[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sorry, okay. Because, uh, you are doing also kind of a media archaeology somehow or a history of this, this terminology history of the philosophy of technology and drawing of course, uh, this whole trajectory. And I was wondering whether you can see or make out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Something that characterizes, let's say, the contemporary condition that in a way calls for this new epistemology or these new terms that are no longer sufficiently described by all these references in a way by


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, this current condition, whether that that gives rise to something I was, I was thinking about, um, the references again with the recursivity and the plurality that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For example, in Felix Dalder's description of digit, digitality, the referential is always this kind of explosion of references and the references are always shared. And so there's a kind, it seems to me that's a kind of a new, it's a shift into, in the, in the discourse towards art.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know if you have any thought on this, what is the current, what is this current state that you can see there in culture, in the computational culture and culture.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, maybe it's a kind of a continuation from the previous thoughts on recursion and this kind of design character and the reference to something. And for me, it opened this question to


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, this current digital, uh, condition of the, of the, of the network, of the multiple, of this explosion of references that call for a different way of working with the referential. So I was thinking about this idea of, of Stelva about, um,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Empirical kind of mode of working maybe and, uh, also it introduces the sociality because the references are never valid in itself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] References because they're negotiated between different actors and different, uh, different, uh, reference systems that establish references as such.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We are still good in time, but we are, I think we're, it seems also we're coming somehow to a closure. Yep. So if this is the last, basically last call for additional comments and questions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Otherwise, uhm, we would like to thank you again for being with us and, uh, there's, uh, comments.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To mention also, of course, quantum physics is another area also with, uh, that touches upon, upon decidability and so on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so we have a lot of, we have a lot of questions. I'm looking really forward to reading your new book and we are happy that you made it this year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is the first seminar in preparation for our archaeological fieldwork in Namibia.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We are fantastically lucky to have received partial research funding for this trip from our institute.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, I shall expect 200% attention and participation from you all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] First in this seminar, I'm going to give a brief introduction to contemporary research on rock art.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And in the second part, I'm going to give you some do's and don'ts for our fieldwork trip in April. So please, listen very carefully.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm first going to focus on the interpretation of rock art in Namibia.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We are very fortunate to be going to an area where you can find some of the most important sites in the entire world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I hope to show you how easy it is for everyone to make mistakes in looking at cultures which are different from our own. The first and most important lesson we have to learn.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In Namibia, there are both paintings and engravings. That's where the surface of the rock is cut out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Many of the engravings show footprints of animals and most scholars used to think that the purpose of these was simple and obvious. This rock art was like a school book with pictures to teach children about tracks. Which track belonged to which animal? Giraffe, lion and so on. But there were some mysteries.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] First, when you look at a typical Namibian painting or engraving,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You see the tracks are repeated. There are dozens of tracks for the same animal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You'd expect just one clear illustration if the reason, uhm, the aim was to teach tracking. Now, there were two more problems.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why are some of the engravings of animals very accurate, as you'd expect, all clearly identifiable, and others quite unrealistic?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And another mystery. Some of these unrealistic animals, that's in the engravings, seem to be half human. Some, for example, have got human faces.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Many researchers now think that these were pictures the wise men engraved of themselves.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They believed they could use magic to control the animals they had drawn, so the hunters could then catch them for food.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This shows you some of the dangers of coming from one culture to another, as we'll be doing, without understanding it fully.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Scholars imagined that children looked at rock art pictures to learn to track, just because they themselves had learnt skills from pictures.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Many researchers now believe that rock art had a much more complex purpose. And we'll talk more about it next week.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, before I invite you to join in a discussion in this second part of the seminar,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'd like to make some very important points about our fieldwork. And in fact, any field trip to look at rock art.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're going to a number of sites, and we won't always be together.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The single largest problem faced by people who manage the sites is


