Hope you're well And say I hope you had a good weekend I've got a good Wednesday It's very hard for me not to root for American teams in world competitions it never even occurred to me that I would not a Who will I root for if not be how could that be I love my country But I I hope the women's soccer team loses I'm not only not rooting for them. I hope they lose They have contempt for me and my country so in turn I have contempt for them It's not a complex issue. I Don't root for you just because you are American and Stand for the opposite of everything that I treasure about being an American So this though the story is worldwide, but here it is from the Daily Mail the British website US women spark fury with another listless rendition of the star -spangled banner at the World Cup as Holland's players proudly sing their anthem with arms wrapped around each other so when I was in Europe last month, I wrote like a column my weekly column about how much better I felt in Europe now to be honest that was Eastern Europe But this would be an example We Were talking about the Netherlands which is a pretty woke country I might add But apparently it's women's soccer team Loves their country more than our soccer team Women's soccer team loves their country The Dutch were involved in colonialism and imperialism and all that stuff But apparently the women of the Dutch Soccer team do love their country Gleefully singing Their national anthem with their arms wrapped around one another our team looked For the most part there were exceptions like they were About to undergo Life -threatening surgery What am I doing here with this crappy piece of Lyric and music being played for a place for which I have contempt Well, how many are on the team 15, I don't know how many are on the team Of the luckiest human beings on the face of the earth Only Six players held their heads to their chest when the star -spangled banner was playing and Not all of them were singing most were not Those who did such as Alex Morgan Julie Eretz and Lindsey Horan Appeared to mumble the words rather than sing loudly along they wouldn't sing loudly along because The truth is it took some courage just not to be silent With the ugly human being talking about ugly in a moral sense Megan Rapinoe in the lead with her contempt for the United States of America By comparison the Dutch team that's a team against which the US women played and they I think they tied the Dutch team sang proudly to their anthem Wilhelm Wilhelm us With the players wrapping their arms around each other before the game began in Wellington New Zealand all 11 Dutch women sang their anthem Too bad.

Daughter of Holocaust Survivor Exposes Similarities to Nazi Science
"What? I'm talking to John stranded doctor Simone gold. Remember them? I am so thrilled that I get to continue the conversation with you both. A couple of things I want to cover. First of all, Simone in your talk that you gave at my friend rob McCoy's church in California. You talked about because you're the daughter of someone who survived the Holocaust about how dramatically similar things happened under the Nazis, how they defined science in a very self serving parochial false way. That really happened. And we kind of tend to act like, oh, that's an outlier. That was the Nazis. So talk about that. Right. So you look back in the past and it all just kind of is amorphous and flows together. But then look at the details. If you look at the actual details and you say, are there perilous in the past that you can draw on reference today? So people say, oh, that couldn't happen. Now, but let's see how it all started. The Nazis, of course, we all know they killed Jews, and they killed homosexuals and they killed gypsies. They killed communists. They killed anyone they could, right? Anyone wasn't pure Aryan in there by their definition. But that was the end point. They're starting point. Was a lot of scientists gave them cover to do the violence and the mayhem that they did. There was specifically the Kaiser Wilhelm institute, which was run by a fellow who actually won the Nobel Prize in medicine, a fellow who was not considered anti semitic not considered a particularly political, was just considered to be all about the science. And he came up with all sorts of status documents and data showing what they wanted to show. Jews were a different race, Jews were inferior, the way their skulls and their noses were in the brain, all this stuff, all this they used anthropologists, they used psychologists. They used psychiatrists. They used medical doctors to prove what they wanted to prove, which is that there's a subhuman race and therefore you could kill this race. Okay, so this is based on, I mean, this is the eugenics movement comes out of that. The abortion movement comes out of that. And ultimately, it flows from Darwin, this idea that, you know what? There's no God. And science shows us that some groups are more evolved and superior to others.

"Origin, soon to cross the Mediterranean to join the war in Europe. Hence, it's the perfect target. At 6 O 8 a.m., the gobbins 6 inch guns opened fire on feeling Bill. Shells damaged the railway station. They blow up a magazine. Other buildings around the harbor suffer damage as well, while French coastal batteries answer in kind. The action is only ten minutes and fails to strike French troops or transports, but the admiral is satisfied. This will do for now. The mighty battle cruiser steams off to rendezvous with the one other German warship in the Mediterranean. A light cruiser called the SMS breslau, which just hit the Algerian port city of bone. Yes, this was a coordinated attack. All the admiral's idea. The two German ships are now steaming east to the Italian island of Sicily. That's about 500 miles, though. So as we travel, let me give you the full details on admiral Wilhelm souchon situation. At two 35 a.m. this morning, Berlin instructed him to head to the Ottoman capital of Constantinople. See, two days ago, on August 2nd, the German and Ottoman Empire signed a secret treaty. But it's only a defensive alliance against Russia and the Ottomans aren't rushing into war. Thus, Berlin hopes that the protective presence of the all powerful SMS goeben in Constantinople's waters might encourage their new ally to take action. But Wilhelm was already so close to French North Africa that he decided to carry out his pre planned attack there first. With that done, he's ready to leave this two vessel squadron to the Ottoman capital. They'll need to refuel for this long voyage, hence the stop at Sicily, but additionally, the admiral must also be mindful of another new challenge. Now that war has broken out. Enemy vessels. It's now ten 34 a.m.. The goblins crew spice two gray masses on the distant horizon. It soon clear that their British battlecruisers. The indomitable and indefatigable. Damn it. Admiral wonders if his nation is at war with Britain yet. Well, better safe than sorry. To battle stations. The British and German ships charge right at each other. They're soon passing, but neither fires. Nor salutes. Then the two powerful British warships turn about. Do they intend to strike? No. Britain's first lord of the admiralty Winston Churchill has ordered these two bowel cruisers to shadow the govern. But the German admiral doesn't know that, and he isn't about to risk his crew, especially as the HMS Dublin joins the chase. Wilhelm pushes his stokers to fire the goblins already imperfect boilers as hotly as they can for hours on end. Incredibly, they managed to outrun pursuing British and lose them in the mist that night. The next morning, August 5th the goeben makes it to Sicily's port city of Messina. But Wilhelm receives a cult greeting. Though part of the triple alliance with Germany, Italy has cited German aggression and declared neutrality. Therefore, this is no longer a friendly port. Officials give the 50 something admiral 24 hours to depart. He loads as much desperately needed coal as possible, but it's not enough. He arranges for a coal carrying cargo ship, a Collier, to meet the breslau somewhere at sea. It's now 11 a.m., August 6th. Soon departing Sicily, the admiral receives a message from the German naval staff. At present time, your call Constantinople, not yet possible for various reasons. Further word from Berlin also informs him that the austro-hungarian navy won't help yet either. Meanwhile, Britain has declared war. In other words, Wilhelm's friendless heartless and low on fuel in a hostile sea. Seeing no other options, the admiral decides to lead his two vessel squadron to the Ottoman capital anyway. He'll just hope the unwelcoming situation changes before he arrives. Nearly the moment the German vessels enter international waters. Britain's light cruiser for HMS Gloucester is on the tail. Day gives weight at night and for a while, four British armored cruisers joined the hunt, but back off before the sun rises on August 8th. Not the gloss itself, and at one 35 p.m., one of her 6 inch guns fires at the breslin. The German vessel answers in kind to salvos. This it seems is enough. The Gloucester backs off. Confusion overtakes the British navy in the Mediterranean for 24 hours, as war with Austria Hungary becomes official. Meanwhile, the German vessels steam into the Aegean, where, on August 9th, they gratefully meet with the Collier and take on coal. But still, they must make it to Constantinople. They're picking up British radio signals. That means they're pursuing hunting foe isn't far behind. It's now the afternoon of August 10th. The goeben and breslau maintain 18 knots as a steam into the dardanelles. The German crew takes note of the Ottoman Empire's Crescent bearing banners fluttering above the historic forts on either side of the Europe and Asia dividing straight. But the Germans still don't know what's going on diplomatically. Are they welcome here? The German warships come to a stop. They and the Ottoman forts train their guns on one another. Two Ottoman destroyers are soon steaming toward them. The admiral wonders will he and his men die here? Will they be turned away to meet their debts by British guns? It's neither. The two Ottoman vessels signal that they are here to escort the Germans through the mine laden strait. Relief washes over the German crews. Perhaps they have friends in Constantinople, after all.

