"Have a lot of nuance. That is correct. And that's all over the document. And I think it's worth saying that, again, I talked about how title 9 is 37 words. The proposal, like the actual regulation from the Biden administration is only a few sentences, but the document explaining the context for that change and the thought process and also the regulatory process that this proposal underwent

Biden Proposes Using Title IX to Stop Trans Athlete Bans
"Keep bringing it on, bringing it on bring it on. I mean, the Biden administration coming out with their brilliant ideas somehow, they're going to create equality for transgenders by threatening to strip any university of their federal funds if they do not allow a transgender to compete on the team that he or she so wants to compete on. So you'll recall, of course, title 9 went into action because the whole idea was that you couldn't be given all the football scholarships to the guys and not have some kind of incentive for girls to be in sports. So instead, they said, all right, if we're going to hand out a $100 million worth of scholarships this year, 50 million is going to go to the girls, 50 million is going to go to the boys, and that way we can do what we can to try and make things a little bit more fair. That's not right. Well, what happens when suddenly those boys say ah, I'm going to swim on the girls team. I'm going to swim on the girls team and now I get the scholarship instead of the girls. According to the Biden administration, you would have to give the guy the scholarship or you would risk losing all that money that you're getting from the federal government, including things like grants, it's really perplexing that Biden thinks that this is good for women. I mean, I don't think I'm going out on a limb here right now. I really don't. I think this is just sort of common sense, but apparently this is like, this is extreme. To say, maybe the guy shouldn't be swimming on the girls team. ESPN, they held Leah Thomas up as their woman to celebrate during women's history month. Leah Thomas, who look at her, I'm sorry. What is this? I mean, as a woman, you can't take any. Testosterone shots. I mean, you can't use steroids to make yourself bigger, but if you're a man, now identifying as a woman, then you're home free.

"Some of that liquidity. You know, we're not going to take much risk here. We need you to give us more liquidity and thus lower interest rates, so everybody is on a on an even playing field with very, very low risk, and indeed he complied. After the Madoff. Debacle. Nonetheless here, we have this interest on required reserves at 1.4%. It's a little bit below below, and you see it doesn't take but 5 weeks. To just match the fed funds target of 1%. So that's interesting. Now they also had another tool as Ben Bernanke called it that was interest on access reserves. This is this slightly less dark red from apologies if it's too dark here, but that's right here, the lower number you can see in the tooltip. What is the interest on excess reserves? At the time that they started this tool, it was 0.75%. Now obviously it is lower than the interest on required reserves because the idea is. As helicopter Ben, Bernanke said, we are going to give you the liquidity, but we don't want you to lend it right back out yet. It's not safe. So we're going to pay you this 1.4% interest on required reserves. But nonetheless, you're still going to have some excess reserves if you have that will give you a lower interest rate. Okay, if you want to hold it with us, but since this is excess reserves, the idea is that you would still want to loan out funds to the economy to try to make just a little bit of a return, you know, and they can be hopefully safe investments. But the idea is that we're going to pay you a little bit less so you'll still engage with lending credit to the economy. That's what they're telling the banking system. And so you see again, here, it's very interesting. The interest on excess reserves, it's the lower red line. It falls with this rate cut here on October 29th, which was just a few days after the worst stock market. Day, October 24th, in decades, or around the world, stocks are falling at a 10%. Just lasts a couple more weeks though, and then they decide. Let's combine them all. So at this point, the fed funds target the interest on required reserves and the interest on excess reserves are all one. Percent. So this idea of sort of tooling with the economy, being very scientific. Went out the window after 5 weeks. And now, they're all at 1%. But again, that wasn't enough as we saw, banks were still clamoring for more liquidity. As you can see, the fed funds effective rate the yellow. Yellow slash orange line there is much lower. At this point, just before the rate cut, it's 90 basis points lower. The centralized central banking system was saying, okay, 1% that should be the bank rate. For lending with each other and banks are saying no, no, no, no. We're lending at .1%. We don't care about what risk you want us to take. We're lending with each other at .1% for our base rate. And then uncle Ben said, okay, fine. I will comply. I'll add more liquidity more reserves by more bad assets from your books. And I'll take down this interest on required reserves, interest on excess reserves, and now you see I didn't talk about this as much yesterday. The fed funds target rate, there's now a lower bound and an upper bound. They were trying to be against scientific here by creating this lower and upper bound. You can't even see the upper because it's covered by all these interest on required access reserves. I'll take it off. Take off required excess, now you can see it, the blue line. They started it here. So they had this upper bound and lower bound for the fed funds. Just because they wanted to make it seem like they weren't being too easy and taking rates to zero. That's why they put this upper and lower bound. Nonetheless, you can see, yeah. Maybe that its job, maybe not, the fed funds that did not crash to zero. It stayed between this range. And this is, this is what they decided to do during the crisis. So let's put on the interest on required reserves, interest on excess reserves back. Again, this is basically all of the reserves that you see here in green. The 850 billion or so at this time. The fed is saying, don't worry about even lending with other banks, don't even worry about lending those reserves into the economy. Park them here with us. Let's take some time to cool off. We will pay you interest. And so they put that rate at the upper bound of the fed funds target, so at the time, all of those things were .25%. That is the fed fund's upper target, interest on required reserves and interest on excess reserves .25%. And of course, they had the fed funds target on the lower bound at zero percent. All time lows in the history of mankind right here. As far as systemic interest rates go. All right, that's really all I wanted to show you right for this video because there's a lot to still digest here. They kept it. All right, for many, many years, okay? And QE one was what I just showed you. The reserves did end up getting to a $1 trillion by 2010, QE two, 2011, reserves get up to 1.6, $1.7 trillion. QE three reserves get up to 2.72 $.8 trillion the balance sheet itself keeps growing because physical cash grows as well 4.4 trillion dollars. And this was the or zero interest rate policy environment that the world went on with during these initial qs for many, many years until 2015. And here they decided to normalize it, notice the. Interest on required reserves and the interest on excess reserves. Let's see how it looks compared to the upper bound as we climb up. A little bit different for a second there, the upper bound goes a little bit quicker. But the interest on required and excess reserves is the same. Again, upper bound raises a little bit quicker, still the same. Here, upper bound races a little bit more, they decide to be a little bit cute with it. Okay, let's take the upper bound to 2%. But the interest on required an excess reserves, only to 1.95%. Let's see how that goes. Here they went to 2.5 for the upper bound, 2.4 or the interest on required reserves. And interestingly, at this point, you see the fed funds by 2019 actually get a little bit above. The interest on required reserves and interest on excess reserves. But that's where I want to leave this video because there's so much more to talk about. This attempt right here. And if you said that the Federal Reserve was printing money at this time, you would be correct if you talked about physical cash, but if you talked about the main printing press, which is the digital reserve account, the master account that each bank has with fed, you would be incorrect. You can see reserves are flat to moving down here. The fed is not buying as many assets as it used to. And they are trying to target higher rates. Because of those actions. So we get all the way to July summer of 2019 and then more things start to happen. I will tell you what in future videos. Thanks for watching.

