"A reason to get excited, get the wingers flying in behind, get rushed through the middle. And I think that's sort of adaptability with the quality that they have goals a long way. And the key thing has to say is belief, they were down, but they didn't believe that they were out. And I think this is a huge game for them. I think ten Howard said after the game the this is the most important when he's had since he's been in charge and he said, even though he's been living before we've been arsenal, this means a lot to them because they are top of La Liga and what a mom is for united because a lot of people are saying that they're back and you know they've said it in the past but you really feels like that. The players ahead in the right direction, the manager is as well. And you never really seem to find two bad periods of football from them. If they're flat for a section, they'll find something because the manager is wise enough to see it, to make the changes and to get the players playing in a manner, which gets the rest of the side going. And obviously, the big play steps up for them today when they needed to, but I guess this is the monitor that we can get you through for a little while, and that feels like. Yeah, on top of everything else, Luis, it's going right for Manchester United at the moment. It is a great point without it, that has changed a decisive for his side when it's going against them. Yeah, exactly. It made a fantastic point saying that the changes make that massive difference when they were suffering that right side of wabi saca going forward and living a lot of the space and football it made that change bring the lot and Anthony in that right side. So allowing them for it to be free in some other location and at the end it was a wonderful day. But also to see that right side not allowed Barcelona create chances create so danger from that side. So that we have to give it a lot of credit to read very well where it was happening what was united and how we adapt the team to what it was coming next and I think later with gar Nacho, bring it up front. It was just brilliant move. So at the end, again, I think that the man united now is called something different. It's not only have that philosophy or new way of play, but also a man I always ready to change the way of play. If they need it independent of what they got in front of today, it was a Barcelona that they lose the control very often in the second part of the game and today you got it in their advantage and it's called that's all who gave the win. Could that be looked at the difference between these two managers knowing about those game changes? Well, I would say that when we think about the confidence of Manchester United, if you want to see evidence and you want to see it displayed out on the field, watch Fred play. What Fred play watch him and think back to what he was at this time last year and watch him now and you're saying, wow, wait a minute. This is not the same guy. So is it about the player? Is it about the manager? Is it a combination of the two? There is certainly has been a growth to his game. And now that you're counting on his goals, but he finished his chance and he's finished his chance, not just because he takes a shot on, but because his willingness to read where that pass was going to be and take a step forward, not retreating as we have seen from him in the past actually taking a step forward and taking that first touch forward. And now being willing to take on the responsibility. So a guy who has been criticized, now playing very well. A guy like Anthony, who has also been criticized and has had injury issues in a moment that matters, clean finish. So the level of confidence across Manchester United is not just Marcus Rashford, which is obvious to see. It's across the board. And when you see this across the board, there is a difference there between what we're seeing from Manchester United and what we're seeing from Barcelona. And you wouldn't think it would be the case since Barcelona are leading La Liga in the manner in which they are. But a guy that everyone doski is not playing with a whole lot of confidence. The chance he has late in the match and at a time, that's a chance he puts away when he's feeling good about himself. It's not a chance that he miss hit. And that's exactly what he did. Louis said that when those kids looked lost for a long period of time, and he did. And a guy like that with that sort of experience, even the penalty was in all that convincing. You're seeing that from a few players in Barcelona and you wouldn't think it would be the case, given the level of success they've had. But they haven't been a an explosive theme in the attack, defensively they've been good and La Liga, but certainly in Europe that hasn't been the case. I don't know what the difference is. I don't know if it's just level of play in terms of some of the competition and some that they have faced. Regardless, we're seeing two different version of Barcelona very confident one and control one for long periods of time in La Liga and one that is controlled for periods of time in short periods of time in Europe, loses the ball in bad areas. It's given a lot of opportunities to stay and it's not coming up with the safe and now you see that you're giving up goals. Two different versions of two different teams. While Luis, why are we seeing two different versions like this, one in Europe and one in La Liga? Yeah, it's not easy to find. I really the question why the answer to why this team is changing probably in my opinion I think is the mentality when you've been out of the champs league the mentality have changed even though they arrived to Europa League, but then you got the pressure that you have to win the competition. You don't have to wait only against my united. You have to win the competition. They just are thinking ahead, probably you're going to miss what you got in front of you. Barcelona with a very haunting team that is still rebuilding even though they are in La Liga that they got copy that they know that they are going to be or they are very close to win La Liga. They continue in the same way. In Europa, you know that you need to change that kind of mentality and the players. Maybe I'm already plus you don't have all the players that you need to have for the Europa League. So you are missing a few players. The players who are coming in, they got the pressure with the likes of et cetera, they got it. The likes of sir Roberto is the first time that they play since quite a while. Only two games in a row. So at the end, they are a few things that bring Barcelona to that kind of point where you lose the control. You lose the confidence and today I think it was one of them. When you are in possession, what you are dominant, yeah, you think of the moment you feel dominated, is what you use the controller you know how to approach the same way. So that pressure I think is about Barcelona and today they could manage them. On the flip side, though, Nate, and it's hard to have anything book confidence in this Manchester United side right now. How worried are you for man city? There'd just be them in the table.