"Air products became the current owner of the technology after purchasing the GE gasification business in 2018. According to literature, the coal gasification process used oxygen and cold water slowly as feedstock for a gasifier, which used high temperature and pressure to produce two gas streams, shifted gas and raw synthesis gas. The two product gas streams left the gasifier and were purified, hydrogen sulfide, and carbon dioxide were removed via the rectisol process, which is licensed by lending and air liquid. The hydrogen sulfide was converted to elemental sulfur in a shell claws off gas treating unit while the carbon dioxide was recovered and sold to make carbonated beverages. The purified raw synthesis gas was cryogenically separated into hydrogen and carbon monoxide, with hydrogen used for methanol production, and the carbon monoxide used for acidic anhydride production. Now the final step used in eastman proprietary reactive distillation process and catalyst system to produce acidic and a hydride. Purified carbon monoxide reacted with methyl acetate to form acidic anhydride. Now in May 1983, operations began at the Kingsport plant, which became the first U.S. facility to use a novel coal gasification process to produce a modern generation of industrial chemicals. Now let's turn our sights to liquid crystals and conducting polymers. For more than 30 years, electronic providers have produced items such as cell phones, personal computers and laptops, and televisions with ever increasing ultra clear displays. Now these technologies would not be possible without the advancement of liquid crystal polymers, technology. So although first discovered in the late 1800s by Austrian botanist and chemist federic rhino. Liquid crystals did not find commercial success until nearly 100 years later. In the late 1880s, rhinos here was experimenting with cholesterol benzoate while heating the organic chemical. He noticed that it changed from a white solid to a hazy liquid, which then turned clear at higher temperatures. So according to the literature, riots are observed that the liquid passed through two different color forms before returning to the original white solid form. Rhinos were concluded that the substance passed through two different melting points, which should not exist. German chemists Wilhelm Heinz observed the same phenomenon while conducting similar experiments on fatty acids in the mid 1850s.

Wilhelm Wright gets to get. A baby a lot of Wilhelm's work gets thrown out like the baby in the bath water. He was a little bit of a mad scientist, so he devised technology like the cloud buster. He had organ boxes where people could sit inside them and there'd be temporary healed from certain illnesses. But it was in the era of the wild west of psychology. So there were some of his experiments were a little bit yeah, left field. However, in that his characterology stuff is useful and versatile, which Alexander Lohan took on board and devised a little bit more. He's got a great book called depression in the body and speaks to how he treated people with depression, long-term chronic depression by massaging and making the do specific body movements. And then Alexander Lohan partnered with John paras and created core energetics which is what I'm trained in with her more exercises. And with John, he involved more of the heart. So he wanted more of a compassionate heart focused purpose focused and also tied in some spirituality as well in that container. So yeah, those three, those three chaps. That's awesome. That's really cool. And based on packing it in my mind and just going through some of the stuff you said then, and it seems like just getting inside your mind and how you're seeing it just to completely understand the concept.

There's some strange anomalies with them were trees and grass. Don't burn the remains of the fire is not black the way would would normally burn. It's gray everything gets decimated to nothing to almost a white greyish powder metal is melting plastics. Don't melt except touching metal at separates. After so if you just look at those things and i'm not trying to create fear but there are things out there and you have something on your house that is connected to that group of beings well said and another weird little rabbit hole that relates to the fires is just that through so many different avenues. I've learned that there are ways to make it rain from kind of consciousness energy based indigenous practices. Which you know some people still doubt. But there's a lot of data in that sphere to cloud busters from wilhelm reich to various forms of cloud-seeding. And i know that geo engineering is a big red flag. But there's many different ways to to do that. And there's many things that fall under the umbrella of geo engineering. The point being there are ways to make it rain if you want it to rain so this idea that year after year we have to have these fires in certain areas. It really feels like they're pushing people off certain lands that they're trying to cause as much asses they can but it's as much as there are weapons to make fire. It seems like there are also tools to make rain if they were wanting to implement that correct and once you can see at that level than you see what they're doing and what. I'm telling you is everything that they're doing in. Those veins is commercial clever doing that but unfortunately at least me and maybe some others can see it and therefore know what to do about it and they weren't expecting that I agree and can you maybe elaborate on where you learned what you learned. This is such off the radar information. How'd you come across it by being in the court system and literally trying to figure out what was going on because i could tell it wasn't what i thought it was right.