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, I'm sure you've guessed. Damage caused by visitors. Even though it's usually unintentional. Whenever you do go to a site,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't forget, you can learn many things from observing at a distance, instead of walking all over it. This can really help to reduce visitor pressure. People often say,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, there's only two of us, and just this one time. But maybe thousands of people are saying the same thing. And then, some basic rules to guide you. We'll have our own camp near a village.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But remember never to camp on a site if you go on your own. It may be disrespectful to the people of that culture.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And certainly don't make fires, however romantic it may seem. It's really dangerous in dry areas.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you can easily burn priceless undiscovered material by doing so. So, how are we going to enjoy the rock art on our field trip? By looking at it, drawing it, and photographing it. Never by touching it or even tracing it. Rock art is fragile and precious.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Remember that climbing on rocks and in caves can destroy in a moment what has lasted for centuries. So no heroics in Namibia, please. Try to be extra careful and help others to be too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, and lastly, please don't even move rocks or branches to take photographs. You should leave the site intact. I'm sure I can rely on you to do that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, that's about all I want to say before today's first discussion. But if you have any questions, please ask them now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, and uhm, don't forget you'll find some fascinating information about worldwide sites on the internet. Right. First question then.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm very pleased to have been invited along to your club to talk about our charity sponsored walking holiday for education aid.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is where people promise to donate money to the charity if you achieve your goal. In this case, to walk a certain number of miles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Basically we are organising a 10-day holiday from the 6th to the 16th of November, with 8 days actual walking, trekking in the Samira Mountains. Let's have a look at some of the details.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We require you to raise sponsorship money of at least $3,200.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Paying $250 of it upfront as a deposit, and the rest in stages throughout the year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Out of this, about 35% will go on your expenses, and that leaves 65% guaranteed to go to the charity. Which brings me to the most important part.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This Trek is being specifically organised to help education in the Samira region. Last year we helped train teachers for the disabled and this year we're focusing on the pupils.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Each of the walkers' sponsorship money will go to help an individual special needs pupil in one of the mountain schools.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the second part of the talk, I'll be giving you a lot more details. But back to the basic information. Age limits.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is the second time we've run this kind of holiday, and uhm, on the first we even had an 80 year old.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But we found it was wise to establish limits this time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have to be at least 18, and the top limit is now 70.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Though you need to obtain a health certificate from your doctor if you are over 60 years old.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, the Samira Mountains are among the highest in the world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Although there will be spectacular views even in the foothills.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, you will need to be extremely fit if you aren't now and you're interested in coming with us. You have plenty of time to get into shape. You'll be sleeping in tents, so you must have quite a bit of equipment with you. But you will be helped by local assistants. Your bedding and so forth will be carried by them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We ask that you only walk with a small rucksack with needs for the day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think I've really said enough about the marvelous area you'll be walking in. Let's have a look at some of the sights you'll be seeing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Apart from these spectacular snow covered peaks and valleys, there are marvellous historic villages,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The area's been famous for centuries for making beautiful carpets.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Although recently there has been a trend to move into weaving blankets and wood carving. The people are extremely friendly and welcoming.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We deliberately keep the parties small in size to minimise disruption to people and landscape.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I will be distributing leaflets at the end where you can find out more information. But just for the moment I'll outline the itinerary, the main high points of the holiday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Obviously you'll start by flying out to Kishbah, the capital city, on day one. After a couple of days to acclimatise yourself,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You'll start the trek on day three, walking through the enormous Katiba forest, which will take the whole of the day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Day four takes us higher up, going through the foothills, past a number of villages, and visiting a school for the disabled in Sohan. Then you have a rest day, that's day five, before going to the spectacular Kumi temple, with 12th century carvings, set in a small forest by a lake, and that's day six, the highlight for many.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We stay near there for day seven, because then comes the hardest day, walking through very mountainous country, but culminating in a swim in the Pate Falls. This is the highest waterfall in the region.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Day 9 is much easier, with part of the day spent in a village where they make some of the gorgeous red blankets. Then back down to Kishbah, and the journey home. So, you can see it's a pretty packed timetable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So let's see what they can change for this game here. Ezreal was the first pick for Uzi. They could ban that away. They have Karma, Vladimir and Kai'Sa as the current bans on their side. The other option is, give Ezreal once again, but this time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One of them is lack of mobility. On the other side, there's an Orn again, and a Skarner, so it's gonna be