"Perfection is it a gift? A curse or a little bit of both. I used to think that striving to be a perfectionist was a positive personality trait because it meant paying great attention to detail, working hard and diligently aiming for what is best without settling for less. But what is perfection? And according to home, the entire concept implies a hierarchy and a constant judgment of better and worse, comparing everything to some ideal or standard to which we are all subjected since birth. Our obsession with perfection starts with getting perfect grades or having the perfect body perfectly round or sharp corners, perfect teeth, architecture, a perfect score, perfect pitch, or tone, and terms like proper and inappropriate. We tend to be drawn to symmetry and balance. And I didn't even realize I was judging the world this way until I heard the Japanese term wabi sabi, which actually celebrates asymmetry, rough edges, the incomplete the simple and the natural integrity and impermanence of everything and everyone. Something isn't deemed beautiful because it's perfect or everlasting. It's beauty is embedded in its very transience. After years of trying to measure up to one idea of perfection, wabi sabi is a refreshing practice that embraces what is slightly marred, scarred, aged nature made and jagged. I'm not just talking about aesthetics either. The more I think about my old definition of perfection, the more I realize how I've been measuring everything and everyone against impossible standards, and I know what you're thinking. Don't we need some standards and to set the bar somewhere? Well, why wasabi doesn't lower the standard or does away with it? It changes it. For me, the shift was from looking at something and contemplating whether it was perfect, efficient or ideal, to simply asking, does it work? Never mind if it's a little wobbly or doesn't match slightly uneven, isn't built to last for decades or is slightly off center if it works, then it's perfect. There is no English term for wabi sabi. I could only come up with rustic or makeshift, but neither of those captures the magic of it all. When I took a ceramics class last year and the cereal bowl I made didn't turn out identical to the perfectly round bowls that could buy at any store. I threw it away. I know I completely overlooked the fact that my bulls uniqueness is not only what gave it value. It would have served its purpose just fine if only I had kept it. I now consider wabi sabi an invitation to ease up. Loosen my grip, forget the conventional idea of perfection and stop judging anything as sub par just because it doesn't measure up to dare I say western standards. It took traveling to a third world country and witnessing wabi sabi as a guy on a motorcycle with a broken headlight, holding a flashlight in his hand to see the road at night. Farmers spreading unhusked rice grains from the fields onto the hot pavement to dry in the sun. The elderly revered and honored instead of tucked away in retirement homes, so we don't have to be reminded of old age, mismatched utensils, hand drawn street signs, and huts that are built entirely out of old plastic bottles. It's like everyone was a modern day Macgyver, or a genius out of necessity, and guess what? It works. So stop expecting perfection from others. I mean, it's not like you can offer it in return. A few people at our recent Buddhist boot camp discussion circles mentioned Native American tribes, the quakers, and many other traditions who purposely add so called imperfections to artwork, for example, as a reminder that only God is perfect. The overwhelming response to this invitation was that we need to set some standards for the sake of safety, for example, but that we can all afford to loosen up a bit. I can't tell you where to set your standards, but you can ask yourself if your standards are working for you or against you, because at the end of the day, only you know the answer to that question. I only share this with you in hopes that wabi sabi offers you as great.

"Podcast listeners I have some exciting news. My new book was just released and I will be on a book tour starting September 2022. First, across the U.S., then Australia, and maybe the UK and Canada after that. The book is called the opposite of namaste, and it is available wherever books and ebooks are sold. It is a curated collection of these podcast episodes in one spot and in a similar format to Buddhist boot camp, where each chapter is only a couple of pages long, and you can read them in any order. The book tour details will be updated regularly on Buddhist boot camp dot com, so check it frequently and we'll meet each other soon. I'm not sure I will have the space to record new episodes as frequently once I'm on the road, but I will continue sending you food for thought by email on the first day of each month. So be sure to subscribe at Buddhist boot camp dot com slash email. This intro will be removed from the podcast episodes once I return, enjoy the new book, and I will see you soon.