"Wilhelm over at Bloomberg reports that Congressman Kevin Brady relayed today, presumably among Some of the Republican congressman coming out to just flame the bide administration for, um what The truth is about Afghanistan, Kevin Brady, indicating that the intelligence shows that the number of Americans have actually been evacuated from Afghanistan is just 4000. Approximately 4000 so far out of the soap at his supposed 15,000 Americans that are believed to be in Afghanistan, although if you ask the State Department and the Department of Defense and the White House that quite frequently cannot give us a specific number, but the early numbers that they were giving the United States Senate And those briefings where they believe that there are 15,000 Americans anywhere between 10 to 15,000 Americans in Afghanistan, this as the White House Insisted yesterday that it is totally out of line to suggest that Americans are quote stranded in Afghanistan. Here's Peter Doocy and Jen Psaki making mixing it up yesterday. As Peter does, he asked a very obvious question about the Americans that are stranded there. Sake gets your hackles raised. Does the president have a sense that most of the criticism is not of leaving Afghanistan? It's the way that he has ordered it to happen. By pulling the troops before getting these Americans who are now stranded. Does he have a sense of that? First of all, I think it's irresponsible to say Americans are stranded. They are not. We are committed to bringing Americans who want to come home. Peter Deuces, the irresponsible one here, everyone the White House the White House now judging, you know who is responsible and who's not, and it's Peter Doocy. He's the bad boy, put the dunce cap on that guy and throw him in the corner home. We are in touch with them via phone via text via email fear anyway, that we can possibly reach Americans to get them home. If they Want to return home. No American strain is the White House's official position on what's happening in Afghanistan. I'm just calling you out first thing that we are stranding Americans in Afghanistan. When I said, when we have been very clear that we are not leaving Americans who want to return home. We are going to bring them home. And I think that's important for the American public to hear and understand. I'm just calling you out. Z Snap do do do what do they call it sake bombs, So that's the The left is very They love when Jen Psaki fights with Peter Doocy, it's not like The normal people see that Peter Doocy just decimates Jen Psaki when he asked the obvious questions like this, But if your brain is screwed in backwards, then you you think that's a sake? Bomb? Yeah, she totally got him owned high five as if that's the most important thing you know. Meanwhile, Americans are actually truly genuinely stranded in Afghanistan. Look no further than CNN's Jake Tapper reacting to this moment yesterday, Look, I understand. The people are working long hours in the White House, the National Security Council, State Department, Pentagon and over in Kabul to get Americans out. This is what we call throat clearing when you this is the part where you have to be like, Well, obviously you're all my friends, but that country and I understand the White House wanted to reassure. The nation that all Americans will ultimately be evacuated, But But there are no doubt Americans who feel stranded in Afghanistan right now. Yes, some of this appears to be as you point out a message of reassurance. And and some appears to be parsing words. And what exactly is stranded? Jen Psaki appearing to say that if you want to get out the U. S have great length. Is there really much of a debate around what the phrase stranded means? If you're trying to make your way to the airport, you're being beaten by the Taliban and you can't get through the line to get to the airport. Believe that would be called stranded to get you out of the Pentagon has acknowledged in a limited number of cases, according to what we've heard that there have been Americans who are having trouble getting through Taliban checkpoints who are having difficulties and problems getting to come. You know what I'm fearing here? Is that come a week from now that the administration is gonna be coming out and saying Well defined the term hostage. Define hot. What do you mean? When you say hostage? I resent that You used the phrase hostage. When we have a full blown hostage crisis going on in Afghanistan because the Taliban they're playing Joe Biden like a federal right now. The Pakistani funded Taliban. I should say the American funded Pakistani funded Taliban Yes, that's right. How much American aid has gone to Pakistan? How much Pakistani money has gone to the Taliban through the years. Via their intelligence services. It's a lot just tons who was supporting the Taliban, the entire time of the Pakistani intelligence services. Has been sending money into Pakistan. The United States billions of dollars in aid. Uh Donald Trump tried to appeal some of that back by the way a couple years ago. What? The Taliban, calling all the shots, the Taliban issuing threats, they say if you are not out by August, 31st, that's the drop dead date. The one that Joe Biden came up with. Joe Biden came up with this drop dead date on the back of a napkin. He just whipped out of barn Afghan and he wrote. Okay, August 31st after he had written September 11th down and then crossed it out. Remember that The first drawdown date was September 11 2021. At the rate we're going, It looks like September 11th might actually be The end date here, if if The White House if the Biden administration were to actually stay in Afghanistan to get every American out. But right now, what's happened in the last 24 hours is you've got the Taliban issuing direct threats to the Biden administration, saying Yeah. You've got to get out by August 31st or there will be consequences. There will be consequences as if we were in some sort of agreement with the Taliban about the date. This was a date that we invented. And now they're saying we're holding you to the negotiation you have with yourself. August 31st get out or consequences. Okay, so that is a threat. I don't know how else you could perceive that given that it's I don't know the Taliban. That you know it's synonymous with Al Qaeda. In practical terms. This is the Taliban, a terror organization, saying there will be consequences. I wanted to Biden White House signal today. We're going to get out by August, 31st. Thank you, sir. May I have another We're out. By August, 31st. Now does that mean every American is going to be out by August? 31st? No, it doesn't at all. It does not at all In fact, You have Democrats. You had Adam Schiff out last night. He walked out of intelligence Briefing a classified Intel briefing, CNN reported. Ryan Nobles is a CNN reporter. He tweeted last night House Intel. Sure, Adam Schiff just left a classified Intel briefing in Afghanistan and he broke a significant amount of news here are the highlights, he tweeted. First, he said, Getting all the Americans and the allies out of the country by August 31st. Yeah, that's unlikely. This is Adam Schiff. Adam Schiff is the biggest Democrat hack on the planet. He is a walking Number two Democrat party pencil. That guy will do anything for that party, and even he's saying guys kind of a problem here. We're not going to have all the Americans out. They're not going to be out by August. 31st quote, Given the number of Americans who still need to be evacuated the number of s I V s the number of others who are members of the Afghan press. Civil society leaders, women leaders. It's hard for me to imagine all of that can be accomplished between now and the end of the month. Now shift is not creating all He's not, you know. Inventing all of this. What he's saying in so many words. He was just told in the intel briefing. We're not gonna be able to do it..

Is This Ancient Biblical Forgery Actually Real?
"So close to a century and a half ago. A man named moses wilhelm shapira found fifteen manuscript fragments in a cave near the dead sea. They were written in an ancient hebrew script and contained. What shapiro claimed was the original book of deuteronomy blitz despite interest from the british museum to the tune of a million pounds. The manuscripts were found to be forged. Shapiro was disgraced and the documents disappeared but now a scholar named don dershowitz is questioning. If those documents might have been real all along so while the british museum was examining the manuscript fragments for authenticity themselves. Back in the nineteen th century. A few of the fragments were also on display to the public already attracting tons of visitors. The news of the possibly oldest ever discovered biblical manuscript had made headlines around the world. While awaiting the museum's official decree of authenticity. Someone else decided to take matters into their own hands. Charles simone clermont. Is you know who the times describes as a swashbuckling french archaeologist and longtime nemesis of shapiro's end quote examined the fragments for a few minutes and immediately went to the press to say that they were fake. The risk he played on his cursory examination paid off when the british museum experts agreed. Shapiro was humiliated by this and ended up. Tragically dying by suicide a few months later. The documents were sold at auction for a fraction of what they were originally expected to sell for. And most people soon forgot about the whole thing now. Dershowitz from the university of potsdam germany has published a new paper and companion book making the case that the manuscript was real all along quoting the new york times but dershowitz makes an even more dramatic claim the text which he is reconstructed from nineteenth century transcriptions and drawings is not a reworking of deuteronomy. He argues but a precursor to its dating to the period of the first temple before the babylonian exile that would make it the oldest biblical manuscript by far and an unprecedented window into the origins and evolution of the bible and biblical religion dershowitz. His research closely guarded until now has yet to get broad. Scrutiny scholars previewed his findings at a closed-door seminar at harvard in two thousand nineteen are divided. A taste of fierce debates likely to come but of dershowitz is correct. Some experts say it will be the most consequential bible related discovery since the dead sea scrolls in nineteen forty seven and quotes the times. Sagely points out that it's much tougher to prove something authentic than it is to prove. It's fake but there's an additional hurdle to be jumped. In this case the physical fragments themselves may no longer exist so back in eighteen eighty three there was a mad rush at the time to find biblical artifacts that would prove or disprove various points of contention emerging in biblical scholarship moseley around the documentary hypothesis. The idea that the first five books of the bible or the pentateuch were actually written by various authors. Not just one traditionally thought to be moses. It was in this climate of aggressive archaeology that shapiro. I established himself as an antiquities dealer in jerusalem and during which time he and clermont no became enemies. After camacho correctly denounced a collection of pottery. That shapira had sold to the german government. It's also important to note that shapiro was a convert to christianity having been raised jewish in russia so he was viewed with some skepticism from the other biblical scholars and archaeologists and also faced intense antisemitism after the deuteronomy manuscript was denounced. Fast forward to now. Dershowitz says one of the main reasons he thinks the fragments could have been real is because their contents differs quite a bit from the deuteronomy in the bible and many of those differences lineup with discoveries that were only made when the dead sea scrolls were found in nineteen forty seven sixty four years. After chapitoulas discovery of the fragments dershowitz also investigated. Some of shapiro's personal notes archived at the berlin state library and found three. Handwritten pages of shapiro trying to decipher the fragments. Filled with question marks and transcription errors. Dershowitz said quote if he forged them or was part of a conspiracy. It makes no sense that he'd be sitting there trying to guess what the text is and making mistakes while he did it end quote while some scholars of the evolution of biblical text or undershoots side cautiously believing the deuteronomy fragments may be genuine. Most pig refers people who study inscriptions are the ones that usually authenticate documents. Most of them aren't convinced they say the original fragments bear the hallmarks of modern forgery. That they agree with the notes made by the experts who examined them at the time and since no one has the fragments to examine physically now. It's a closed case and as for the content being impressions christopher rolston leading pig refer at george washington university said quote. Forgers are pretty clever with regard to content and they've been very clever for twenty five hundred years and quotes despite dershowitz his published paper and companion book. The jury is still out and who knows if it will ever truly be born ounce. It would have some pretty huge complications. If it does due to some of its key differences for example. It's missing all of the laws of the deuteronomy were familiar with in the bible. Ones upon which traditions and entire libraries have been founded. It would also bolster the theory that are tons more stories and traditions out there than just the ones that have been preserved in the hebrew bible.