"Hey everybody, welcome. Thank you so much for joining my name is Matthew. Today we're going to talk about why there was no real price inflation. After the global financial crisis, that has because of the fed's policy of interest on reserves. Okay, so here we are again where we left off. Yesterday in my last video, global financial crisis. The whole world went to hell in a hand basket. Due to mortgage backed securities, excess financial engineering. And excessively low interest rates. As I showed you before the crisis and now they have to lower again during the crisis. And among many other reasons, but those are the core ones. And as I talked about yesterday, perhaps perhaps an implicit bailout. That the banks were, you know, feeling comfortable about feeling that they would have gotten anyway, which they did. Because you see that the way that they were lending to each other that is the fed funds effective rate this yellow line, the yellow line here that my mouse is pointing to. Was well below almost a percent. .8%, 80 basis points. At times below the target rate, for many, many weeks. During the thick of the crisis, until the Madoff Ponzi. Exploded the financial system even more and the fed dropped interest rates. To zero, and they got the monetary stimulus that is low interest rates and excess reserves. That they were hoping for. The question, the big question, and I've alluded to it a lot. I'm sure I've said it in some videos as well. Is as the fed started to explode the balance sheet. Again, reserves work. You know, a few billion, 10 billion here, 20 billion there, depending on the week. Even all the way. To win Fannie and Freddie went into conservatorship. And the balance sheet itself was no more than 900 billion. No more than a trillion. Once this balance sheet exploded and this is QE one right here, this is QE one. I'll zoom out in a second to show you again QE two and three. We've talked about this a lot. But with such an explosion in the base money supply, which this is, and the reserves of the core of that as far as the banking system goes. Basically whatever's in the light green here is cash and coin. Actually just cash in this case, this is just the Federal Reserve's balance sheet in the United States. They don't control coin. That's the purview of the treasury in many, many central banks around the world. They do control coin as well, but nonetheless. The Federal Reserve note that you know when you hold in your wallet or your purse is in the light. Green. The majority of the light green is the Federal Reserve note. Anyway, reserves, explode, causing the balance sheet to explode. In any other case, eventually this would be this monetary inflation would cause massive rice inflation. I've already talked about this before, a rising supply of money, all else equal will cause the price of that money. IE the exchange rate to fall, and when you say the exchange rate has fallen against other goods, that is called price. Inflation. So all else equal, this would have been a massive price, inflation, period, even with what happened here in 2008 after all the cascading collapses of banks, money market funds. Madoff. Yet that didn't happen. Why not? Well, it's because if you look at these two lines here, which I've added, this is interest on required reserves and interest on excess reserves. These are the reasons. Okay. Now the fed thought that they would be fancy and have two different interest rates. This lasted about 5 weeks. So just after the worst of it, but just as the stock market was going to have its worst worst day. Just before they added these two tools as Ben Bernanke always used to say, we would look into our toolkit and we would fix the economy. Interest on required reserves. Okay, let's start with that one. So this is very close to the fed funds rate, but they targeted it originally just under the fed funds rate. You see the fed funds rate at the time was 1.5%. They put interest on required reserves at 1.4%. The idea there is that, as you do, even here, this was the required reserve amount. I've shown this in the M zero vault cash demand deposit videos. What makes up the banking systems reserves. The main thing now is this dark green portion of the balance sheet. The other thing which is not on this chart is vault cash. So that's actually physical notes. And coin that is inside the bank's vaults. Those are the two primary reserves that banks have to loan against. And a general rule of thumb you've heard is 10%. That's actually only for large banks in the United States. Many banks around the world have lower reserves, some have higher some don't have reserve requirements at all. It's for large banks traditionally Citi banks in the United States. It has been 10%. But that even has changed in the last couple of years, nonetheless. You add up this dark green. The reserve balance. You add up vault cash, which is now a very, very small proportion. It used to not be such a small proportion, but now it is a very small proportion. Of the banking systems balance sheet. And those two numbers together must represent 10% of banks assets. Compared to their deposits on the banking systems liability side. That is, commercial banks, not this, this is the Federal Reserve. So this dark green, the vault cash, and the reserves, they are their assets, they can represent no more than 10% of demand deposits outstanding for banks. That's the typical ratio that's quoted, of course the Federal Reserve doesn't know that they don't know what it should be for a Citi bank or a country bank or a state bank or whatever it might be, but that's the number that's thrown around a lot. Nonetheless, those are called reserves. All right, and now I'm showing you the system wide number of bank reserves, which as we now explode. After 2008, so where reserves used to be a very small number. 5, ten, 20 billion. By already January 2009, reserves are 800. 850 billion dollars. So, what is this interest on required reserves figure? Well, this is Ben Bernanke telling the system that don't worry, we're going to credit you with a good asset that is reserves. We're going to buy off your bad assets, which in this case was mortgage backed securities primarily. So we're going to buy off the mortgage backed securities that were guaranteed by Fannie and Freddie. And we are going to just continue on. But you know what? We don't want you to go ahead and lend on these reserves. We don't want you to do that. So we're going to put this interest on required reserves. And that was 1.4%. Just under the fed funds target, which is what the fed wants the banks to lend to each other. And we'll talk more about the different levels of this as we go. We go on in future videos, but as I've talked about in the last video, banks were well under the target here at this point. October November 2008, well under, you see that at this point. November 5th, 2008, .23% was the effective fed funds rate that means banks were actually lending it this rate. That means they were telling Ben.

"I'm trying to see how I can change my program. And I'm literally particularly. Yeah. Well, do you know what that guy is comparing himself with? He's comparing himself with the other people that we see in prison because we see how the classmates were. Among those people. Right. So the question you should ask is who are you comparing your presence progress in language? Are those people that are going very far ahead of you? Because. I don't think depression would end up. And it's not like good. It's just life. Different journeys. I must be like, I'm talking like a Christian and a Christian medic. Many attempts we push ourselves towards depression because we just want things to go away. We just want to keep it in school. We are going to learn to know stories with each other our lives. Oh my God. Wow. Oh my God. I want to live in this woman. Yeah, good is writing different stories, different stories. A lot of people are going to be helped once they listen to this what caused. What is good because we will have possible will never have been possible if there was no strength. Choose very true. If I didn't feel you. Well, what would I do to you? The person I say that I love is that it gives peace. Okay. Okay. So out of that always teach you something beautiful is coming out. Towards the story that Google is trying to construct. And. So by and like to answer your question in a summarized world, I discovered that people that come out of depression and come out from holistically out of society. The perspective of this is so nice. I need the soul. Changed. I want to be there. One of these that I use want to use big words to comfortable. Yeah. What are the paradigms with which you say, what are the classes in particular I'm looking at language? It wasn't I came across this. I don't think anything I'm pushing it down with that but when we do and that is we are in the arms of the crypto. It means that it's drawing. It means that the glitter is away. It means that if you like these ratings. All teams walk through. Yeah. You do see some things. Molecules be detailed here. Is it all this? Is at the end of every level together that will stand what actually was going on as a good time that we were passing through the illegal situation. Okay. Thank you so much. Thank you for all of us. Oh, 1001 questions. Well. Yeah, that's something that I wanted to mention access during ask the question. And that is, I find that to be very, very disturbing because I do like the people that you have more hope for life, more things to be for treating people that are in the teenage years, but it is sad that people that are in it that wants are losing hope because the person that is older would say they do not have a lot of life on their end. They don't have the advantage of having a lot of life left to correct the mistakes which they have made. But the teenager is so cool to expect that to have the advantage of life because I think it was man once said that the young people have the advantage of each and the old people have the advantage of experience. So a young person who takes the advantage of experience will be good life and all persons who take advantage of years will lead a good life but then it's not always that way. So I am going to run a sad that people who should have hope are the ones that are hopeless. Because. This is as much as we can take this week. Thank you for listening on today's episode.

"This week's bird's eye view. I'd like to talk about ethnic representation onscreen. I recently watched the chair. The new sandra owed series net flicks. I was initially sceptical based on the first episode. I could see that the show wasn't going to be as authentic as it could have been in depicting university politics but the characters the plot and especially the themes hooked me. no it wasn't especially authentic but it absolutely captured the essence of university life. And this got me thinking about. Hbo's came thrones for two reasons first. Authenticity is always subjective. And i had to get over myself including my expectations in order to enjoy the show. I imagine medical doctors have had to do the same sort of thing for years whenever hospitals are depicted. Onscreen the second reason that the chair reminded me of game of thrones was because our old friends weiss. Benny off are listed as producers on the chair on the second point. I'll admit that my reaction was cynical. After a weiss and benny off were hit hard over ethnic representation. in game of thrones. They were hit from the left by people. Like me for not showcasing diversity. Over how they showcase diversity when they did their hit from the right by folks who wanted some sort of offense dream of an all white medieval cast. Even so weiss and benny off were probably hit harder from people on my side of the aisle so to my cynicism when i saw their names attached to the chair immediately thought that this was an attempt to rehabilitate their image. I mean how involved were they really in the production of the show. Was it just that they were throwing their weight behind it for some sort of political sanitation. But then i caught myself. Why shouldn't they be admired for putting their game of thrones. Wait behind a series like the chair even if it was calculated. So what. I like the chair. And i'm glad that attracted to establish producers and whom i to begrudge weiss and bidding for whatever journey there on how long it took them to arrive at their own wisdom one more thing about representation creating a sense of authenticity is indeed a factor in fantasy and saifi narratives on screen. But it shouldn't supersede the ethics of production the ethics of casting storytelling etc. Another example. hugh jackman doesn't look or dress like wolverine jackman isn't short enough in his superhero. Garb is yellow enough. But the color of the outfit didn't seem to matter to fans or at least i didn't hear any outcry over cover in that case. I also didn't hear much outcry. Over the fact that sean astin was to pale to play samways ganji for those of us nerdy enough to know that sam is a harford. We might ask. Why wasn't he darker. Like i said so called. Authenticity is highly subjective. Most importantly there are historic power dynamics behind these decisions when we watch these shows whether we want to admit it or not we are participants in these. And that's all..