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and another small thing about the Janna ban is if you're gonna draft another split pusher for Khan, you end up having a lot of bruisers and Janna can again disengage when the fight starts and they dash into her. If you remove her here, it might be easier for you to reach Uzi in the backline, but there should be other supports available for Ming to grab.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You could also see Lulu if they want to go all in on sticking to ranged supports on their side. Otherwise, you can't just go Braum. Like, no one is gonna kill you for that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, let's see if he goes for the same thing. It looks like, again, it's gonna be Irelia, Sejuani, plus another melee bruiser up in the top lane for Khan. Sion here was the answer from Xiaohu against Irelia, but he got solo killed on it. And Malzahar's open. Malzahar is there if he wants to grab it. I think it is a fine choice for him, except Tahm Kench ult can be very annoying as a Malzahar.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's the problem when you use the flashes level one, but this was too easy for Khan, so there was no early vision being placed for Khan, and then he just gets ganked.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is a very slow gank. Karthus is still sitting in the first top lane brush.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mid lane champion, so you get to see RNG just play fairly passive until Karsa decides to go to a lane. Bot lane is still going to be an option for them with double rain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, there's still not a happy option to go to all three lanes because Cho'Gath is one of the better tanks in 1v1s and they have the Irelia for BDD, but there is still enough engage from RNG to stop that. So I think Kingston just said, okay, if they're going to draft so much a gate, we need to have a comp that can actually fight them. And that's why they're going for the Cho'Gath top lane gank here. Let's see.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Meanwhile, Peanut is on his way B. Did he's moving as well? Remember there's a Galio ult from RNG's side, but everyone is looking at each other in the bottom lane.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, they got pushed mid lane so B2D can move down. They have the TP back for PraY so they can actually start hitting the turret. It's a big moment for KingZone to get even more pressure. And can they get that first turret? They're really stopping Ooze from getting ahead compared to the last one. Can you notice on his way down Karthus here? Well, flash ult is available.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They'll keep doing it until they actually get punished by RNG. Eventually Kingdom will just get the turret, unless a big fight breaks out first, which is why Karsa is still around. Let me see if he's on cooldown from that last mid lane fight. Karsa will be ready before that. Both teams are looking towards spot lane turret.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, exactly, they see that, but there is TP and Tahm Kench ulti available in case Kingston wants to rush down and fight. Passage dropping very low.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, I think RNG here will end up giving another structure and we actually see a small fight here. Alright.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cloud Drake did, uh, drop here, but he didn't manage to pick it up. We're setting up for another fight in this game. Pray no flash. So when that horn, horn comes in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This all started in the jungle, with that huge 5v5 engage, where all of RNG are stuck on the other side of a wall, and BDD dances around.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Firemen had been fighting the forest fire for nearly three weeks before they could get it under control.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Great trees had covered the countryside for miles around. Now


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the hills threatened the surrounding villages with destruction.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The forest authorities ordered several tons


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] of a special type of grass seed which would grow quickly. The seed was sprayed over the ground in huge quantities by aeroplanes. The planes had been planting seed for nearly a month when it began to rain. By then, however, in many places the grass had already taken root.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In place of the great trees which had been growing there for centuries,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Patches of green had begun to appear in the blackened soil.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I love the story, right? This tournament was thrown as the tournament where all the top 80 carries from all the regions are coming together to compete for the first time here, and it's only fitting that Uzi and Prey are the last two standing, the two very best.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Definitely cool to see them clash. Both of them have been so successful for so long as well. They've been playing and had success in their regional tournaments. They've even gotten to finals in international tournaments, but this is going to be the final to decide who will be the first to actually take a championship.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And if you look at what RNG are putting together here, Skarner and Ornn work very well as far as early game engages. The ultimate slow basically guarantees that Skarner will be able to pick and choose a priority target for the ultimate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yep, that is exactly why they keep saving the counter picks for Khan, very diverse champion pool. And he looks to take advantage of that top side. Trying to spread out the map so that they don't have to deal with the big engagement here from RNG.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, from a fanatic there in the group stages. Now, yes, she was nerfed and the nerf was due to the mobility. The Arctic Assault was taken down a couple seconds, so a lot of players really felt that she exposes herself a lot more. Now, Peanut has been one of the guys that still played her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Always important to keep track of your opponents to try and keep track of those cooldowns. So we'll see if they're able to count on all five fingers for this one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Ornn over here, let me, just helping out Karsta a little bit with the blue, gonna give him some more damage, as was Khan on Fiora there for peanuts, so both junglers are gonna route down towards the bottom half.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's also important to highlight the exact position that she will go when she blade surges to a target. You will go through the target no matter what, uh, direction it is facing, and that's where you're gonna have to adjust your skill shots to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's definitely what we're gonna keep our eyes on in this game as well. Currently, as well, the bottom lane here, which has been very important in pushing early on to try and get tower damage. Uzi and Bing with the double range matchup have control right in front of the King's Zone turret.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, Uzi all year long has had huge CS differences, being able to get those last hits, and again, a lot of focus on his lane for multiple members.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah. Meanwhile, since Karsa is on the bottom side, uh, and even though he is level 6, Peanut and Kingzone have a lot of vision on the top side of the map, uh, supporting Khan in this Fiora matchup. You know, the blue Quadrant is warded and the blue has just spawned as well. Maybe we'll see some confrontation up there. Jahuto rotates down bottom first.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that's why Karthus is willing to use his Predator down on the bottom side threatening with his level 6 there on the start. Oh look at this!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, you can see, actually Ornn has stopped on your minimap. It looks like they were scouting positions for possible teleports to use. Now he's continuing his route back up the top side, but this teetering turret, this