"There's a German word for that. So one thing that we've lost this past year, something big something we all take for granted. I think something kind of frightening and its implications. And that's the idea that we could come out of the national election and agree that it was legit. And agree on who won You're either on one side of this or the other Whether you think the man in the White House today won the election fair and square You don't Stated clearly and unambiguously I and the producer of this radio program side with all the people out there who do not think the election was stolen, including apparently now former Senate Majority leader, Mitch McConnell, who said that people who believe otherwise we're fed wise. Right now. Millions of people believe that the wrong guy is in the White House. A third of all voters believed there was widespread fraud. Which is remarkable, right? Back in November. Journalist in Germany, Jochen Bittner was watching this unfold, seeing the fake evidence that was showing up into the hashtag stop the steel reading the president's tweets about supposed election fraud. And for some reason what's going through my mind was then the memory off. The DOJ's stores, Lagonda or the step in the back with the stab in the back myth that I learned about in school anymore less every German would know the step in the back in this Because it was such a potent life in German history. Stop this deal is about losing an election to stab in the back myth is about losing the entire war, namely World War one. Their parallels between the two lies in the way they took hold that are unsettling. History goes like this basically became a point in 1918. United States had entered the war German suffer defeats. There's clear to everybody that Germany was going to lose. In fact, Navy sailors refused to head out to be killed on what they saw his suicide missions in a war that was doomed within Germany. Lots of the population was against it. And so in 1918, the Germans surrendered. German Emperor Kaiser Wilhelm, the second abdicated the throne fled the country. Germany became a democracy for the first time, but right away start 1918 coincidentally, also a global pandemic going on. Right? Then the 1918 flu 50 million died right then, starting a 1918 right wing politicians and newspapers started pushing this sly kind of.

So the fishermen went but when he came to the shore the wind was raging and the see was tossed up and down in boiling waves and the ships were in trouble and rolled fearfully upon the tops of the billows and the middle of the heavens. There was a little piece of blue sky but towards the south all was read as if a dreadful storm was rising at site.

See he said she is not this grand with that. They went into the castle together and found a great many servants there and the rooms all richly furnished and full of gold and chairs and tables and behind the castle was a garden and around. It was park half a mile long full of sheep and goats and hares and deer and then the courtyard were stables and cow houses.

Equity Shot: The DoJ, Google, and the suit could mean for startups
"Hello and welcome to an equity shot. My name is Alex Wilhelm. I Have Danny Crichton on the phone Danny, how are you? I'm doing. All right. Alex how are you today? Better than Google who has been sued by the DOJ and eleven state aid over anticompetitive behaviour. Now, Danny we have known for a long time that this was coming. It was pre sage tr- think rather heavily I had a chance to dig into the actual filing. I have many many opinions but just going to set the ground people are tuning in and unsure of why we've reached this moment why Google and why? Now why did take me a little bit of time to find the filing I using bang and after I gave up and Use Google which may be part of the problem but let let's let's boil it down. Obviously big tech has gotten really really large over the last decade there's been increasing concerns about all the big tech companies everything from facebook to apple, Google and onwards and onwards. What are the angles that the government is trying to take on unto regulating these companies is around antitrust. In the United States the major antitrust act is the Sherman. act. That Jay filed under this morning under section two it's specifically focused on search and particularly search advertising and so. One of the things on the conference call with journalists. This morning that the wd was talking about is obviously there's a lot of concerns about social media bias. There's a lot of concerns Abou- Anti competitive practices around android and chrome, and a bunch of other issues all around tech. This lawsuit from you Jay is only focused on searching particularly search advertising and the reason. That sort of comes out of some of theories out of Yale and some other law schools which are focused on Google's consolidation of the ad market over the the arts and teen to its acquisition of Doubleclick and a bunch of other at tech companies over the years. So they've launches lawsuit they have eleven Geez all those agencies were gop, agee's and it's filed this morning. To point out that this is all about focused on search search access in some way more than I expected the circular benefits that Google gets scale as google has more data coming into view usage you can improve its products and therefore it's better than everyone else, and so the is how does Google maintain all of this market share and my read of of of the lawsuits some of the points are pretty good. Some were bad. So I think that there's a key paragraph that I went to bring us everyone listening. That I pulled out from the filing. This is from deeper into it. So if you go just meet the I won't see it but it's a good summation. So if you'll excuse my terrible reading voice here, we here's a DOJ's opinion about all the stuff google has unlawfully maintained its monopoly by implementing force in a series of exclusionary agreements with distributors or at least the last decade particularly when taken together Google exclusionary agreements have denied rivals rivals access to the most important distribution channels. In fact, Google exclusionary conduct cover almost sixty percent. Of US search queries be things like it's android device agreements. I'd add almost half of the remains are funneled through properties owned and operated directly by Google. So essentially, this boils down to Google has used commercial relationships to essentially force other companies specifically device manufacturers to pre install google software and give Google search preeminence. Google then gives manufactures often cut revenue back to make it look like a transaction but in reality if you want to run ANDROID, you have to use Google on your phone or you can't get access to anything. That you need, and then therefore you become a partner and the consumer gets Google kind of pre installed and pre defaulted. It might my issue at this is a pre default or a preset default is not a death sentence and this DOJ filing kind of treats a preset default, the end of the conversation for that consumer. So if consumers were just more active in picking what they wanted us, there won't be much of an issue here. So I'm curious about your view on their relative strengths of the different arguments as you've rhythm. To me the with nuts here is to think back to use v Microsoft you know what? Two decades ago in one was a landmark trust case particularly in tech but even just generally, it was focus on defaults of browsers within explorer explorer on windows and twenty years for we're still talking about default search engines that are browsers but through browsers, it's not even about the browser. Today. But basically, what search engine is in the bar up I, think that this is an interesting angle. Again, I think the advertising pieces much more critical. The advertising market Google is very dominant and it's network effects is very, very strong and network only exists because Google owns a frivolous vertically integrated sort of add operation right now and can really join in any part of the tier. Tracking the can't do analytics because Google owns a whole stack and so to me that has always been the strongest part the the browsers are tricky, right so so Google does pay apple for instance, billions of dollars to be in safari and particularly mobile safari. It pays Mozilla hundreds of millions of dollars of not billions of dollars to be the default search engine in Mozilla, and that's one of the largest revenue sources for the foundation and the company. Google's argument has always been consumers have choice. In fact, BING DOT COM is less characters than google dot com it takes less work to get to Bengal com a crazy as it sounds but the reality is that has this victory in search for reason, is because they own so many different components they have you know excerpts from different sites that are built around technologies that you know even here tech-rich we have integrate with Google search to ensure that our articles are given priority in those search engines so we can't just. Ignore, Google entirely, and so I i. think the argument is fairly decent. Now, the challenge here is that there's so many different angles there seventy lost his the democratic. AGEE's have their own lawsuit underway and they've said they're going to continue to do that separately from the DOJ congress's looking into second to thirty, which affects more facebook but also potentially goodwill as a sort of open harbor and forgetting the term. Now you say her safe harbor harbor it's a safe harbor I think safe harbors would have opened component they'd be lake. Exactly, the pond. Yes. The savings bond, but you know there's all these different angles I think what's interesting is the timing obviously the the DVD and his staff this morning really emphasizing this sort of the right time he said, it was after sixteen months of investigatory work on the antitrust division happened to be exactly two weeks before major US election to the reality is is as has been a discussion at the DJ. For a decade. So you know it is obviously particularly all-time. The reality is they've been doing this work since you've only years possibly even to the Bush years as well.