Curious comic steve osborne seat. I'm going to ask you a question that gets asked a lot in the fandom and you can answer this however you like but the reason why i'm asking you is because i think i finally have my own answer so i'm asking you but really i just. This is just a platform for me to talk a little bit. So just what we've been doing so far. Yeah that's that. That's the premise. Sure so you're pretty familiar with the world of ice and fire. Now if you were going to take a vaca- anywhere in this world where would you like to go Anywhere home Anywhere where ser davos isn't. Because i would think i would just like a little bit of peace and quiet. Please see this is exactly what was going i was going to say. I just wanna follow around solid sawn. All day he. This guy is having the most one of anyone in the entire show. Yeah he seems to be like he doesn't want to be interrupted with the trappings of of much. That isn't his own doing right. Everyone else has problems if he could. Just stay away from davos. Yeah yeah thing is like. I think it's one of those things where it's like. Look i don't mind even like going to some sort of battle with you. If he just could could should be on a different ship for here. Yeah i get it your fingers cut off okay bro. I wonder if there's anyone that doesn't know his fingers get cut off. It's like it's not enough to just like don't take my word for it here. They are aggressively. And your face is a couple of wild leans up like north crashers. Keep have you heard about davos. You mean the guy who's got his fingers cut off your hand.

So yeah i. I like him a lot another big fan of pirates just in general you love ships i but i i could be on his ship with them. I'm sure you know exa- is is it because of your deep respect for ships that the idea that there would be people that would take other people ships that just feels somehow gets it runs contrary to your to your passion. Yeah i've never seen salvatore son. Actually you know do any piracy. All i've seen him do is just have conversations with davos. yeah that would be the spinoff.

So i cannot be held responsible for the anneli that nellie rides away like from the scene. He goes to castlerock your leave kings landing altogether. It's kind of interesting so this you'll really removing himself in from the situation so that so i guess all say is to me. Jamie comes across as more deal dastardly. In the book than the way he's depicted in the series the way they rewrote the same. Or you could. You could say look the that was a better strategic. Move what he did in the book right. Yeah dastardly. yes but also strategically probably smarter. Granted definitely definitely but later sooner you mentioned l. hidden compensate with thai win and the whether kilby cleaner not again we can read out a couple. Different ways right. One is the killing be cleaned like. It'd be dishonorable you know. And i care about my honor and morals but also just in sense of again duck more left up public not personal honor my own personal sense of honor but the how i perceive publicly people heard right. I jamie lancaster. One of the greatest swordsman read the king slayer the i killed maimed man. Like that's gonna look bad so on one having say okay. He's being honorable here. He only only was a clean kill but this is kind of like what do people think like. Oh great laster. Kill the wounded man big deal. I've often thought about jamie in terms of cheese uber ch In the sense that he he really views himself as something of an artist and he doesn't live by the rules of everyone else. In fact he really does view himself as this creature who has evolved beyond the rest of you. Know the rest of people's stupid so social mores but has his internal sense of right and wrong. Like he's going to do right by his own virtue his own sense of like what it would mean to be. The best swordsman in the land. And so he still has a sense of like a clean kill and what not but he's in care really whatever anyone else things of him he doesn't care to correct his reputation as king slayer because of course who cares what the sheep thing. He's a lion. Not that kind of thing no i. I think that's an a stew observation. I never thought of it that way. But yeah the sense i got. He's beyond the the normal social mores of good and evil. And and yeah i i. It's always interesting to me. Are these probably important especially in the books to kinda note when the term king slayer is used like who's using the term jamie hearing them used the term refers to. How does he react if he does like it will the that. That's definitely something we'll get around and re reading these books that going to be paying close attention to. Yeah it's interesting. there's this one Exchange between he and cat were she said that the hells there are hells of course and they exist for men like you and his response is there are. There are not like me. There's only me yes right so he really does view himself as sort of is a breed apart. He's a singular artist in sort of this muck and mire of of you know lower creatures anyway. He's he's such an interesting character Both in the books. And then the show i i. That character is always fascinated me. And i think one of the outcomes of this way that you just described him that makes no sense to the way in which again he's able to form very interesting relationships from yergin he'll tyrian as we were talking about to braun Reenter brienne was especially like he's open to these types of relationships with you know people that are kind of odd in the general mores of on the margin themselves even though they are sort of various in the way that they are marginalized right Well hey jason. This has been delightful. Thank you so much for revisiting. This really important moment in the book with me. Yeah definitely no. I I would say during the tation i was. you know. we're going to say the folks on just like one chapter but then once you'll reread the chapter I was like oh yeah. There's a lot here unpack and And i it didn't very enjoyable conversation. It's one of the thing that makes this. Podcast work is that you can do you. Can you can easily talk about one chapter for two hours. Yeah he could easily. We could easily go on for another hour at this point and but of course and it says this short chapter this is definitely enjoyable and Certainly yeah please keep in mind for other chapters that come up and when you think you know especially now that you've you know kind of heard some of my musings on various things as a great medieval list as an ethicist I don't think there's much there's some by something touched on the day. Like the bathrooms and stuff. Kind of bioethical You know the are a political. Let's say that's right. So yeah anything where we were.

"Father her hand to the young lord of storms end so she doesn't have any choice here so she's resigned again to kinda to that fate would also say to this raisin. There's question about kind of almost we call it the function of brothels in this type of society. Because they do they provide again. This is not at all ethically justify the sex trade or anything like that but just noting that at least in this culture in this society and again this is true of human societies throughout history right the oldest profession as they say that there's a certain function that these brothels provide because it's a discrete place for men to have these liaisons have their needs met so this needing Married or not. And it's all you know as say today on the dl right but and this is kind of the issue the next chapter right where robert sir say are talking with with dead and that's something like this girl just once you like. She she cares about you. She thinks you're gonna come back and take care of her and her child and roberson. I thought the girl had had more sense than that and camera. Was sarah say at that. Point basis says impregnated this basically teenage girl who's uneducated works in a brothel and you think she would have more sense like what are you thinking but the but the girl herself. She's kind of not playing by the rules right right like the function of the brothel is too well. It keeps the rest of the city appearing. Clean right because as long as there's shadow and then the bad stuff is done in the shadow. Then we can really pretend that everyone else's virtuous right if no exactly right Again reminded going back to medieval times here. Both saint augustine and saint. Thomas aquinas right. And i say saints just to emphasize right their status as he's revered christian luminaries and theologians of loss fers. They both thought that while any sexual activity outside marriage was sinful and so on. They both said basically. Gus said an acquaintance. Just sites of guston approvingly in this point says that Prostitution endesa respective societies should be tolerated as something legal because they feared that. If it weren't worse things would happen and interesting and then that not a lot. That's not too much different than the modern argument for the legalization of the sex trade. Yeah no and and other things as well writing interesting. So a few notable introductions chapter barra barra was with the girl named the baby. I guess the person who runs the brothel is called shit. Taya and we hear about For the first time a jamie's captain named tra gar. I think mentioned the other the other ned chapter yet. His head bashed in but got bashed in. I didn't survive. I know yeah. I don't know either anyway. So those were the some of you introductions and then notably. There's a major book difference here in in the show. What happens is native surrounded and jamie hops off his horse for single combat with ned and then one of jamie's Henchmen i guess. Sort of maims ned from behind. He clips his fires calf or something like that whereas in this depiction in the book. Jamie is going to let ned go. He's going to let ned go unharmed back to the in fact he. He commanded his men. Don't harm ned. Kills men and then ned trying to defend his men gets hurt in the scuffle because the horse falls and then he's under the horse and breaks his leg so the way that neds leg gets maimed is different in the book that in the show so i thought that was a major difference and i don't know maybe it's maybe it's just more costly to to to use a horse in that way in the and i don't know why they decided to make that different but yeah That this is a significant difference to me. it makes jamie. Even though it's a villainous episode in terms of jamie's actions handing see the justification right his defended. His is defending his brother. Who and that's always been one of jamie's kind of virtues rise that he's always stood by tyrian right when you'll say hated them and other bhosle society dismissed them raise. The imp right is on father right. You can stand on. The jamie always stood up for tyrian. And so that's that's a virtuous thing in his par. That's family honor and all that stuff as well. It's also a measured response. I'd say you took tyrian or at least you claim to have taken tyrian. You haven't killed him yet. So i'm not going to respond by killing you. I'm going to kill your men. It's almost like there's this measured response is like a tit for tat. Sort of thing where it's on. You know you. You took my bishop. I'm gonna. i'm gonna take your bishop something like that. Yeah i remember from watching. West wing introduced a defrays a proportionate response. Yeah famously. that was in one of the earliest episodes. Yeah what is the virtue of a proportionate response and there's a proportionate response always write a life for life more aid. Can it be you know again. The the overall pragmatics of what's going to lead to better overall consequences but but yeah just come back to that scene in how they do the series. So you'll say jamie's motivations are pretty much the same in both contexts. In the in the book he leaves kill his man's spare ned right seems proportionate but then in the series again we were talking earlier about sort of the honor of personal combat and looking your opponent in the eye and so even though he's more setting out to potentially harm or even kill net in that scene. He's going to do it himself lease until his man comes around and kind of the and i don't know that was like i guess it could still come across as bad. That was kind of like planned intentional. While later on. Taiwan even confronted says. Why did you let him live. And he said it wouldn't have been clean in other words. jamie's got this idea that in a because ned was clipped. Now it's not a fair fight anymore right. We're in the book. You really get the sense and the key to this is the fact that jamie gives the order to leave net unharmed and then he rides away. It's almost as if. Hey whatever happens to net at this point. It's it's off. I can be. I can deny responsibility right. I wasn't even there. I ordered them to to not let them him be harmed. So.