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and Xiaohu's ultimate arriving actually procs the riposte there and they get the stun onto Ornn, finishing him off. Poor members though for Kingzone, pretty happy about that one, taking down the top turret. That being said, RNG are still the ones with the gold lead.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The strengths and weaknesses are going to be in how the map is laid out. What is the battlefield? Who gets to choose the battlefield? Is it going to be the hard engage from the 5v5 team? Or are Kingzone going to be able to slowly chip away at your turrets and up their gold lead to the 10,000 mark where you can't even


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If, you know, Kings don't split up into their one through line, we have the Fiora on top side, the Irelia on bottom side.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, one thing I definitely like doing as well, when you're facing a Janna, is killing the Janna first. She is a very squishy target whereas Ezreal, a lot of outs. Here we go though, another look at BDD, using the minions here to gain some distance. He's got four members chasing him though, as Deficio said, it's a team game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so we check back in on who's favored at the moment. I think that the...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yeaah, dream scenario for RNG. They didn't have to deal with any of the side pressure. They are able to find the stragglers in the river, easy ultimate there for Karsa, and they take him down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's why people always caution against the lack of fallback patterns for a composition like this. It's very hard when you're down to remount a pressure game, to start pushing out the side lanes because it's so much easier for RNG to catch you and stop any one of those lanes of pushing before you even get started.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't always remember, it's just so funny, but like, you know, just things like that, that people switch around, but uhm, for whatever reason, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My friend is in homestay, and she really enjoys it, so I'd like to join a family as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My friend is in homestay, and she really enjoys it, so I'd like to join a family as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] About four months. Longer if I like it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I've enrolled for 20 weeks in the, uh, uhm, Advanced English Studies because I need help with my writing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I'm nearly at the end of my first five-week course.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I prefer, I mean, I like young children, but I'd like to be with older people. You know, adults, someone around my age.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I am a veterinarian, so that's fine. The more the better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I am not a vegetarian, but I don't eat a lot of meat. I really like seafood.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, I joined the handball team, but I didn't like that, so I stopped playing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now I play tennis on the weekend with my friends.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not really because I have been living on campus. I've been to the city a few times on the bus, but they are always late.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I like catching the train. They are much faster.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Last Christmas, the circus owner, Jimmy Gates,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dressed up as Father Christmas and accompanied by a guard of honour of six pretty girls, he set off down the main street of the city riding a baby elephant called Jumbo.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He should have known that the police would never allow this sort of thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fifteen policemen had to push very hard to get him off the main street.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The police had a difficult time, but they were most amused. Jumbo must weigh a few tons, said a policeman afterwards.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can see a lot of the city names scrolling by below.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After another flight, Joey and his team arrive in China again. Their artist handler is waiting for them at the airport to pick them up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I have to uhm, for my presentation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We situate these two elements, uh, that Marx talk about. One is, uh, fixed capital. Second, free time, uh, in our new condition. And then we try to go further, see what we can do with that, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Automation or automated technology in order to reduce what he calls necessary labour time. That is to say the time needed to produce a product. By reducing the necessary