Talking to the Other Side
"Hello and welcome to the sustainable future for Friday. The twenty ninth of May. I'm Angela. Day. The thing all this episode is talking to the other side. How do we talk to the other side about the climate emergency? How do we find common ground? How do we get everyone working together? I spoke to Kevin Wilhelm. Ceo of sustainable business consulting in Seattle. I'm talking to Kevin will help. Who with naturally Huffman is joined all through a book called how to talk to the other side finding common ground in times of Corona virus recession and climate change. Now I know the coronavirus recession of very much for front of our minds at the moment but the climate change emergency has not gone away We really need to be able to talk to the to the other side because there are people who are vested interests and there are people who dogmatically opposed to the idea that climate change is a problem. So how do we talk to the other side Kevin? Well I think that the biggest issue that most people have said they've they've already set their mind set that they can't agree with somebody who may disagree with them and when we talk about issues like climate change versus Economy Muniz has been going on for for decades all the way back to say in the in the United States since nineteen eighty seven. But even if you think of the the first Earth Summit Rio in the second one in South Africa both times there was kind of a economic uncertainty that was going on globally and politicians and business groups said. Hey we can take action on this because it's hurt the economy and the same mindset is starting to happen now I you know through my consulting work and what we laid out in. This book is laid out dozens of examples of businesses that have made more money by Leaned into the climate change efforts. Because they've saved on energy. They've saved on Water. Saved on transportation costs innovated new ways of delivering products and services in your even seen it in the in the financial markets. You seen Ones where we've had record growth of the stock market for the last ten years up until February of this year and even during that time Those companies that were on say the Dow Jones Sustainability Index or the S. and P. Five hundred environmental and social impacts outperformed attritional indices which were performing record highs. And so. There's this myth that you have to give up money or sacrificed. Do the right thing are mentally and from a climate perspective and what we wanted to do was really flipped at notion on its head and show the examples of where it's win win no matter your perspective or not and so that. That's one way that we've used as an example to bring people from opposite sides because we feel like money is kind of like nonpartisan issue like if if you can make more money and I can make more money than then ideology somehow falls away a little bit. But then you've the very big players particularly well in energy and I'm GonNa talk about oiling. Talk about there is not a lot you can do to change your business to be environmentally responsible. I it's just gotTa be you you Mined Coal in an environmentally friendly way. Least if you do burning. Coal is not environmentally friendly so the sorts of pressures that we've got to find common ground with or at least we've got to convince them that we need change. Yeah absolutely I mean Colt a really difficult one I. I like to look at the entire. Fossil fuel industry is as one area and then each of them a little separately. So if you think about it we used to call them oil companies. Now we call them energy companies. And that's because you know. Bp Shell even Exxon Mobil realize that there was going to be a finite resource and the cost of getting to some of these places was going to be really difficult. And so as you've seen oil prices come way down that the more extreme places like the tar sands or the deep ocean off of Brazil. Just make no longer make financial sense. And so that had to shift because wind and solar power had become cost competitive. And so you've seen these these what we're traditional oil companies switched it become energy companies because they realized they could still provide energy different way. We've also seen a number of energy companies that have switched from coal to natural gas A. because natural gas is cleaner. But mostly because it's cheaper right now with all the the fracking that's been going on

Chlorine gas released at Second Battle of Ypres - April 22, 1915
"The Day was April. Twenty Second Nineteen fifteen. The Germans released chlorine gas during the second battle of Abra marking the first effective use of poison. Gas On the western front chemical weapons have been used for hundreds of years at the end of the nineteenth century and into the twentieth treaties and declarations began acknowledging the issue of poison gases by forbidding the use of poisons in Warfare The Hague conventions of eighteen ninety nine and one thousand nine hundred seven for instance forbade the use of poison and poisoned weapons. But this rule was violated in the first world. War World War. One is sometimes referred to as the chemists war because of the role chemicals and technology played in the conflict chlorine phosgene and mustard gas all caused many deaths and injuries during the war the production and deployment of these gases posed a health threat to combatants civilians and people involved in their manufacturing processes once the war began. Germany put a lot of effort into researching and producing these chemical agents. German chemist. Fritz Harbor helped develop Germany's poison gas program harbor headed the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Physical Chemistry and Electro Chemistry he was also given an army captain and led the Chemistry Section at the Ministry of war and Berlin helping coordinate the production of ammonia needed in the war many people condemned harbor for his role in chemical warfare though he won the Nobel Prize in chemistry in nineteen eighteen for the synthesis of ammonia from its elements Swedish pharmacist. Carl Wilhelm Shula discovered chlorine back in the late seventeen hundreds as a gas. Chlorine is a greenish yellow color. And it is two and a half times heavier than air. Though chlorine is used in some household products and in drinking water it can be used as a poisonous gas chlorine gas stays close to the ground in areas without wind and spreads rapidly. It is very toxic to humans when a person breeds chlorine gas. It reacts with Moist Tissues like the eyes throat and lungs to form. Acid inhaling low levels can cause I scan an airway irritation as well as a sore throat and cough exposure to higher levels of chlorine gas can cause chest tightness wheezing shortness of breath and broncos spasm if a person is severely exposed could get Pulmonary Edema. A condition caused by excess fluid in the lungs. Chlorine gas is easy to produce and handle harbor turns to chlorine gas for use in chemical warfare. The French launched tear-gas attacks against the Germans early. In World War One and early in Nineteen fifteen the Germans fired thousands of shells filled with the irritant xylitol bromide at Russian troops blew off. In this case the weather was cold and the chemical could not vaporize to pose any threat to the Russians but on the evening of April Twenty. Second Nineteen fifteen during the second battle of.