"Those labels at or at the very least he would be a prima facial. Dion tala gist nadi content. Absolutists are and and you know just to finish this thought. I you know one way of kind of a measuring the moral value of least nets character is the fact that in telling these lies. He's taking a at least a potential not actual cost to himself right in this sense by by saying he ordered it. He's taking the heat off of catlin and open himself up to the type of attack that he and his men endure right from jamie and in terms of the the lie of. John snow's identity. He has to suffer in his own marriage and call. You know cause pain to cat limit. Also suffer pain himself by the loss of trust the you know. She would have lost naturally after being made aware of of his adultery. So that's the thing he tells lies but their lives are ultimately cost to him and to me that kind of your shows again. His virtue and is indicative that these lies are. Are y'all justifiable. I've got one more question for you. Jason liana he okay. Net is recalling a exchange. He's head with liana. Leon actually gets a speaking role in this. Yeah that's that's kind of a rare occur. Yeah let let me read this little part here. It says after a time. Little finger quieted as they rode and silence. The streets of king's landing were dark and deserted. The rain had driven everyone under their roofs. It beatdown head warm is blood and relentless is old gilts. Fat drops of water ran down his face. Robert will never keep to one bed. Leon ahead told him winner fell on the night long ago when their father had promised her hand to the young lord of storms end a here he has gotten a child on some girl at the vail. She also says lettuce sweet dearest ned but it cannot change man's nature so here we have young liana but saying things that may be wise beyond her years. She seems to have seen roberts. True nature Somehow so you know whatever exposure she has to robert she has the sense that robert is a philander and he will always be a philanderer. So here's my question to you jason. Do you think that's true. Do you think that the nature of man doesn't change all that much yeah. I'm really glad you brought this up because that line jumped out to me as well as reading this. Not only because like i said. This flashback speaking part for liana when again. Especially when you think about the waste of picked in the hbo series lead leonidas mentioned but never appears until the final season trae and and so it's a significant in that she's popping appear in the book this way and the ad that line also particularly jumped out at me. Right cannot change a man's nature and so here. I'll i'll take us back to aristotle and right so aristotle develops this theory of moral habit tude. Let's call it the idea that he says no one is born inherently virtuous or vicious. We're born sort of moral blank. Slates and through our raised by our families through the education receive through the type of moral exemplars that were exposed to especially as young children through the laws and mores of a of the society in which were raised in kind of shape. The sort of collective moral conscience of our society virtues become inculcated cultivating a plant right. You have to keep watering it you to keep feeding it. Yeah keep exposing at the sunlight and if you don't keep it up and cultivate these virtues. These habits of thinking and acting in people than either a the virtues will kind of weather just the plant withers or be ill. We'd spring up and those vices right so you can cultivate virtuous habits or vicious habits if you're exposed to the wrong moral exemplars. I read this really interesting book. A while back. I was teaching a course on ethics in the holocaust and the book was called a the nazi conscience and the first thing that the author points out in the book is the seems like an oxymoron. But it's not in not in the sense that the nazis had a good conscience. They had a terribly malformed conscience. But the point is that all human beings have a conscience. We all act based on what we personally believe is the right thing to do but those personal beliefs are shaped by our surrounding culture are surrounding society. Somehow there was a structure set in place that made something like the holocaust possible exactly and it was very ill engineered by joseph gerbils right. The minister propaganda. What what they expose children to in schools and so on Again that's a whole complicated. History can get into but all this is to say that wants. One has formed certain habits whether their virtues or vices. it's not impossible but it becomes very difficult to break them right. And and of course the more we learn about neurobiology right so we can fast forward from over two thousand years ago from classical wisdom to modern scientific understanding and we understand that certain neuro chemical patterns in our brains shape certain patterns of thought and behavior so that some things has also become second nature. Leon the wisdom that leonidas tapping into rice over for labelling characters i would say leon is is an air steal ian here writers. She's a at least the same inside as aristotle that yeah wants. A man like robert has cultivated certain habits of of a philandering. And so on it is. It's impossible but it's gonna be very hard for him to change that and what's interesting about this you know. The short little paragraph is iliana acceptance of this. I mean she's kind of forced by her society to accept it again. As i said you know she'd been promised by her father her hand to the young lord of storms end so she doesn't have any choice here so she's resigned again to kinda to that fate would also say to this raisin..

"Little finger of is is meant to be something of a bizarro ned. The show how how straight laced and how dignified net actually is. I guess another way to say this is. The lie stands out to me because ned has been painted as this paragon of virtue It wouldn't make any difference if little finger lied. I wouldn't even notice it i just. That's what little finger does right. I couldn't even separate the lights from the truth with them. But when ned lies it's like okay. Now that's a question. I wanna talk to jason about. Because that's significant. Yeah so i. I think everything says exactly right about Not conceived him that way. But that's definitely going to kind of picture little finger now As as bizarro ned straight and just create bring another point of contrast one of the little finger none predict compare him to and to net would be various various is almost kind of in the middle between them. And i'm bringing this up in order to create this. Yeah three point contrast an end to talk about the ethics of lying right so a lot of emphasis lot of moral philosophers and theologians consider lying to be intrinsically bad right. it's bad enough itself. Y'all immanuel kant go so far as to say you can't lie even emphasis. Save another person's life right. Even that you're doing something inherently wrong and we can never do things that are inherently wrong. Even if it's to serve some purpose right so you can their phosphorus today. Who still you kinda fend. That kind of extremist. Absolutist view about the the rawness of lying and now the opposite and the spectrum in terms of ethical theories you have what's called utilitarianism right or consequential ism where there no intrinsically right or wrong actions. There's it's just always about the consequences that were aiming to produce and are reproducing good consequences or bad consequences and in that view. It doesn't matter what your motive as you can have like totally nefarious motives evil motives as long as in the end. What you produce something good. That's okay right. And then in the middle and i'm in my job. I'm painting very broad strokes here right but in the you you have virtue theory going back to aristotle and other theories where yes the consequences matter and yes. There are certain types of actions. We shouldn't shouldn't do but what's most important is your moral character. Are you the type of person. Do you have the right dispositions. What again aristotle. 'cause virtues or the the opposite being vases these inculcated habits of thinking and acting that will lead you to do the right actions and to produce the best consequences under the right circumstances and so again. It's kind of again painting. Very broad strokes. Kindness mill road between the extremes of of this absolutism. We get from kant and utilitarianism which in itself is kevin absolutist theory. 'cause we absolutely must always produce the greatest good for the greatest number of people but it's not absolutist in the sense that there they're no again intrinsically right or wrong actions righteous on the circumstances. Yeah so with that. Let me let me just quickly taught. Yeah the three characters here right. Little finger has no virtue whatsoever. He's always just he. He lies he schemes. He does whatever he wants. Only to serve his own purposes right his own power. He's the most machiavellian of the character. Right probably in the series. In fact he'll go so far as to create chaos right and then it may or may not benefit him but he's going to try to make it benefit like it's not like he's calculating the damage before he creates the damage he's just going to create them a maximum amount of damage and then figure out what to do with it after the fact right yeah it never said he's kind of like the joker particular is portrayed in in nolan's the dark right. Yeah he's a chaos agent right exactly. It's a contrast a little finger with farris who also freely lies schemes right plants. A route spreads rumor and innuendo. And i think there's definitely some self serving this to various motivations on you know these characters are not one dimensional right. This is why we like them. Were invested in them right then multifaceted motivations and they're not none of them are morally perfect But in the end of the story progresses right fast forwarding embarrasses ultimately wanting to do. What's best for west. Rose blind to serve the seven kingdoms by. Yeah i agree with you. I do think that various really does have a consequentialist view in mind. Elmo's utilitarian because he's worried about the commoners like i think he thinks. Okay this lie will prevent that war right so this lie it's maybe unpalatable is far better than you know a thousand commoners dying in this next war or something like that exactly right so so we can you know kind of label little finger as he's not even utilitarian because israel is looking for the greatest good for everyone know little fingers at virtuous or vicious egoists right isa's serving his own ends and there are philosophers right to defend ethical egoism as really the right way to act. If you look at the reins of you know an rand and so on whereas varis would be this kind of virtuous utilitarian writers virtuous consequentialist and then then we get to ned and on the one hand. It would seem like ned maybe falls into this more absolutist camp right of. Y'all always doing your duty no matter what and so on but he also has you know a sense of the you know the greatest good for the greatest number and and the the need to be flexible and we can't be absolutely rigid and the application of all of our moral duties so there's a version of content ethics called Prima facie dion policy which is a latin terms on our medieval again He'll on first glance right on the face of things on the face of things. You ought to tell the truth on the face of things that you know. We'll tell the truth. But when there's a conflicting moral duty right the duty to safeguard his wife the duty to preserve his His masculine dignity rise. We were talking about earlier or the The preservation of. Jon snow's identity or something like that exactly. So yes are you saying. Then jason are you saying that Net is not.