"To be honest because, well, you have a single user TX zero transaction, and that creates an output. And then you see where each of these outputs gets mixed in the first coin joint. So you know the first ten coin joints that the user did. And that's basically the same, then doing it just together in the coin joint. You get your so you have your input, just one large input, let's say, you get your private and onset outputs, and then you get a change, which this change is obviously linked to your input. So the outside observer knows the second round of coin join that you're going into. But that's the same as you spending the second output of your TX zero. Now it's you still know that there are two that these two constraints are related. However, doing it batched in a transaction, just makes it a little bit more difficult to find that out. Sure, it's easy for a whale, but if you're not the largest guy in the coin join, I mean, sure, it's possible to find that out, but it does require substantial amount more computing power than just going to block the stream dot info and clicking through the TX zero outputs. So yeah, but there's to all of these debates that we're having here. There are pros and cons, and there's so much nuance in how to implement this. And I think we just should be upfront and honest about these tradeoffs, and then try to improve them. And again, here's samurai giving us all that harsh feedback, so to say, was to some extent. Sure, annoying, but also extremely valuable because it highlighted certain parts that were not optimal in balsamic one absolutely. And that the loud feedback put it into focus point of hours, of course. And that's why we worked on wasabi two. And wabi sabi, because in my opinion, all of the critiques that samurai have put up and others, of course, both wasabi have been fundamentally addressed with two. And that's what I would love to see. And I'll sure we can have fun and bitch about choices that other developers made and call them names and be rough and tumble, I guess. That's all good. That's not per se bad. As long as we keep focused on actually building better tools that actually save the property of people. And as long as that's the end result, I'm happy and if we get a bit dirty, we'll get into that goal. I mean, so be it. It will be boring and sterile otherwise. Yeah, I think that was really well said. And it's way easier to be a critic than it is to be a builder. But I have one other question. This may be a little more lighthearted, but I noticed that you guys changed the lurking wife mode to discrete mode. Was that because of any feedback? Oh, yeah. The social justice warriors, fuck them. Oh yes. You could not imagine the amount of open issues that came with some mess JW with their pronouns in the GitHub profile. You know what I'm saying? But this is very disrespectful. Was it outsized number of them? Or just loud minority? Well, they're definitely a lot minority, but it happened multiple times. But we kind of invented this, and it's not that difficult to men, but we were like the first to put this as a highlight feature into the wallet. And afterwards, multiple wallets adopted it. And including Bitcoin core, by the way, and Bitcoin core called it privacy mold. And that was then our escape rationale of why do we change the name? Well, because Bitcoin core put it in this privacy mode. And let's just stick with that and get rid of the SJWs being annoying. And wasting time. However, I mean, privacy mode is a horrible name, especially with a privacy focused wallet, because just hiding the amount of Bitcoin that you have on the screen does not equal privacy on network layer or blockchain layer. So it's very confusing that way. And by the way, now we named it to discrete mode. I guess a bit of a better name, but not lurking 5 mode was like perfect because you got your wife lurking over your shoulder and you got to protect from that. It's like, it's a great name. But yeah. You know, these are some of the things where sure we could, you know, we could be like, we could keep wasting how many hours on fighting SJWs and closing their issues and muting them. But ultimately, why pick a battle? I mean, yes, it does remove kind of the fun out of wasabi. And to be honest, like, that happened a couple times and kind of pissed off about that. One of the things was in the early one versions, when you typed in the password, Chinese characters would show up. You know, instead of asterix is to hide the characters. And these Chinese sentences were like, ha ha, this foreigner does not speak any English or he does not know what he is typing and cut it, cut it, cut it. Or whatever. But that was fun, but also you would not imagine the amount of user issues opened with, hey, I'm typing in my password, but some weird Chinese characters show up. What's going on? All of these fun things. I'm already offended by your accent, max. Actually, we did not get any of this offensive. Things to the Chinese password box. That's fun. But you know, again, it's about kind of priorities. And but yeah, it's sad to see the fun kind of go out of a project, but to some extent it's inevitable as it matures. I've shown wasabi to I don't know how many hundreds or thousands of users, many of them first time Bitcoin experience, you know? And if you just sit them in front of the 1.0 UI, and you're like, here, please, you know, make a private Bitcoin transaction. They're like, yeah, what? It's just a initial UI was so overwhelming. You know, everything in one screen basically. And it required the user to understand a lot of advanced Bitcoin concepts. You know, like, what the fuck is a UTXO? Who knows that? 5% of the Bitcoin user base, and that's like what .001% of rural population. So nobody, you know, and that led to a huge amount of friction. And the reason why it was there is because for some people, one specifically, the conjoined zero link model