We're talking about stem inist at that. I mean women who did incredible things in the fields of science technology engineering or math. Today we're heading back to sixteenth century.

Who's Right About The Economy? Wall Street Or Silicon Valley?
"Who's right about the economy right now. Silicon Valley or Wall Street. Let me start by saying that. We're going to hopefully have really speculative high level discussion about the global economy here. And I'm pretty. I know for a fact. I'm not qualified to have that kind of a discussion. And maybe you aren't at the level that I M- aspiring to here either. So I think we're GONNA caveat that guys at the top but Alex look the reason we're is because on twitter. I saw a piece the gist of which was You know everyone that I talked to in tech and Silicon Valley and investing and venture venture side of investing. They're all sort of battening down for a nuclear winter and then meanwhile the stock market while not back to where it was you know is sort of roaring back and so. I've been asking people all the time like who's right here Wall Street or Silicon Valley and so let's start with your piece and let's start with the tech side. Which is I guess. You've been hearing the same things that I've been hearing from venture folk and stuff like that. Yeah it seems like we're on the same page going back to your very generous intro. I want to say that. Not only are you and I not qualified. Has I don't think there's a person alive who is because no one's really seen this. Before the the scale of unemployment the rapid rise of unemployment the complete destruction to travel. I mean this is. I hate the term unprecedented. Because it's so kind of lazy to catch all for like. Oh Gosh but I mean this is unprecedented. We do not know what's GonNa Happen and so I I think speculation is the right game here. We'll do our best to be as as coach unreasonable began. But like we're going to be you know a off of our offer shoulder here we're GONNA be. Maybe like I said to you over. Tm We're going to be in our dorm room getting a little high kind of the we're going to be on that level a little bit but that's the goal so You go first. Give me just. You don't have to name names but give me a broad sense of what you're hearing because you cover SAS a lot and enterprise a lot but also investing in those areas too. Yeah yeah so I part of my job as a as a reporter in the technology in kind financial world is that I talked to a lot of venture capitalists a lot of folks he put the money into the startups that you hear and read about in the media and usually speaking for the last forever years. They've been upbeat. They've been positive their complaints have been you know. My portfolio companies can't hire fast enough. Or You know. Everyone's watching the same channel with ads and now the tone is different than the tone is is much more negative and downbeat and people are generally pretty okay about this like look. This happens every ten years. No big deal. But certainly companies in our portfolio are struggling. And what I'm hearing from them is ruined for a tough patch. People are going to be going through layoffs. The economy is going to go through recession. This is gonNA take some time. It's not gonNA be a v-shaped recovery. As talking point loves point out it's going to be a U. shape recovery at best and and and then I turn around and I look at the stock market and any small news item that could be construed as positive sends the dial by five hundred thousand points. And I'm just sitting here going. What in the hell's going on because you know to me both these people both these groups of people can't be right at the same time and the piece was an attempt to begin to kind of poke it then toured part. Yeah and I WANNA come back a little bit too. We'll say the stock market speculation such as we can do for the second half but The the folks that I know in the venture world are basically. We're we're still at the stage where they're telling their companies like stop hiring hoard cash like batten down the hatches. The people that I know that are the entrepreneurs are like you know basically everyone that I'm talking to in in that world is like What's what's what's the quote from. Last of the Mohicans stay alive whatever occurs. I will find you like so first of all in the SAS space. Like in your we're talking about like like startups in the space or are seeing things. Like fifty and eighty percent drops in new bookings like Gimme some of those anecdotes. Yeah so if you covered this offer base at all or even just really any start about their. That sells a product that recurs that you pay for more than once what? They really care about his churn and they want to keep sure. Absolute minimum turned his. When someone who was paying you no longer is. It's like the worst thing And enterprise software companies tend to have very good churn which they have very little churn and that's why they're so attractive to investors and that's why they've become a huge part of the venture capital world so when we talk about the health of enterprise SAS. We're talking about really the health of a big chunk of the world of venture capital and investors. I've put tons of money into this group of companies and really believe in the business model and the sector focus. Bigger companies are saying that churn is going up and that's impacting. Everyone's ability to grow on the other hand. There are also seeing new bookings new business coming in the door. Go down there seeing. Churn go up. And there's a new book go down which is double effect on growth. He brings growth down very sharply. Because you're losing stock your bucks leaky and is less new stuff coming into the bucket So it's kind of a double whammy and that's why I think a lot of people are doing kind of what you said. They are slamming the door and hiring. They are hoarding cash. And ironically their pullback in spend is going to hurt other companies that are selling stuff to companies like them so there's a there's a a circular firing squad effect to some degree to get really Dorky if listeners want the kind of insider stopped we're seeing stuff like ACV's go down SEV's average annual contract values. You want those to be as high as you can't. It means that when you land a customer they're worth more People are being forced to sell for lower prices and trying to get more discounts. Acb's are also slipping and it's hard to find a positive Positive talking point inside this knicks of stuff. It's a mess in other words. So let's let's do devil's advocate for a second again. You're talking about largely enterprise software. So what if everybody just collectively over the last six weeks or so? Did the thing where they're like all right. Everyone freeze in place and then Well okay maybe it's not so bad which again we'll get to that with the stock market. Maybe that's what's happening. Maybe it's not as bad as we thought and so then things will start to creep back are are we seeing any sort of signs that that might be the case right now or is it. Is it too soon to tell that sorta stuff? I think it's important to note that we're still on the downward slope of I would say the broader Economy End Looking Valley The state of fear is getting worse as opposed to better still and people are talking about Q. Two being pretty terrible so that may happen that kind of sit back and go okay. Maybe things are opening back up. Maybe about to get better again. But I think it's a Q. Three discussion and I'm not predicting that on just my gut instinct and kind of my thoughts dots based on what people are telling me about what to expect for Q. Two And just add context to that. I spoke to a number of these these with partner. Natasha crunch and we're looking at the Boston market a market. That we love and those are saying Q. One won't be as bad as you thought because January February pretty good for these startups choosing to be a hot mess so the people that are putting the money into the firms. Expect the next quarter to be terrible. Maybe you're holds up in Q. Three but those green shoots are more like you know late summer as opposed to early spring. Well speaking of your podcast m correct me. If I'm wrong but at least and again this could be again acute versus q versus q three thing at least as far as I know we haven't seen like actual numbers of investments that. Vc's have been making sees up terribly right like it's it might be down. You would think it would be down but it's not like horribly down yet. A very similar point to what we just went over because V C as you know and everyone listening to the show knows is very laggy. You'll hear about it on a market was closed in December totally standard. So the Q- want numbers are just the rounds that were announced in q? One effectively? And here's the thing even inside those metrics you can see some deterioration in March and I'm just beginning to parse through all the reports are coming out from CBS sites in pitchbook. And everyone else. So I don't have the the firmest view yet I will in about a week and a half but marches bad. The numbers weren't as good as they could have been and people are expecting once again cue to be worse. Vc's are not contrarians they are. They are momentum investors and they don't like to say they don't to be called that but they are and they're they're all listening to other and listen to the The prior carnage stock market somewhat. And I think they're pulling back. Dramatically valuations are going down and new deal getting harder and harder to land because feces are focused more of their portfolio. The new bets. So I think it's it's again acute you. Problem MADE ECONOMY COMEBACK IN Q. Three may get better.