"Whereas obviously jon snow has status as what's as being publicly known at least as neds bastard and other bastards that we see in the in the book and the series again have have a role to play as you said by also agree that that while one hand their status has come at the whim of their how their father owns them or not or gives them yeah some role and then had i think you're also right that they do have that more freedom because when when people have lower expectations of you Then you don't have to do as much to impress them unless you want to aspire to that higher office Another great example. I think robert would have been much happier as second son. Or a bastard or someone who could just go across the narrow sea and be a cell sword somewhere you know and he can just do whatever he wants in many ways. Robert hates the dignity of his own office because he knows he's not well suited for it. ned on the other hand so we should talk about net here here. We have someone who seems to be very well suited for his own office in the as lord winner fell. You know not really raised to do so. That was supposed to be his older brother but net this casting off his own desires his own sense of you know person hood. Because he's going to allow this. Lord of winter fell title to define him. And he's not going to dishonor that title and yet here. He is very not well suited as handed king. I think so much so that he has to just forfeit. He just has to get rid of it. And and this of course goes really badly for him. Ned had a certain degree of autonomy as lord of winter fell right and not only in running at governing so to speak but also it's his own code. I mean what he's put in. The addison situation king's landing where the mores are different. Where the office of the king and the handed the king. You have different rules. You send the sassoon's to do your work now to do your killing that. Among other the fact that the person being tarez a fourteen year old pregnant girl completely offends neds. moral sensibilities. It's kind of a red line for ned. it's like You know there's. There is such an idea for ned as sort of a a will met opponent in battle or a good kill or something like that right and then he has this. The you know these foibles about you. Know what would be considered to be To to lack dignity. I i suppose the kind of a something that you know. We have this distinction between execution and murder in our country right. I think ned very much has something along those lines. Yeah no i think very much to their. There's i'm also reminiscent here to of star wars when george. Lucas dented the concept of the united states and that they fight with light sabers versus using blasters. And so on. And it's an outline in mouth of obi when when he's presenting luke with with his father's lightsaber he says elegant weapon from a more civilized age. This notion that there's there's this romanticism about personal combat and an affair fight between worthy opponents versus you'll blowing up a planet with the death star or something like that so and i think we see the same thing right. And game of thrones wear and and also just in human history right where the you remove death from the person causing death and you know the the combination of that today is like warfare right. There's a really good movie called. I in the sky and i'm going to the store. The film Aaron paul of breaking bad fame. He plays a drone pilot whose asked to strike at this terrorist compound. What these terrorists are gathering. But knowing that much of civilians in the surrounding arab will also likely be killed by clitoral damage as they say in the military and his is bothers his conscience. It's the point being is that yeah kind were killing someone becomes a video game basically right. He's in a trailer in las vegas. Right nellis air force base killing people on the other side of the globe so this all goes back to write this. Look looking your opponent in the eye and the sense of honor killings still. Killing killing is is is never good. Sometimes it can be justified but it. So then contrasts not with jamie right and jamie sort of ambushes. Ned in his men and very cavalierly says the dispatch has met as as a lesson to humble him. You know. there's no purpose to this killing. There's no goal to begin. That's not an honorable. Kill not to mention the fact that Shimmer exactly how mean men jamie habit. Ac- like ned and his men around. No yeah totally. There's a net as two-man in in jamie's one of twenty or something like that. Yeah yeah and then picked it in the in the series as well right there just totally outnumbered. And so yeah. It's not an honorable kill. It's not worthy oppose. it's just a slaughter. Here's a question for you maybe it's unanswerable but i- curious to see how you deal with this jason white. Is ned lie. He lies here. Jamie says it's my brother you before. I remember my brother. He seems to have some trouble along. The road and ned says yes. I ordered him to be captured to answer for his crimes or something like that. But we know that. Ned did not order that. So then here's a question to you. Why why wouldn't. They claim that he did order that if he didn't Yeah great question So on one hand. A charitable reading of of. That would be the say that when a sense anything catlin. Does you know because of the relative status of women in western culture compared to men kalan has very little authority like legalistically to act in her own name in her own person. And as catlin's husband you know he kind of ultimate authority. So it's it's kinda like you know the captain of a ship right. Everything that happens on the ship as the captain's responsibility at so anything catlin or really any member of his family. Does it turns at least ned. Sense of honor probably his own conscience like a redound him. So you know. He didn't order catlin do it because she did it. It's on it's on his. So he's it's more his taking responsibility. So that's maybe his own baby. Subjective sense of morality on the other hand there's done. The politics of net is enough of a political animal to realize that a ads. The former hand the king as roberts friend he can probably take the heat in a way. That catlin can't rag. I mean he. He's just trying to protect her. I think right well yeah. I guess. I'm glad that you brought that up so i think we may have a both and situation here. I think there is an element here. Where because of the dignity of his office as the husband he kind of has to take the responsibility for his wife's actions and yet i think that there would be some sort of almost emasculation if he admits that he doesn't have control over his own wife so think that there's something about this ideal of masculinity that he's living up to that would be damaged if he were to admit that his wife has taken tyrian without his say-so now that's a great point. I hadn't thought about that. But and as a much of a paragon of virtue as ned comes across as he. Yeah he's still a fallible human being like all of us and as a man yeah especially in that world has a certain sense of masculine whether it's personal pride which certainly is part of it but also again there's the political angle of this right yes to maintain his status Yeah i if if he's going to have authority at people are gonna listen to him if he's an even without the authority of the office of hand of the king anymore. He still has his own personal authority. Right he still very well respected person which is part of the reason robert wright wants to recruit him and so kind of maintaining that public dignity and that word again y- kind of requires that he not allowed himself to be emasculated in the way you just described so per again just personal pride is a man. Sure that's that's probably definitely part of it. But i think there's also this this political necessity of maintaining face right. Yeah right. I think as we've been introduced to ned in several of these chapters. He's often. he's often contrasted with little fingers there. Those two are almost polar opposites in a number of ways and even in this chapter. You know when when little fingers in a brothel is like a fish in water. And you get the sense that you know. Net is a little bit He's gonna get in. He's going to interview interview and he's gonna leave. That's you know that's the kind of dignity in the modern sense that the net has and little finger. He's gonna you know he's gonna make body jokes he's gonna be fast and loose with what he says about. People gossip wise. He really is contrasted in in many ways with ned and yet when it comes down to it. Ned is this paragon virtue. He's willing to lie because that's what needs to happen. In that moment..