"Fact, from one user, and you were just the only other one there. And yes, that's a big problem. And even with wabi sabi, it gets worse because, well, one client could actually register all of these, and the coordinator would not even find out that this is one user instead of many different ones. But the so it's very difficult for a technical solution here, especially because any technical solution, like the input clustering, would reduce the privacy guarantees. And so one point always quote unquote better in this defense because inputs have users had to cluster all of their inputs, and there was a larger minimum denomination. And so it was much more difficult and expensive to civil attack this year. And then two also, by the way, the minimum input amount is now 5000 sats. So extremely low. And that means that in a simple attacker could, split or could create, well, no, that's the number of service notable. Sorry, different. But in any case, however, so the only, I guess, defense about these actual civil attacks is a high fresh Bitcoin volume for that coordinator. Because if you see in wasabi case, for example, with frequently months where 10,000 fresh Bitcoin were registered into the coin join coordinator. So 10,000 previously non conjoint Bitcoin, like not U takes off, but actual Bitcoin amount got registered to the coordinator. And so we could assume that especially considering also that the CK's next coordinator is publicly known and used since 2018 by numerous people that these are to a large extent fresh users coming in. So every month, 10,000 Bitcoin fresh users come in. Not all the time, but let's stick with that example. Then a civil attacker would have to, well, for each of these users kind of fake massively large coin joints. And that would require a lot, like ten X, a hundred X the amount of the fresh Bitcoin. And so civil attacking all the users isn't really possible. Just because there's too many users, too much liquidity, like you would need massive amounts of Bitcoin to do that. And then targeting a certain individual becomes also very difficult if you're not coordinator. Because you can not prevent other users from registering at that coordinator. And if you're not to coordinate or you can not block certain claims from being registered, so as a third party attacker, so to say, our adversary is singling out a certain user and then successfully attacking him, I find that to be quite difficult. We do get into dangerous territory if your coin joining with a small coordinator with little liquidity and I guess some dubious actors who might work together with a large volume attacker to block other honest users from joining so that the one user that you do want to the anonymize ends up joining the round, where then the adversary will is the only participant. But then again, what's going in favor of us here is that simple attacking is expensive, simply because creating UTX is expensive. And the simple attack is means you have to create many, many UTXOs, like 300 of them, or even more, you know? Like 300 in one round, have to be spent. So lots of you takes all have to be created, especially when you consider remixing and stuff like this. So it's going to be quite expensive to pull off a very large attack, but I guess we're talking about a whale adversary here who apparently has the money. So yeah, I mean, and then if you're up against like thousand Bitcoin adversary, like deep, deep, deep war chest, then there's very little that you can do to be honest. I mean, I would guess that wasabi wouldn't be the weakest link in the chain where such an attacker could exploit you. If you have that much money, you just get private investigators and meet space and satellite surveilling your house, you know, there's many other things that such a wealthy attacker could do. So let me shift gears a little bit. If I'm looking at wasabi wallet and I search for it, I come up with two top results. And so one is wasabi wall app and one is wasabi wallet IO. Are those both of you? Because they look the same on their website. Yeah, great that you pointed out and know what some people app is a spam website who's buying advertisements on Google to get on the top result. We've had many of them. Unfortunately, very difficult to get them off. And what's super interesting about this, so they have basically the exact same website and if you, for example, would click on download Linux or download for app for Apple. It would actually link you to the CK snack slash wallet wasabi GitHub repo where you get the actual Linux files. However, it when you click on download for Windows, it leads to a separate server to download a malicious dot MSI package. Which kind of sucks. It's also funny that the attacker only targets Windows users who obviously are new so we don't know what the fuck they're doing. But it's also weird because on Windows, we do these how do you call it Windows or Microsoft does some key authorization and some signing specifically so that you see a big green check mark in the installer wizard that yes this is coming from CK snacks. And apparently some users don't care. I'm not exactly sure what that malicious client does. It probably just steals the private keys I have no idea. It sucks. I mean, there's nothing that you can do against that other than, well, verify signatures, then you're safe, but I'm guessing Windows users don't do that. Yeah, I mean, it's pretty good one, right? Because it looks identical to or almost identical to your actual site and it induct go returns above your site. And the fact that it doesn't change the download links for Linux, like it actually got me fooled. You know, the first time I checked it out and I was like, oh, okay, this seems like this is correct. Is this our domain do we have a domain that I didn't know about? And then only later that I realized, oh, it's just a Microsoft package that's fucked. Well, I guess as a company you would request Google to take that down. Yeah, yeah. We do. It just takes forever, you know? And who wants to keep popping up? Yeah, this is a problem. I mean, outside of crypto, but especially in crypto, you know, people impersonate social media identities, people and person 8 domains. And some of it's pretty sophisticated. And this one, I would say, is a pretty good one, right? It's clever. It returns high results in the search algorithm. But so just to put a cap on that, wasabi wallet IO, that's you guys, anything else, beware. So are there some privacy tools or methods that you would suggest to wrap around your use of wasabi wallet? So what's obviously doing a lot on your behalf, right? And it connects natively with Tor. But are there things that you would advise a user to do, they would augment their privacy as they're using wasabi? That's a really great question. As you say, to a large extent, everything inside wasabi is kind of taken care of in terms of Tor and stuff like this. However, I guess the biggest advice is make sure you're operating system is clean because if that is fucked, well then you're fucked big time. And I guess a good way to go about this is maybe even to just create a separate user

"Arts, reiki, traditional Chinese medicine, homeopathy, acupuncture, and of course, macrobiotic and plant based cooking. Here's gene. Great to be with you. Today I wanted to talk about life's purpose. I over the past month of probably read about 6 books that the same theme keeps coming up and so because of this journey that we are on together, I wanted to share some of the highlights with you. And it is a journey and we're not meant to get it right all the time. As long as we're moving in the right direction, it's all good. And so the first tip that I wanted to share that's a theme in all of my reading is taking back our power. Stop letting others decide for us. We intuitively know what we need and what we want. And I think life's journey is about learning to find our voice and to communicate that in a productive way. Very important. Two, for giving ourselves and for giving others. I think we are so hard on ourselves. We'll make a mistake and we relive it a million times, as I've shared before, it's time to let that go. Learn from it, improve and move on and don't hold on to it. And then as far as forgiving others, that is so healthy, because it takes too much energy to hold on to that. So let it go. The third one is to be more self aware. When we're authentic, when we are our true selves, we shine and others love to be around us. Fourth is to learn to say no and to mean it. I think a lot of times obligations come up and we feel like we have to say yes. But if it doesn't resonate if it's not something that's important to us, we should say no. And we also need to say yes when we mean it. When we want to engage in something, when something is really going to bring us some joy. The fitness to let go of relationships that don't support us. Life is about change. We are not the same person we were in our 20s and 30s. And as we change the people in our lives will change and so it is healthy and it's okay to let some of those relationships go. The 6th is to walk away from negativity and abusive situations. We need to love ourselves enough to know when and enough is enough. And to choose a different path. 7 is to experience joy when we put our feet on the ground every morning. Let's set the attention that we are going to look for joy and find joy and have joy in our life every day. And have the courage to make those changes. 8, I think this is a big one. Allow others the freedom to be themselves. We're not the boss. We're only the boss of us. It takes too much energy to try to change others into what we think they should be. It's so healthy to stop judging and projecting ourselves onto others. That takes too much energy. Just stay in our own bubble. We know ourselves. We intuitively know ourselves just be who we are and how we need to be. 9 is to develop and express kindness and compassion and put ourselves in other shoes. Having that perspective is just naturally our hearts will open up to everyone. Ten is wabi sabi. Wabi sabi is a Japanese philosophy. It basically means nothing is meant to be perfect, complete or forever. 11 is it's okay to be selfish and have self care. We come first, we've got to take care of ourselves. 12 is we're a work in progress, we're doing the best we can do just lighten up. Put a smile on our face, let it float by. It's all eventually going to work out. And so my word of the week is journey. The J is for joy. Joy in the fact that we get to start over each minute each hour each day, we get a new outlook on life. The O is to be open minded, willingness to try new things. It's when we get bogged down in so locked in, that the world doesn't seem kind wonderful and exciting. But when we're open minded and open hearted, anything is possible. The U is for unafraid. No fear. Hey, we're in the driver's seat. Never apologize. This is our life. This is how we want it to be. The R is for real, the true and authentic, that is when we are aligned and we flow and life is easier. The N is for natural, tuning into our instincts, tuning into our intuition.

