It's amazing in terms of visualization, graphs that people share and stuff, and just logic. So mathematics is key to that, is the best BS detector there is. But we'll keep it in mind and maybe start creating content towards that, right? YouTube will always be sending recommended videos that the government want me to see. Well, according to some of my friends, Martin, yeah, my sister-in-law is an ex-English high school teacher, and she's telling me she 100% agrees with Chichou. Ah, Spider-Man, nice, nice. English high school teacher, ex-English high school teacher, yeah. Like I feel for people who've gone into centralized education in the hopes, in the dreams and the desires to teach, right? I consider myself lucky, right? And by the way, just to let you know, I got into doing this by accident. I got into a car accident that took me out of the geophysics game, right? Because it was a severe car accident, and to be able to do geophysics in the field, you have to be 100% tip-top, right? And it knocked me out, so I had to get back on my feet, do my exercises and maintain and all that jazz. So I started teaching and it just snowballed, okay? And I needed to make money, I needed to generate money, right? Google has certain videos that it would rather you be watching. Be aware, be aware, never go to YouTube's front page to get video recommendations. That's just, that's like sitting in a, that's just horrendous. Understanding a threat is the first step to avoiding it, yeah. I'll put a video in the censorship discord that was really informative, elucidating. Okay, cool. I'll always be making. I will watch it straight after stream. Nice, nice, nice. Oh, we're almost two hours, gang. We're almost two hours. Great discussion, by the way, gang. Great discussion. Wow. I had no idea, glad you came out of the accident without being severely hurt. Ah, I was severely hurt. It took a lot of energy to come back, man. This was 2000. I really appreciate doing this topic. Very important, very important always to be making and thank you very much for requesting it, right? We've done a little bit in the past, but we hadn't done one for a while, right? I said a lot that I wanted to say in the previous streams and in the previous videos I put out, but now that we're kicking things into high gear and there's more interaction through the live stream and stuff, always amazing to bring up the discussion, right? As that Star Wars general once said, it's a trap. It's a trap. Are there any sites that one could even recommend to kids? I have some relatives who mostly use YouTube, TikTok, Instagram. All of that is terrible, but my main sites are all too mature for them. Yeah, way, way to, way to dust. Like for example, for me, I have a website where I have a lot of my math content that is linked up to a YouTube channel that I have, which is only the language of mathematics in the math and real life videos, right? I don't have my ASMR math stuff. It was just, I couldn't maintain that site as well as do teacher. I don't, you know, I still have to generate money to pay the rent and stuff like this, right? But like, I would say you can use YouTube, right? But you could direct them towards websites that just have YouTube embedded videos, right? Which is the one I have is mathandreallife.com. But again, it's on, it's linking up to YouTube. Education is the stuff Chicho gets passionate about. Always good content. Thanks, case, man. I love it. Very important as far as I'm concerned. Oh, so sorry. I didn't mean to sound like you weren't heard. I'm glad you got through it, Chicho. That's great. And Spiderman is one of the best things that's ever happened in my life. Crazy thing to say, eh? But it's one of the best things that's happened in my life because it's brought me here, right? Would I be here without that? I doubt it. I doubt it very much. So it's, it's not good or bad. It's just what it was. And where I am, I'm happy. I'm ecstatic of who I am, where I am, my mindset and what I have in life, right? Would I have all of this? It's not all roses. Roses and whatever it is, right? You know, there's stuff, still stuff I'm working towards. But would I be here if it wasn't for that? No. So it's one of the best things that ever happened in my life, right? It's like, well, I won't go down that road. Me too. If you get me started, I can go, go forever on education. Yeah. The main problem is it doesn't sound like people are interested in discussing. It's crazy what path life takes us on. It's crazy, right? You take hits, hard hits sometimes. You just got to lift yourself back up again and keep on going, right? It's a ride. Just a ride, right? Stay on it for as long as you can because you don't know if you're going to come back on it again, right? Let's call this stream gang. It's just a ride. It's just a ride. Good old Bill Hicks, right? Let's call this stream gang. Thank you for being here. If you're interested in what we're doing, we're on Patreon. Okay. It's a great way to support this project. It's a great way to follow the work that we're producing. Okay. We're live streaming this on Twitch. Twitch is a great way to support this project. Great way to follow these things live. If you want to take, participate in the discussion, please note, I don't think there was a notification on Discord to start the stream. Yeah. Sometimes it doesn't go out, right? Unfortunate. That's why I announced it on Twitter, Gabs, Mine, VK, and Elo. Okay. And we're on YouTube and BitShoot. Okay. And in times of pandemics, flatten the curve. I'm going through that speedy Gonzales thought. Thanks, Spider-Man. On a negative point, this stream is going to keep me up all day thinking about whoever is out there who wants to steal my freedom. Awesome. Awesome. True. I didn't see that start notification. So it wasn't sent out. Okay. That's unfortunate. That's unfortunate. Twitch should send them out too. Should they not? I know YouTube is not sending out notifications for a lot of the videos. And if you're watching this on YouTube and BitShoot, turn on notifications. And from what I understand, YouTube has been unsubscribing people from channels. So if you are watching this, and if you like this content, make sure you're still subscribed on YouTube and BitShoot is okay. I'm pretty sure anyway. Subscribe on BitShoot. Turn on notifications. Turn on notifications on Twitch. Follow on Patreon. I announced the streams are scheduled on Patreon. Okay. Aside from that, mods, thank you for being here. Always be making. Welcome to the gang. Thank you for the subs. Thank you for the follows. Thank you for supporting this work. However way you decide to support this work, including through joining on Twitch on YouTube. Give Chichu a couple of bucks on Patreon. Watch his Thanksgiving. I got my own promoter here. Great stream. I mostly just listen. But really good topic to focus on as it is the basis of everything. Yeah, Kulio. It's the foundation. Right. Thanks for the stream. Way to dust. My pleasure. Have a good night and look forward to Easter. Look forward to an amazing weekend. Okay. And we'll be here tomorrow 10 a.m. And we're doing linked up with education as well. Mental health. Okay. It was a request put in with from Dante. And I believe I hope he's here tomorrow because I'm mainly going to be moderating the discussion there tomorrow. And hopefully there'll be some communication. I'll stay up with the chat and I'll give you my comments if there's any questions coming my way. I also second that earlier message for pre-recorded FTC speech. What's an FTC speech? FTC, FTC, FTC. I don't know what an FTC speech is. Okay gang. Have a fantastic, fantastic evening, morning and weekend. Flatten the curve. Flatten the curve. Flatten the curve. Yeah, FTC. Right on. Martin, you and your acronyms. This thing's throw me off big time. Have an amazing night guys. Thanks for the amazing stream. Thanks for the amazing conversation gang. And flatten the curve gang. Take care of your health care providers, health care system. Make sure they're not overwhelmed because you may need them to save your ass. Okay. Bye everyone.