"X. eight-run i pace now the bmw. I x four and a bit seconds is crazy. Bmw says the imax will have three hundred miles of epa range. But of course that's not official yet. Testing hasn't been done. Bmw's planning a more powerful version as if that wasn't enough they get a budget with ibm brand. This is the m sixty she to go. The extra fifty or the m sixty and that brings six hundred horsepower and in fact more the first all electric car from bmw's m division now. The fifty uses the fifth generation. Eight dr platform. You'll hear me talk about on this podcast and bmw using that. What we call fifth generation platform four hundred volt battery pack and there's a compliment battery sizes on this but at least the. Us is going to get a big battery on both of those the fifty or sixty that is one hundred and eleven point five kilowatt hours gross in other words the whole but you get to use one hundred and six kilowatt hours of six point three and that's because they the cell voltage. So you can't overcharge under charge it gives you a little bit of a buff It just means that one hundred percent on the dashboard isn't really one hundred percent but it's good for battery longevity and safety and heat management and many other things as well the i x will charge at almost two hundred kilowatts and again if you're looking for the absolute blazing best at the moment. You're looking at tycoon. John john j Wave route charging peaking at two seventy. And then you've got the korean cows coming out the end of this year The hyundai kia. They're gonna charge at two thirty kilowatts. So this is right up there. Two hundred kilowatts. It doesn't get the world record in the production car charging but heck it's so fast because when you put it into real wells terms it's about the charging curve and again if you new to this podcast i can see the starts going up. I can see people coming in to learn about ebays when a av battery. When lithium ion battery is empty it can take a lot of charge very quickly. And if you've got good management to dissipate the heat. I sometimes use the example of a bucket which people like me using. Got an empty bucket. You can put a hosepipe into it on absolute full blast and it will fill the bucket up when you just getting almost to the very top of the bucket. You won't hosepipe on full blast you wanna just drip drip drip just makes you don't spill over the top. That's how i explain it anyway. So you turn up with a low state of charge. The take two hundred kilowatts that gives you ninety miles of range in less than ten minutes. Filling the battery to eighty percent is less than forty minutes. According to inverse dot com a bmw has partnered with. Av go charging network in america to give you your account status and the charges status or within the bmw. So it's a very native experience you stay in the bmw app. It'll show you the network. It will show you where those charges a free and even get some credit for free as well if buying the car the x. drive forty appears to be european. Only if you can find anything differently correct me. Let me know on the or in the comments. Because i couldn't find any mention from bmw of america of the extra forty but the european press release talks about it. The extra i foresee is a small battery with less power that has two hundred and forty kilowatts of output in germany stars seventy seven grand whereas in germany. The extra fifty has three hundred ninety. Five kilowatts an starts at nine thousand eight thousand euros so the uk pricing. I did have that sixty stars. Sixty-nine again the smaller battery the extra forty stalls at sixty nine thousand on the road market launch is twenty two thousand city. Like i mentioned for the us here in europe at least in the uk. I know the uk is definitely deliveries in november. And i imagine that's going to be coordinated. Probably with the hallmark of gemini and other european countries to says electro drive dot com. The high voltage system of the forty has a much smaller battery. Seventy one kilowatt hours usable. Not one six point three from aggressive. Seventy six point six kilowatt hours what's interesting actually is. Bmw published the charge curves for their about trees today. So we know the peak power is two hundred and she's one hundred and fifty for the small battery but also we can say in the real world what it's like. Now if you go to percents charge on a charge of the is able to supply enough power you will get that on the big battery an average over that charge curve of ten twenty percent of one hundred twenty six kilowatts and let me assure you that's really really good because some costs start really fast but then slow down really quickly and they're like well okay. Well i got peak charge speed for a minute but now it's gone slow. Where's it doesn't have quite a good charge of about thirty five minutes. To get to eighty percent. Smaller battery is an average of ninety. Six kilowatts to get eighty percents. Get really really good. What about region in this car well is ready to rock and roll maximum reach and two hundred eight kilowatts going back into the battery. Which is just mega. If you need full region top speed limited to two hundred kilometers an towing is really good now for the nordic countries sweden annoyed etc towing his very important in northern europe. Two thousand five hundred kilograms is actually way better than the model x. So it'll tow a big trailer as well again. Very important for some markets the bmw. I xe will inevitably compared to be compared to the cadillac. Lyric the apron. Maybe the mac e possibly the model y if you spec that up and seen it did a comparison vehicles the battery and the floor. Everything apart from though is different. I x. has three hundred miles of range from its usable capacity. The lyric is aiming for one hundred kilowatt hour battery pack and the model y has a much smaller battery but does more with it. So seventy five kilowatt hours but three hundred miles of range now again. Real world In terms of tesla drivers getting that range the epa promised. Rain doesn't always happen but that doesn't mean. The battery is why lighter in the model y and that has its benefits for efficiency says seeing that dot com. Bmw's i xe leaves the other suv's in the electric in the dust when it comes to power output not comparing it to the x. But the other calls here With joel motors and almost six hundred horsepower. Suddenly very very powerful and that is our first bmw. I'm bringing today but whites. Don't go anywhere. I think infomercials website. Because there's more next we have a call is arguably more because it will sell more in a more popular mainstream automotive segment and that is the executive saloon sedan of the bmw four series otherwise known as the iphone stick around. I got all the details to give you on. Today's podcast. stay there. So let's talk about the bmw. I four summing up the importance of this car and gadgets says as bmw's electrified series model. The four is a linchpin the company's future running on the same platform as the i x. I've just talked about so they really do place. This is a hugely important car. And look i've got to be honest. I mean the four series anyway with its lift back hatchback boots sweetpea. Styling just three hits all the right notes in terms of you know i know it. Subjective in styling. bmw's i four is the electric version of that fully. Electric a four series grun. Cuba is great place to start and it looked so great Grace beck as well for an electric car when you think about the underpinnings that it's on its can have a combustion version plug in hybrid off electric so in that way that summary well in the us. The i four grand tour will be sold in two trims. The lower powered rear wheel drive variant. Because you know save some money. No front motor. It's a bmw. You wanna get the rear end out. Sometimes it's rare wheel drive and there's being more powerful all wheel drive model as well according to inside the f. Drive fourty again. That's that i have given it. The i four fourty Gets one motor rear axle. Three hundred and thirty five horsepower. Which is still really good and a. Remounted electrically excited synchronous motor. It's prince sixty two miles an hour. North one hundred case five point seven seconds top speed one hundred eighteen miles an ass hundred ninety case. This'll be the longest range i fall they sell. Api range expect again over three hundred on a single charge starting price this one much more competitive again at my price range but fifty five thousand dollars. There is a more powerful vision as well just like we had with the earlier. This is the m series. M fifty. Eddie performance drives choice all wheel drive five hundred thirty six holes power in a much smaller than the i. X so again in that luxury executive saloon sedan segment five hundred thirty six horse. Power is just mega if the child is so much power for a car the size. Bmw claims do not sixty two miles an hour. Two hundred k's in three point nine seconds and it's top speed is higher than smaller. Br smaller batteries brother. I should say a hundred forty miles an hour. One hundred nineteen which is two hundred twenty five kilometers an hour and yes three point. Nine seconds is bested by model three performance. But frankly if you're going sixty in three point anything and you're trying to compare those two. It's just willy waving in the gym changing rooms my ones bigger than ultimately at the end of the day. That's plenty quick enough but if you want wanna fight between tesla and bmw finds you go for it. I'm staying out of it. There's a hate pump as well which bmw already proud of in the bmw. I four they say the very low ambient temperatures again many of these calls sold in very cold climates. The heat pump is necessary. I really standard please. Bmw that make you an option. Please please stand come. On a pair of powerful continuous flow haters. It's nine kilowatts of heating power on age of lows and that ensures thermal comfort on power with any bmw conventionally powered or not but still very efficient the latest version of the heat pump makes use of colombian hate and hate from the dehumidification as well as hate would be wasted from the motors. Bmw very proud and how much work they put into this very efficient heat pump and scavenging and energy in order to use it wisely. Let's talk about bmw's current software instead of the current i-drive sets up. If you're familiar with that lace generation very very good bmw has gone even big robin two screens. They've gone for the giant panel now starts behind. The steering wheel goes all the way across much of the drivers Side rather single piece gloss it to set for digital screens but one big piece of glass. It's curved aims towards the driver. Which makes you feel like most bowls. He anyway when the driver feels like things are aimed at harrow him. The is display similar. To the gauges that you'll see an existing beamers featuring more futuristic graphics though a new user interface more functionality great graphics and a new menu system according to bam w blog bmw at apple and google maps to the head up display as well. So good that it's got it maintains wireless eh play and android but it also beams onto the head up display is. I'm going to leave the road to see your directions. The hatchback is a feature of the full series grand tours and customs love that one of the reasons they by over three series. I reckon both cows get eighty one point five kilowatt hours of usable energy so this is not a case of different battery sizes like the x. Was earlier butts two versions but one battery one point five. That's eight hundred. Eighty four gross by the way. High voltage battery has full modules. Seventy two cells each and three twelve modules. The iphone can charge also at up to two hundred kilowatt. Saint powertrain ready as what we talked about earlier and that speed because the i four is lighter more efficient it will actually at one hundred two miles of range in ten minutes rather than the x adding ninety miles of range in the same time. done amick suspension drivers machine. So you can load up the boot with a bunch of suitcases. Or whatever and the suspension will keep the holcombe flat Twenty inch wheels or eighteen inches a standard acoustic glazing very luxurious home and cod soundsystem sixteen speakers autonomous features like lane. Keep assist that up to one hundred and twenty five miles an hour yet. Speed up getting my hands on the wheel and driving myself. Thanks not just any of these systems or to express drive a prototype and they seemed very priced mid sized saloon customer bases for bmw traditionally so the fully electric i four has a big job to do and the challenge to attract significant people into the bmw ecosystem of electric cars. The i four appeals with astonishing steering. Precision says also express and smooth handling when they drove the prototype and despite being two tons was very little body roll. The ultra low center of gravity comes into play. It's even lower than a three series. It's fifty three millimeters five centimeters lower than a three series you to express the entire undecided. The is fed in for maximum ero. And there's no exhaust so big diffuser. The back electric got hold of the uk pricing forest bmw naming the pricing of the i. Four the dry forty starts at fifty two thousand pounds on the road and yes more expensive now than the threshold for the congressman say no assistance financially in that surprise you and the m fifty is sixty. Four thousand pounds on the road market launch You can get that from summer and get your causing november. The us stocks at fifty six thousand dollars for the rear wheel drive version and sixty seven thousand dollars for the all wheel drive hot hot m fifty. But of course there is the Federal tax credit on that so. I'm guessing if you're buying a sixty grand call probably got seven and a half grand a tax to pay next year so get at least a discount on your tax bill. Let's talk about this car versus the model three well green hearing you. Sometimes my watch just goes off amid record. What can i do the bmw. I four versus the model three iphones dimensions as previously Exactly the same. As the model three hundred ninety eight inches long seventy three inches wide fifty seven inches high will buy one hundred and twelve inches. On the military shorter. I should point ascls stubby news. The iphone has long knows that you had put in a combustion car to fit the engine but otherwise the dimensions are a model three. The i four does look longer though to the because it is as brian wong at green car reports on had a chance to play with the software. That's up for few moments. A he says but he's ready for primetime. It's instantaneous menu structures shoots if it's fair to assume that the new system is even better than the existing excellent idea seven The final comparison by senior. Who pitched against the kia. Ev six not sure why they didn't mention the iconic. I onic as different the by five the postal to the model three. Now look to comparisons. Every i full has the eighty three point nine kilowatt hour battery and will do around three hundred miles range for the ray wheel drive less for the all wheel drive key eighty-six at doesn't have range estimates right now but the pulse to we know we'll do around two hundred and thirty miles on. Epa and the model three performance is the best of the three one five but again real world and tesla. Hadja was hitler's number. So i think i four is ballpark with three hundred miles. If i can get to that really world is doing really really well key. As six of course does have that big advantage of charging an eight hundred volt architecture which isn't always by the way a bigger number is better with voltage. But that doesn't mean that you can add seventy miles of charge in five minutes at peak speeds again. Everyone turns up with an empty battery. Somebody will get to a charger with twenty or thirty percent. But anyway if you do you can add a ton of range. Seventy miles range in over one hundred k's in five minutes which is impressive. The bmw isn't far off. That will add ninety miles of writing jin ten minutes and again get eighty percent in around half an hour with that. Two hundred kilowatt charge does really good charge curve so my goodness me too amazing electric cars. We've seen both of these calls before by the way we've seen them but we didn't have the details on them. And i just i love any die where we get to talk about new electric cars coming to the market. It's brilliant. i love competition. I love the new cars. I love digging into account white to see the test drives as well now. What do you think.