"But watching this game Everton played like a good U.S. men's national team play where every footballer suite and liked it so right. Every football, including some really spare parts, just gave their all and the fans color did the rest driving them onwards. That's what we should be playing right. Yeah, it was the energy and effort, and this idea like when you said earlier that Ralph rang had said his team can only really press for about 20 minutes. It's like this was an Everton team that ran their socks off all day. All day, got their performance out of Alex, it will be roger. Rondon came on and he looked like he was up for it. My gosh. He could run. He can run. Okay, you say, God, even Delhi, God bless him. I really rooted for a football. But just drifting that ball onto Rondon, even Rondon thought he could fly I believe I can fly. Maybe that's all Frank's doing is just plain that in the locker. Whatever you do, Frank keep it up, but yes, Rodrigo hit the bar with two drivers, but on this day we had the luck. People were so far behind. They're still traumatised by the dinosaurs. He spends his whole game now just squinting for the fans to see if there was a dinosaur Pickford boldly thought it was a real dinosaur, by the way. There was a real dinosaur. I tell you and add little arms and it looked like me. With arms just like mine. There was a pig for us. On this day, we had to look, David. We never have to look. We did. Donnie van der beek, in particular magnificent bless him. I will say after all he's been through. So good to see Donny. Donald. Donald. So good to see Donald. I'm very formal. Donald van der beek. So stop all that's very good seeing you play football on a on a team that needs you that appreciates you your presence, what you can do on the for we need him to love and be loved when I look at Donnie van der beek here on Valentine's Day day. He's a reminder that the most powerful human emotions most powerful human motivations are to love. And be loved and that's what Donald is going through. What a day three goals clean sheet taboo Delhi, God, come on, please be tasty. Good vibes FC is back. Frank Lampard Everton, David, four one win, followed by three one defeat, followed by a three no weather to Japanese term. I came across this weekend. It's a wabi sabi apologies if I'm pronouncing that wrong wabi sabi and I believe it's an appreciation for imperfection and impermanence and seeing ethereal beauty in those things. It kind of reminds me of Everton. At their best. Yeah, but look, if this was just a result that they got, you'd still be delighted with a result, a one nil win, even a lucky three nil win. You would have been delighted with it, but it was the performance, roger. And so it won't be a straight line. This is always going to be easier to do at home rather than the way. But they possess the ball. They just were superb in every single phase of play. And suddenly, you know, just look at the odds immediately immediately lengthen on Everton going down. You know, the smart money roger is not wrong. Everton, they'll lose a few more going in at the end of the season, but with performances like this, they're going to get plenty of points. They'll be fine. Glory days. Well well powered by. And as many GOPs you follow us on Twitter now, it's been a tough week for me. Martin Scorsese, who is at my feet as we pod was muted on Thursday. He's running around a little code around this neck. He looks like a character from The Handmaid's Tale when a walk image really got it's quite upsetting. And that mister Bannon to you tweeted, were all of Everton's troubles, located in Martin Scorsese's down below. I really believe this statement. Frank will do anything to get the job done, roger. He'll do anything. Marty's chestnuts died, so everything could live. I'm going to send my chest.

Making connections outside with emotionally safe people and you now i went to a eating disorder support group for years after i got out of treatment and to walk in a room. You know with twenty thirty women. All sitting there was a women's group. And every you know like you share and then the facilitator which say who can relate. Every single hand went up. I'm not allom and then it's you know hearing how they get through it to be so mean. Oh my gosh it's so freeing and and that's the thing we're not alone but when we isolate and with the secrecy we are alone so it's taking that step and being vulnerable a another host had asked me. Do you really feel you have to be you know so honest but you have to put it out there. I i was like a hundred percent. Because i can. If i don't share what's in my heart. And what i've been through. How can others relate and say. Oh thank god. I'm not alone. That was the whole reason for this book. It's very hard for me to put my life out there in this book. My sisters don't know the name it's under and you know. I've respected privacy of all the family but i have spoken from my heart and totally put myself out there because if one person can read it and say like oh my god. I'm not alone.