Why Front's Series C matters
"I'm Alex Wilhelm and once again I have have denny Crichton with me Danny how are you doing. I'm doing awesome. That is that's enthusiasm. You are back in New York. I'm in Providence and I have to say I've I've had enough of this shit. I want some summer but the good news is despite the terrible weather and the time of the year. There is a gazillion things to get to. So I'm going to skip the usual faffing about and jump bright in. I'm going to start the show with front which I need you to explain to me why this particular funding round was such a big deal. Right you'RE GONNA kick off the entire show that so start with why. Hi the Health Care Front. Raise fifty nine million dollars in series C and Here's here's the deal. They didn't have a lead. They had no investors. There no lead V. V. C. WE KNOW Vision Fund. No no sequoia. Although Sequeira did the series B. on they actually lead with a couple of really prominent be to be CEO and founder so lasting Cassia and founder Mike Cannon Brookes octa CEO and Co founder Frederick Harassed Multiplex Co founder and CEO. Ryan Smith Zoom CEO. Eric Yuen. What's interesting here here is is? We're getting to these late. Stage growth rounds at a time when there's more growth money than ever and basically said now we're good we're just gonNA take from really prominent angels. Who all of that exited you know? Kind of startups and. So what's interesting here is twofold one is one the dynamic. VC industry which we can talk about more but to actually kind of the strategy here of front is a B. Two B. Product Arctic. Selling to other kind of B2B startups and so by taking this money from other kind of B. Two B. Sales centered Start founders and see IOS. They're really kind of like buying. I'm from their own customers so to speak right synchronicity. That's connecting the two together. So the fifty nine million dollar round had no lead. VC there was no like Kleiner liner coming in here right in the big check. I'm curious do you think that the disease that previously invested got pro rata in this round or do think it was all just money from these I guess executives turned angels. I think they've got Harada me. I don't think it was in the press. Release that they did but I am sure they did. I'm also not entirely clear that these folks took the entire round. I mean there could have been nate. Twenty or twenty five million dollars slug from around that was announced yama funding from a farm that was announced But nonetheless like the fact that it was positioned this way If you imagine in ten years ago this sort of round first of all wouldn't exist but this ground where we would said Oh a bunch of angels came in late stage. It'd be like well. This company must be doing terribly wrong Novi. ABC was willing to lead the round. Things have changed so much. That founder can literally say God. We got a couple of individuals around at the party. At the craps table they put in fifty nine million bucks. We're going wow unbelievable. They said no to everyone. It's amazing change in time. It is but also I'm kind of embarrassed by the number of people I know on this list. Like I know Frederick a little bit I know Ryan a little but I know Eric a little bit. I think I've met J. I mean I think I need to change industry industries because the the same eight people keep coming up. That's embarrassing to me. I need any new friends. Let's talk about what the company does front is be messaging kind of calms thing. It looks like email works for teams. I'm assuming this is kind of product aimed at customer support customer success kind of groups. Yes affront fronts. Innovation was really for a lot of top companies they have an email like support at techcrunch dot com or press at at Google Dot Com. Which is actually how we reach out to right? And so when that goes into Press Google Dot com on that actually gets centered and moved around the the thousands of people who are in Google Google to figure out how to respond to it. So if he's coming from an ad tech crunch email address like from us he goes to our tech crunch contact if it goes to APEC Asia. Pacific it'll go to someone who's live overnight overnight overseas and so basically thousands of people are accessing the same email inbox and so. Have you ever tried to do your own inbox with g million. No it's basically impossible with one goddamn person on the box. Now you had an hundreds of people all of whom are interacting with the same emails etc and suddenly. It's just a complete mess front. Took that and said Hey. What have we built in box from? Scratch zooming that. There are thousands of people or hundreds of people reading the same tickets reading the same emails. And how can we respond to it. Really really effectively. Huge problem tons of companies have it. They've been super successful. It's only a couple years old and what's interesting is actually the the founders are French It actually has a large Parisian office one founder Laurent Had A decade and enterprise. And then WHO's also female be to be founder of rare breed unfortunately in the industry who CEO up and she. She kind of came out of her master's disagree in two thousand twelve and dived into this and front. So it's a five year. Old Company raised one hundred thirty eight almost one hundred forty million bucks. An insane amount of money ended the speed was raise capitals crazy because their series of ten million was back in May of two thousand sixteen. Then Bam sixty six million early eighteen and then two years later fifty nine million so really. It's pretty frontloaded or backloaded. I'm sorry to kind of where we are in time now. I'm curious to see how much more capital they'll need to scale this to IPO. It's already kind of there. But certainly a lot of star power a lot of customers on this new investment and. I'm kind of curious that this is a trend that will see a flex from companies. That were so hot. We don't even need venture capital all the real stars of our industry the money in It's certainly a new way to approach it absolutely. I think one of the key lessons here at least for me was a company that really figured out product market fit super early on You know if you look at it was founded Five years ago it took two years to build out so uncork. Capital is sort of a firm that argues it focuses on product market fit. They raised three point. One million seed in October two thousand fourteen and then once they sort of got this product market fit. And it's sort of obvious today but looking back in time the idea that there d the SASS product to fix this team oriented email. inbox was sort of not a concept of. Now it's just scaling right it's all sales scaling And so we're seeing the rounds. Get faster and faster. Because they're repeated you you know the sales are repeating assuming the growth is repeating internally. The numbers look great. It's sort of classic SAS business I expect us to see as one hundred millionaire our club as you call it hopefully in the next year or two that there hasn't been announcement around the revenues but I expect it to constitute here about their W. two and a half year over year now has a pretty quickly quickly there probably. I Dunno just guessing. You're twenty thirty million era or somewhere in there and they'll be largest soon enough. Let's talk about the couple world through a different Lens. Though you have been looking at Tau really large funds cutting smaller and smaller Jackson. We're talking about funds at have billions in assets under management writing five seven million dollar checks which seems to make no oh sense. According to the old model of larger funds larger textile works otherwise. They can't really disburse the capital. But that's changing and I want you to tell you why because to fascinating fascinating kind of like nuance about today's venture capital market. Absolutely free front is a great example of this right. So here's a fifty nine million dollar check that no growth stage investor mister. WHO has a billion dollars ready to deploy was able to invest it and so we're seeing once again The largest funds billions of dollars. We had we talked about last week. Show I think we had twenty-one fundraisers that were over five hundred million last year. It was ninety one somewhere in that category so a ton of money deployed and so the idea that you would do early. Stage investments is nuts. Because you can't deploy million dollars a thousand times a year and so the challenges is like. Why are people doing this when I started asking if he sees the answer was well once the the cap tables in the series B and D are out there? They're locked it in a sequeira already in the a benchmarks already in the a founders fund the and they have the capital to deploy in the B A C D E F g all the way through the Sesame Street Alphabet All the way through and so by the time you get to the D. you have no access or in the case of front. No one had access suicide. Basically you have to lock in earlier in earlier and so even if you're the Softbank Vision Fund you WanNa throw four hundred million dollars in series d you have to be in the seed or the series. He's A to start to lock in that Barada to start locking in those early ownership rights. It just gives you more ball control later on because other people are going to kind of knock you out of the way to get around in place and so there's sort of this paradox. Where we're seeing? You know the the largest latest stage funds doing the smallest early stage rows and so that that was a really interesting dynamic that we haven't seen before yeah and the one thing to keep in mind that when I was learning about the BBC World you know maybe a decade ago. Now I was always told that if you couldn't find a new lead investor for the proximate round the next one. It was a very bad signal because it would imply that no one else in the market one to lead your Siri seafood areas to be and having Europe preceding investors. That were leads lead. Your next around was a very bad thing. Now it's entirely flipped on its head because capital is sufficiently unscarred so ample so much flowing around the people want to stay in a company. Preempt preempt that next round they want to lead be and then the as much of the capital to work as they can on a winner to ensure that they can return enough capital to make their large fund contractive enough to raise a second one. So it's a facet of there. Being too much money in the market is certainly a change. Compared to how things used to work it's actually an inversion but it just goes to show how in twenty twenty the way the world works certainly is at least in my experience new. I'm maybe it was like this back in the late. Ninety something but certainly it feels like a new chapter and I presume zoom. Welcome back to what used to be normal when there's less capital around but I don't see that happening for the next eighteen twenty four thirty six months so this this is the way it's going to be Danny presented for the next while.
Tai Asks Why
Why is space so dark if its full of stars?
"Quite space. That's a deep question spaces dark because the universe is expanding. That's why spaces dark it's expanding and it's finite right because if the sight line through space ends on a star then that intensity of starlight would be the brightness rightness of that spot but most places you look do not land on a star so the expansion dilute starlight and not only that we don't live infinite universe because it for infinite eventually your sight line would land on a star if it did that the whole night sky would be ablaze with starlight. Oy Not Gaza. I'm GONNA play cool but you know stock to. Neil degrasse has Tyson's so it's a bag dale reason we see darkness instead of all starlet everywhere because the universe is expanding. The starlight is moving away from us and also because the universe is finite. If we look in a certain direction there might not be a star there but that's some big confusing really works your mind answer so i. I have a lot of fog questions. I have to get more answers. Neal was busy doing amazing astrophysics stuff so I went to visit my author author personal astrophysicist Heidi White the University of Toronto to help me see what's going on with all this light and the COSMO's all right now. Let's turn this on war on the roof of the astronomy building downtown Toronto in a warm pretty clear really windy night look. It looks like you're back to like fire laser. We're just firing up the telescope to check out some bright space objects that are close to US tidy that way. Let's move it a little bit and you see this. Let me move it up so you can pay it no friend he then that's Jupiter C. thanks yeah those are moons. We've it go. Heidi tells them not alone wondering white everything around my new. Pal Jupiter is so dark three hundred hundred years ago apparently there was this dude named wilhelm older who asked the same question you know the observing that we're doing right now is very similar to to the night sky observing that overdid over was doctor during the day and at night he turned like the roof of his house into an observatory and God at night just like we are and study what he you could see in the solar system so because older wondered why the sky was so dark. Apparently they named the question. After after calling it paradox basically the paradox that if the universe infinitely big infinitely old infinite general as they believed seventeen hundred then the whole sky should appear to be super bright all the time but it isn't and we know now oh boy Neil said the universe is an infinitely big. Neither is infinitely old. So why does that change the brightness of the Scott. What do you know about our universe and how long it's been around thirteen point five billion years like thirteen eighteen point six now close about thirteen point eight yeah so we know that our universe had a beginning and you know what that beginning was. Big Bang Bang release more just a very wet inflation just went really big. There was no big explosion or anything this kind of inflated like a balloon very quickly yeah. That's a really good analogy actually to to visualize the expansion space time one really good thing you can do is take a balloon and put a bunch of dots on it and then blow up the balloon start to cities. You put more air into it. Got Sort of what's happening is based on things are moving further and further away from one another but this is important in the context of understanding the answer to overs paradox because is what this means is that things haven't always been the way they look right now. The speed of light is fixed and what that means. Is that if we look look far enough away. What we're effectively doing is looking back in time in that way? Telescopes can actually be time machines because the most distant stars light in the universe hasn't had time to actually travel through space because it's been expanding to actually reach us the speed of light is three hundred thousand kilometers a second so the light from Jupiter takes thirty minutes to reach us here on earth so when we see it we're seeing Jupiter as thirty minutes ago and then there's Leiden University that is thirteen point eight billion light years away. This is the stuff made in the Big Bang guys so we can't see yet because we're not not that old yet. Maybe by the time high school be seeing light from a random star that I can't see today because it'll finally beginning to my eyes this but also maybe not 'cause well as the space time continue balloon just inflates inflates further. It'll just take even even longer for that light to reach your eyes.