It was really kind of a inquiry level to the athletic department. A director and i do wanna get into this indies inferences made by you guys about some of the perks that football players seem to be walking around with. So i'd like to get into that. Sure so to start with while i have been doing this litigation for a very long time. I never i'd only represented And the reason primarily is because women who are being discriminated against throughout the country. Even now almost fifty years after ten nine women are being deprived of equality across the board but there are schools that ended up cutting more men's teams than they should so depriving the manon quality. And when i was contacted about this certain tom cases. I was very worried to do it because when i looked at the school that looked obvious that the way the school could make up for it and get into compliance in terms of quality was just to cut another woman and i didn't want to be apart that was when i was devoted to her and i don't think we're really passed but the school could do it. I got called about clemson because clemson. They cut the men's track field across skiing primarily black male teams. And when i went to look at it it was stunning because before the cuts were made clemson was actually providing equal opportunities for minimum. They were in compliance in terms of equal opportunities. They discriminating against women in terms of athletic financial aid in treatment but treating men women in terms of opportunities equal so they didn't have to cut anything and yet they reached out and cut is primarily a predominantly black dragon field and cross country teams. And so i came up with a strategy. And i call them. Laurie and i said so. How about we do this. We have the athletes and they had to be committed to it as well. Because the women athletes were furious. They're brothers these people practice with it cetera and they had the educated a little bit about how they were being deprived of athletic financial aid and the treatment differences were illegal and so on a friday. I sent a letter to the president of university Saying i represent the male athletes on the track field and cross country team..

This is a top three kiss album for me with a vengeance or lick it up this or at least the official touring versions probably my favorite line. Up the album's they could produce.

How the attack on Washington, DC's U.S. Capitol unfolded: A reporter's perspective
"Insurrection at the. Us capitol building on wednesday has taking stock of democracy in america. This hour we start with gray segers licko reporter for cbs news. I was in the capital on wednesday reporting mainly from the senate chamber what started as a historic day in the capital. Where for only the third time. In history congress was debating whether to overturn the votes of thousands of americans ended with violence and tragedy full. You know it's funny. I did expected to be a bit of a weird day because of the inherently unusual thing of having dozens of republicans challenge the election results in several states which is pretty much unprecedented. Mr vice president. I paul gosar from areas does the gentleman from arizona. I rise up for myself and sixty my colleagues to object to the difficult day day which would require a lot of concentration and very exactness in my report and then everything was just flipped upside down so suddenly. You can't have electron ix in the senate chamber. Would i usually do is. I'm in there for about thirty minutes or so. And then i'll come out for five minutes to write an email to my editors. Let everyone in the bureau. What's going on. So i had actually come out of the chamber and was in the press gallery writing an email and then all of a sudden i heard a senate gallery. Staffer shout pence has left. He had just been taken out of the room. And i assume that it was for security purposes and that My first thought was a. Wow i guess those protesters outside have gotten a bit more rowdy and then the next thing i knew there was a capital police officer at the door of the senate press gallery saying lock that gohmert now just shouting it through the room and i realized oh my god this is this is serious and then the officer was telling all of us who were in the press gallery outside of the chambered me to grab your stuff and you need to get inside the chamber and we are going to lock you inside. The chamber definitely kind of illegally took my took my phone and laptop into the chamber 'cause i i needed to tell my editors that i was alive and also telling my loved ones that i was okay and next thing i knew the the doors were being locked behind us. The press. gallery sort of overlooks the senate chamber floor. So it's kind of like the lip of fish bowl and the reporters are looking over this list into the fishbowl. Where all the senators are on the floor. It was very clear that something was wrong. All senators pretty much. Where on their phones standing looking extremely stressed and there were police officers. All around the doors. Senator amy klobuchar could on kind of her best mom voice and shouted a shots have been fired getaway from the doors. This is serious. There came a point where all of a sudden senators were being evacuated and it seemed for a moment that they were going to leave the reporters in the senate chamber which would have been very unfortunate as riders broke into the chamber just moments after senators had left but fortunately a senate gallery staff shouted down. You know hey what about us. Police officers just told us okay. Follow the senators. They were literally steps away