The whole purpose of the retreat with was led by shaman and and six days of total silence and and reflecting on just on on that fact that i'm i'm you know sixty eight years old. Ask myself the question. why can't i receive love. i can give love. I'm great lover. I suck at receiving love so seems to be kind of that route of it seems to be kind of the of viral issue.

I would've never even been on this journey of much. look within. let's feed this light inside. Let's believe on worthy and and reach for this and want to wake up and try each day.

Bill romer was the guy he was the most active guy in the development of informants. It takes a certain personality that everybody can't do that. I've noticed over the years.

Fbi's offices were always in the federal courthouse. They're not anymore than kansas city. They got a big fancy new office.

You just walk in the courthouse and you know there's one floor that would basically be the fbi offices. Y'all most there'd be awesome. Gamut secretary may be front. Maybe not depending on the time of day and in regards these. Fbi they'll never ever mention the name of one of their informants and less. That guys had to testify. His been brought out in court otherwise ages will refuse to say those names out loud and say that their informant. Which is you know rightfully so because these people have families and extended families you painted with this brush of being an informant and maybe they're dead but once it comes out they were. They're going to have a brother or sister. Children grandchildren out there community and they're gonna be ostracized because of that now. Bill romer did leave us some clues to couple.

"Welcome back to the outcomes racket. Today i have the privilege of hosting paul sorbo. He is the director of sales at wabi medical. Where they're helping the world to think better they're doing brain performance assessments with a very unique approach and in this interview. I have an extraordinary conversation with him. Learning more about how they're making a difference in brain health. And so with that intro. I am so privileged to have you here on the podcast paul. Thanks for joining me. Thank you chris. It's great to be here. Yeah so you know. We previously had another member of your team. Aaron from wabe. If you guys haven't had a chance to listen to that podcast go to the website. Go to wabe mad. And you'll see our rate chat with erin but today we've got paul on the podcast and he's gonna die of a bit deeper into the topic of brain health and what we're doing to do more and to do better within that field so before we do that though paul you know why. Don't you go ahead and tell us what exactly inspires your work in healthcare watts. Broad question to me I think for me it was always. I had a fascination with the human body whether it was from the performance aspect. i. I'm an ex bodybuilder. And so i always had this huge fascination trying to manipulate the human body to be the best at it could all the way through my undergrad. And we'll getting in about school. I had a huge fascination at the genome and and a genetic and solving things like duchenne muscular dystrophy with genomic other being crisper cast nine gene regulation. And you know all of a sudden. I started thinking about this and you know genetics. You're just familiar with upi genetics and and protonix. And when you really get into that you know you start looking at medicine as a whole and realizing that we are not controlling what we can. And that i want to continue to strive to make people the best version of themselves that they can be and continue to drive the education behind that specifically in now with lobby kind of the brain sector. Yeah that's pretty cool man so you did like weight training professionally or what. What's the story there. Never professionally I had a whole bunch of friends that were professional bodybuilders. Still to this day. You know on a fascination with muscle for lack of a better term probably unhealthy fascination for being I like to call bodybuilders the first bile hackers you know when when tides just now coming out and getting into mainstream medical community us bodybuilders. Been using uptight for twenty years and not in a nearly regulated fashion. Obviously very underground bro science for lack of a better term. But yeah i mean i. I'm five foot nine. I was all the way up to about two hundred fifty four pounds. It less than ten percent body fat which was not healthy by the way could punish shoes And realize that you know. I think that's a good topic of conversation about health. Though you know people. I think genuinely believe that external appearance can actually reflect internal health and that is so far from true. 'cause x i looked extremely healthy right. I ate what i thought right things. I had low body fat. I had astronomical amount of muscle mass for my frame but internally when i started looking at my labs my panels my lipid panels cluster all levels my ratios. My inner cellular calcium levels all of a sudden. I'm like close. I am the furthest thing from health. Yeah and you know. It's a good call and we've got a measure to understand where we're at and that's a lot of what you guys are doing with wabi around the brain so talked a little bit about the business and some insights about how you guys are helping. Health care leaders do their job around brain assessment. Yeah i think the key there to what he's done let me start by saying why doesn't do anything do what we do. Is we make information significantly more accessible so measuring the brain has been really underdone. Because it's never been a accessible be. It's never been affordable. Those are the two things that david oakley data joffe really set out to change e. g. and evoked potentials or. Erp have been around for sixty seventy years. The problem with both of those erp specifically was really only used in brain death situations to measure. You know long hospital procedure and prostate expensive and b. e. g. is really people are familiar with the g. from epilepsy studies. And these really terrible torture base you know. Eeg say league caps. You're just awful and they're expensive and they're not quick right so when you talk about measuring the brain you know. Are you going to send a client or patient to go. Get a yearly. Mri no are you gonna go send a client to get a yearly specs or anything else out there eeg. No you're not gonna do it because it's going to cost them. I don't know that many people that have five to ten thousand dollars our way every year. Nobody i mean right very hit. I know people that do it yearly. And i'm like that's excessive right but when you really look at that the problem is that by not doing that on a regular basis as we don't have a whole bunch of data on the parade you know it's not like we're able to just go in with a stethoscope and listen to the way than our heart is a. We haven't been able to do that with the brain and so really. The only clinton which measurement is happening is when. There's already a problem whether there's already issues of cognitive decline whether there's already ti stroke whether there's already behavioral sheeps and so we don't really know these baseline normative were supposed to be or house amongst progressing their cognitive science progressing as they age. And that's really. The foundation of lavi is providing a simple fast and affordable assessment that we establish a baseline and then compare subsequent. Scans to see how someone is progressing