Creepy New Trailer For 'Slender Man' Movie Has Been Released
"We randomly talk about multiple weeks in a row, like always makes, yeah. Like what Willie walk had the long stretch that's currently the. That's the Cal Ripken of of running news stories, which we talked about Willie Wonka for a very long time. So that is Star Wars, and Charlie's angels. We were done with Star Wars for now, put a lid on it also by the way we're, we've been view in this episode what a great host. I am here not even setting that up. We have an interview with the Patrick Renna AK ham porter from the San LA, Kendrick, Jack, and I talked him for about fifteen twenty minutes. We don't have that in the middle of this podcast. So she'll be a fun one. Ken Jak admitted to him that he doesn't like the big green or like the big ring wasn't on his top ten list, and it was pretty funny exchange. And then let's move on next bit of news. Slender man, new slender man trailer. We kind of were anti slender man trailer when it first came out. This is a new one opinions changed. You wanna see more. You wanna see a less. I wanna see it even less. I think they're making this fucking movie after this horrific actual real life of that happened, not even half a decade ago. This is like. Exploiting it like another sound soft. You know, whatever. But I think it's stupid. I think just straight up stupid. It's dumb as hell. My opinion has not changed. You need a reference in this specific time code or talked about it before because I don't think we could summarize it any better. Fuck, fuck this movie. And I don't say that a lot. I do not say that a lot in this podcast, you know, I'm very careful with with saying bad about the brands in about the movies, but I just I do not like this movie. I do not like what they're doing with it. It's it's really fucked up. The stabbing was only like four years ago, like you're saying, it's it's necessary. It's not. It's not a famous event where you can whitewashed for the event of what for the profit of movie theater. It's silly like even Billy idea even like patriots day or they call it. The Boston marathon bombing movie, which was in sanely way too early to make a movie like that. There's actually been two of them because there is the stronger one, but that was don't hall on. Yeah, that was that was nice, but even even the patriots won like there was a. There's a positive story behind it. Right? Like the talked about the heroes of it in the moment of crisis.