"So i know that assembly and inspection in manufacturing is the name of the game at at bright machines. The bulk of your work there. I wanted to put in context what that process looks like. Now what what is assembly when we think about something like electron ix or medical devices and wise such an important part of of manufacturing today. So if you look at the assembly process there actually is a fair bit of automation in front part of the process but you hear about these millions of people involved in manufacturing so what part of the process of the human beings actually solving and that's typically the back end of the process which is putting things together doing inspection wooding some screws in a memory chip in those kind of activities is aware human beings are involved and so there is a lot of human beings doing these back activities and over the last two to three decades. The strategy of manufacturing efficiency has been around moving be backing of the operations to countries which have lower costs and as we know these days. Various reasons changing demographics trade policies head other uncertainties. You want to manufacturer closer to the consumer and preferences are changing. So what needs to happen is if you want to have the ability to manufacture products in a shorter duration. You need to have automation and you need to have systems that can work across diplo and the ability to move your production facilities across the globe and dot smith automation And that's actually right machines. We are trying to solve those losses. Props got into. We'll just we'll just kind of frame up the problem in the process as it is now what i really love to do. In these use cases episodes those of you who are longtime listeners will be aware of this on is we will like to talk about. What's the process. Look and feel like today. and then what's the process look and feel like in terms of where a fit into the the edges in starts to to add value. I'm imagining in my head. Abbot not being fulltime in the manufacturing space. You know we've got a press that will make the actual plastic bits. We've got you know some other shipment of all the little metal. Bits that we're going to need and maybe some of the initial conjoining of the bigger pieces can kind of happen upstream in some big automated robotic processor is flow of materials but then it comes down to putting together little pieces making sure the thing actually works you inspecting to make sure it's not danger damaged in any major way that really is you know i imagine kind of a conveyor belt again this a novice imagination but some kind of a conveyor belt with with the different pieces that i'm working with in my part of the workflow as as a worker and my job is to connect these two things in the items slides down. You know i'm doing my little piece. And then it moves down to the next person and they're doing their piece for example is this is this often what it looks like. Electric's made to get medical devices. Made other things. That need to be assembled now. I think you have described very well. That is pretty much the base process. Obviously they'll be rations on that. Depending on how many units you want to produce how fast you want to produce and there will be fetishistic systems to deal with inherent variability in your competence in the processes and so forth. But what you described is actually the in process and that current process human beings are on one part of the process which is closer to final assembly then on the initial part of the process. Which as you described as much more automated or you have components already available in shape are homeless needs to be assembled at a later stage. Got it okay. This is what it looks like now and we can talk a little bit about where. Ai fits into the mix. I imagine that there have been automation efforts to try to do some of this because it would seem to me abstract the more that we can get done really reliably really quickly and without meeting human hands human attention maybe even human margins of error the better so i imagine companies are working on. How can we have less pieces of the things fit together and we can build a more quickly. And then there's probably another phase where we have some automation of. Can we get a machine to maybe handle. Some of the initial screw is the initial bolts the initial connection conjoining pieces or whatnot. But of course we're you folks are trying to take. It is is a very granular level of almost kind of putting finishing touches on things. Can you walk us through what it looks. Like to apply machine learning and computer vision to this very dextrous tasks but this is just the kind of thing that i think many of us who are aware of the limitations of robotics no to be very very hard sure I think or commission obviously exists has existed for quite some time before we get into how they're solving the problem. It's important to understand the limitations of automation even if you was to go down that up. So the automation that typically exists in manufacturing. It's very custom so at some point. The manufacturer chooses to go with the automation solution. There will be a custom designed for that specific product that needs to be assemble and The process of doing the design takes time. It is not flexible to handle variants of the product or new product classes. It is sequence in the sense you. I needed to design. Then you need to order the hardware then you program. The robots Takes months sometimes even within a year to get the automation solution in place. Now what is the issue there if you do that or one specific product for one specific in the woods your ability to replicate that or move. That is going to be extremely difficult up. Plus you cannot deal with variations in supply chain and your product plus so what is actually good that if it take us back if you have. Zero variance usually go with deterministic approaches. But when you have very the you need solutions and that's the approach taking rare. Can we actually embiid lot of the logic. Insa fair and when i say software it is leveraging machine learning computer vision. It is leveraging the robotics and associated drivers in the cloud. Can we do that so that we are able to actually account for the ability and provide the lippi that automation requires and that also helps drive a higher. Roi through automations. I don't need to think about depreciating asset automation acid in three to five years. And then selling it for scrap i can actually reuse and leverage lot of the automation i did for up info be and that's our

Holiday sales tick up as shoppers invest in their homes
"A modest three percent rise in retail sales. During this year's holiday season shoppers spent more on furnishing and food but less on clothing jewelry. That's according to early figures released yesterday by a company that tracks all forms of payments looking for after christmas deals. But here's where to find the discounts because the holidays are over doesn't mean the bargains have stopped some after christmas. Categories are no brainers like holiday decor retailers are trying to clear out their stock. So it's a good time to get deals on holiday items. You can store and use next year. This is the time to look for those pricey inflatables in artificial trees. Discounted light strands may come in handy for weddings birthdays or instagram worthy photos to other discounted items to look for clothing video games and electron ix stores to watch include amazon target walmart. And don't forget victoria. Secret which launches simi annual sale each year in late december.

Document What You Do
"So being a california boy. I wasn't as familiar with lafayette radio electronics. As folks who lived in new york and new jersey in on that side of the country but in their day they were a big deal. They were a big deal. They went up against the likes of radio shack in heath kit and those kind of folks in terms of mail order electronics and they had stores to boot. I became interested in them. When i saw a few there. Stereo receivers for sale on ebay thinking. Those are the kind of cool. You know what i mean. You know when you're just kind of browsing around any go. That's a nice looking piece of equipment there. So i was initially attracted to their design but as i read up on them i saw that many people like the way they sound as well. They have that nice. Sort analog warm sound that so many people like with vintage stereo receivers and amplifiers now. They did have retail stores back in the day. Lafayette mostly in new york and new jersey as i mentioned earlier but their catalog businesses really the big deal In their lifespan. And if you live somewhere where your electronic shop was maybe a mom paw that had a limited selection or limited inventory. You could get a four hundred page. Lafayette electronics catalog and deceit everything. Everything that you wanted to see you know. The pages were filled with tape. Recorders and microphones and stereo systems. Cb radios and more and more and more they began their business in nineteen thirty-one like so many businesses. At that time they started out with a different name. I don't even recall what it was. But it evolved into lafayette electronics by the sixties and seventies You're seeing their ads. In popular electron ix stereo review in all of that and they had a number of store locations to i believe at their peak. They had something like a hundred and fifty store locations again. Most of them on the east side of the united states. The twenty two hundred. I purchased sold for two hundred ninety nine dollars in nineteen seventy six. It had a walnut. Finished would case. If feature twenty-seven watts per channel it has dual tuning a source selector switch for fono f. m. f. n. mute mp xfl filter a. and auxiliary it also had advanced features such as low noise transistors and phase locked loop stereo fm circuit for improved separation and low distortion in addition to all that it looked great. It really a a handsome looking receiver. And you'll see plenty of shots of it because i documented My restoration project of it. So you'll be able to get a good look at it. So i found my working unit on ebay for forty five dollars. It was like the perfect restoration project in the sense that with a little bit of work. And i'm talking about just a couple of hours of work. You could have something that looked ten times better than what you started with and you got it for a low price because you know one of the things about how ebay works is that is. Something looks really crappy. Obviously i mean that makes total sense right however when you know how to restore things you can look at things and say that only requires an hour's worth of work or two hours worth of work or i know how to you know. Get the part for that or or whatever and then suddenly those become you know hidden gems those become treasures that you can get a low price and then bring them back to life and you know. That's definitely what i thought i could do with this. Now it's funny. It took a long time for it to come. It came from new york. Of course right because i guess that's where a lot of those electronics are even those the mail order businesses. Well it came from new york in a large huggies diapers box that was split open on two sides and then it had styrofoam popcorn leaking out the broken areas of the box. I mean this thing. This box was possibly the ugliest box at ever arrived on my front doorstep at the studio. In fact i'm pretty sure that that driver who delivered it could not get out of his truck fast enough. You know what i mean. I i think i remember hearing it land on my doorstep. I'm not even sure if he said it down all the way i just heard this plop which probably made the seems split even more