The Aesthetic Moment
"In the nineteen eighties. I took a workshop from David Bales. Who along with Ted Orland is one of the authors of that really terrific called art and fear? We had a long weekend to work with. David doesn't ever so who were attending the workshop and he began the workshop with something. I've never forgotten. He asked us why we make art. And we went around the table and offered are somewhat stumbling excuses about what motivated us to WanNa make art. He then proposed that all of us were essentially the weird ones in society. He put it this way not not to insult but just to be more clear and more precise he said. Do you realize how many people there are in the world who have a camera who have no compulsion whatsoever to create artwork and so the obvious question is what makes us different. What makes us want to become artists with the camera? And since we're a relatively small group of people compared to all those who own cameras doesn't make sense that we're kind of the odd ones. Everybody else is normal. But we're the ones who feel compelled and he proposed that we needed to think carefully about why we wanted to make artwork. He didn't answer that question. He left it for each of us to stew on it and to come up with their own answers. And it's taken me many many years but I think I have a better understanding now of why it is that I wanna make art. Let me ask it in a slightly different way. What is it that we seek in the process of being an artist? Well some people seek fame or money or accolades. But I suspect that most of you listening to my podcasts are not interested in fame money or accolades unless they fell in your lap. I mean we'RE NOT GONNA TURN IT DOWN. But that's not the reason we pursue our art because if it was we'd probably be doing different kinds of things photographic -ly than we do so for most of us were seeking something else. What is it that we seek from our creative life? I'M GONNA go out on a little bit of a limb here and explain what I think. The answer is for me. It may or may not be an answer for you but nonetheless here it is for me in a nutshell. What I'm trying to accomplish with my art life is to have a certain kind of experience. I kind of got onto this idea with cardiac Brussels. The decisive moment in his thoughts about photography. I have different term. I call it the aesthetic moment. That's really why I'm photographic artist. I seek the aesthetic moment and I suppose in order to make that clear. I kind of need to explain what I mean by the aesthetic moment. The best example I can think of that isn't about photography is probably Haiku. So let me begin by talking a little bit about Haiku with a couple of examples. The great translator of Japanese Haiku of course is our H. Blythe. He did a wonderful series of books. There's a four volume set called Haiku. Each book is a different season and he also did a two volume set called the history of Haiku. I have loved these books now for forty years and I go back to them from time to time and RH Blythe says quote. The nature of Haiku cannot be rightly understood until it's realized that they imply a revolution in our everyday life in ways of thinking. Close quote that is to say the aesthetic moment. The aesthetic moment is the moment when we have a shift of consciousness. I I tend to think of it this way. It's a sudden and off an unexpected shift in awareness when the everyday act of seeing becomes a fleeting but meaningful glimpse at some sort of deeper understanding. That's a very coarse way of trying to explain an if you've had the experience you probably know what I'm getting at if you haven't had it maybe a couple of Haiku will help so here's a good example of the shift of consciousness in talking about in this Haiku a brushwood gate and for a lock It's nothing more than a moment of recognition. When all of a sudden something is seen little differently is seen unexpectedly when in this case the snail is not normally the lock. But we kind of see it that way because we're not gonNA go through the brushwood gate because we don't want to disturb the snail and so the snail becomes the lock. Here's another one in the old will. A fish leaps up at a net. The sound of the water is dark. That Haiku brings forth in me that aesthetic moment. I'm not thinking about the water. I'm not thinking about The dark but somehow the fish leaping brings us the darkness of the water to my attention and I have a moment when I'm sort of separated from normal consciousness and I have an aesthetic feeling for what is happening that I would not have had. If in this case the fish had not leapt up at nat so that experience sparked something in the person who wrote this Haiku. I think it was ISA but I'm not exactly sure. Remember that right. But it sparked an aesthetic moment and became the genesis of the Haiku. Here's another one. The Autumn Wind is blowing. We are alive and CONC- each other you and I I have this idea here of two people who've maybe spent the day together maybe they've been photographing together. And all of a sudden the autumn wind blows. And you realize the person that you're with is there. In the moment they become even more alive and even more real than they have prior to that that somehow there was that shift of consciousness that happened when the wind was blowing and the connection was made one last one the bright autumn moon on the Tatami Mat the shadow of the pine tree here again I visualized sitting in some old Japanese hut somewhere. And here's the bright autumn moon and with no other lights around all of a sudden because of this bright moon I see the shadow of the pine tree on the floor. And there's a connection now suddenly between the moon the pine tree the light and me and it's more alive than it would be if I wasn't paying attention so once again that sudden and often unexpected shift in awareness when the everyday act of seeing becomes a fleeting but meaningful glimpse of understanding of connectedness of really becoming aware in the moment. Lots of other photographers of talked about this. And it often comes up with a phrase. I've never quite sure I understand. And that is the Japanese term. Wabi Sabi I I don't I. I can't speak to that because I'm not really sure I understand what that really means but I do know the moment when looking at something ordinary I experienced that. Flip of wariness. Now I I'm not very verbal and I'm not a poet so I I don't do Haiku so for me. The attempt to express that aesthetic moment takes on the form of visual art hands on photographer. But one thing I do know is you can have that breakthrough to the aesthetic moment in all kinds of possible things in photography it can happen in the field

Wabi Sabi
"Perfection. Is it a gift a curse or a little bit of both? I used to think that striving to be a perfectionist was a positive personality trait because it meant paying great attention to detail working hard and diligently aiming for what is best without settling for less but what is perfection and according to home the entire concept implies a hierarchy and a constant judgment of better and worse comparing everything to some ideal or standard to which we are all subjected since birth. Our obsession with perfection starts with getting perfect grades or having the perfect body perfectly round or sharp corners. Perfect teeth architecture. A Perfect Score. Perfect pitch or tone and terms like proper end inappropriate tend to be drawn to symmetry and balance. And I didn't even realize I was judging the world way until I heard the Japanese term Wabi Sabi which actually celebrates `asymmetry rough edges the incomplete the simple and the natural integrity and em- permanence of everything and everyone something isn't deemed beautiful because it's perfect or everlasting its beauty is embedded in its very transients. After years of trying to measure up to one idea of Perfection Wabi Sabi is refreshing. Practice that embraces. What is slightly marred scarred aged nature made and jagged? I'm not just talking about aesthetics. Either the more I think about my own definition of perfection. The more I realized how I've been measuring everything and everyone against impossible standards and I know what you're thinking. Don't we need some standards and to set the bar somewhere well? Wabi Sabi doesn't lower the standard or does away with it. It changes it for me. The shift was from looking at something and contemplating whether it was perfect. Efficient or ideal to simply asking. Does it work? Never mind if it's a little wobbly or doesn't match slightly uneven isn't built to last for decades or slightly off center if it works then it's perfect. There is no English term for Wabi. Sabi could only come up with Russ decor makeshift but neither of those captures the magic of it. All when it took a ceramics class last year and the cereal I made didn't turn out identical to the perfectly round bowls I could buy at any store. I threw it away. I know I completely overlook the fact that my bulls uniqueness is not only what gave value. It would've served its purpose just fine if only I had kept it. I now consider Wabi Sabi an invitation to ease up loosen my grip forget the conventional idea of perfection and stop judging anything as subpar just because it doesn't measure up to dare. I say Western standards. It took travelling to a third world country and witnessing Sabi as a guy on a motorcycle with a broken headlight holding a flashlight in his hand to see the road at night farmers spreading unhusked rice grains from the fields onto the hot pavement to dry in the sun the elderly revered and honored instead of tucked away in retirement home. So we don't have to be reminded of old age mismatch utensils Hendro on street signs and huts that are built entirely out of old plastic bottles. It's like everyone was a modern day macgyver or genius out of necessity and guess what it works so stop expecting perfection from others. I mean it's not like you can offer it in return. A few people at our recent Buddhist bootcamp discussion circles mentioned native American tribes the quakers and many other traditions who purposely add
Talking Tech
No F8, I/O and other conferences this year
"And even on nights and weekends turbo tax. All people are tax people for the last fifteen years. I have been attending the mini tech conferences. The pop up in the spring. If it's April it's time for facebook F eight Google I O in May and the best of the bunch apples. Wdc In June but not this year. The effects of the corona virus in the fear of having too many people together in a room has caused F eight I O and Mobile World Congress to cancel along with the photo trade show Photokina in Germany. How do we feel about that? Let me count the ways on. Today's talking tech. I'm Jefferson Graham. So the developer conferences are the time when the company's trot out their latest product offerings. Give you a sneak. Peek of what's coming and try to get the crowd hyped about working with them for facebook. It's getting developers. Software engineers to make cool stuff with facebook for Google is more about getting great apps made for the Android smartphone platform while apple's ww DC is different in that its actual news for you and me. The company sneak peeks the new version of the operating system and that tells us a lot about what the next iphone will look like in the fall facebook. Google and apple have turned these once. Dull developer conferences into million dollar presentations. That are now live stream so the world can see. They're finely tuned commercials and that makes it not as important for people like me to be there in person because everything I need is online. I won't miss being there. But the developers do not go to hear the keynotes there to network to mingle because some contact might be impossible to reach on the phone or via email and there he or she is. That's why people pay five thousand dollars up to attend these things that in some of the hardcore educational sessions. That might actually teach them something not this year as of March third south by southwest says it will still go on despite the loss of facebook and twitter as exhibitors will see. An Apple. Hasn't said that it will cancel. Ww DC. We can go a year without them but as human beings. Wabi won't miss the keynote presentations. We will miss the mingling. We like being together. And of course the Convention Centers Hotels Airlines