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Necessary labour time, he actually, we capitalists can increase what he called, uh, surplus labour.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is that Marx speculates on dialectics. That is to say, is it possible to sublate surplus value, surplus labour to what is called free time?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The capital, the fixed capital that Marx describes today is no longer machines in factories, but rather this is a fixed capital.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This smartphone is a fixed capital and it belongs to me and I work with that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Factory, that was where these machines in, uh, has already escalated to the whole society, uh, with smart devices, sensors, neural networks, and we know a lot of, uh, the question of, of the, the projects of smartification, with smart objects, smart homes, smart cities, uh, which has already happened in Korea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now we have to make clear that, for example, for Marx, free time is not play and labour.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, here, because Marx was criticizing Schaffer here by saying that labor cannot become play.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And as the, the, the, the speaker, earlier speaker has pointed out that the question, how the question of play, uh, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So because the, the earlier speaker has made this point really clear, so I will skip this, this part. Uhm, and, but just to say that we have seen in the past decades how, uh, they, how the play and labor has blurred, you know, and this is symptomatic because it is also, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, and there I would like to introduce a critic, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now here is the, the, the, the critique is the following. If in the, these three propositions, we can see actually machines, what Marx called fixed capitals, are only economic categories.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now we have to explain this sentence, but can I know how much time do I have?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What is this, uhm, more profound relation that you were referring to?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But only, only at the same time because working with these machines, he, the worker subsumed himself to the predefined procedures and the rhythm of the machine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of the question of technical knowledge and what does it mean by technical knowledge here? It means that the workers have to know


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And what does it mean by working, that we have to think about working with machine instead of thinking machine will threaten us or will become, uh, uh, will kill us. But this is something we should talk during the discussion. This I will skip.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, no, because we know that robot does exist, and these are the robots. This is a Samsung robot. This is, uh, uh, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One of the, one of the face of the technological development.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I think this is a very important question for us. What does it really mean by technological knowledge today?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, what is this symptomatic verdict of Trump, you know, it's a very, it's true because in fact there are many things that we don't know how they are functioning now, like many algorithms, they are black blocks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, no, so with the question of technological knowledge today, it is surely not, I mean we have to reflect on this question because of this is, this doesn't mean simply that we have to, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I believe that in order to, uh, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Concerning the last point, that technological knowledge is not about repairing machines, I would like to emphasize also what I called the difference between the appropriation and repurposing. And I think this distinction had to be made clearly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So repurposing we say that we, uh, use, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Every country is competing towards technological singularity.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Progress or development in human history. And I think that, uh, the question of technological knowledge, the question of person.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do I need a microphone? No, no, no, no, it's fine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that is the question of design, I think for me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It should be a knowledge that we see the combination from humanities and engineering.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The only, the alternative models can only be raised if we can question, we can question


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The ontological and epistemological presuppositions of the industrial models


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The making of tour, industrialization, and today we have a different form of technical activity.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that is a way to integrate technology in our society. But here is the problem is that, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That Simon don't, of course, didn't anticipate the situation we have today, for example, the social network, so on and so forth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, creatively, it makes what you said very blur, very vague, and that we have to really to historicize at this point.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Know that in every technological, in every epoch of technological development, there are always sources of alienation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can say a few things about that. First of all, I don't know, I'm not sure if we can design the future and whose future are we going to design? The future of humanity? What is humanity? When cash is in the, in the, in, in, in,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, on the concept of the political, he says, whoever wants to invoke humanity lies. Shit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For example, many people says we are going to, uh, we are speeding towards, uh, technological singularity. But regarding to what you says about, uhm, the question of design,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not a designer, I'm a philosopher. I can only talk to you about principle of design or the problem that we may, we should identify in order to address this question of design.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Until the 1960s and 70s when the philosopher Hubert Geifers proposed


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Data become a really a juvenile force for this new round of AI based on data.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because the fourth industrial revolution is not so much about technical objects, but about the environment. So we are actually entered into, uh, uh, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With the, with smart object, uh, so, uh, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that is to say the interdependence between a human and machine. Now we have to look at our situation today.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In, politically, because it is the, the way through the environmental, environmentalization that, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This symbiosis become a problem for us because it is a way of control, it's a way through the modi- the modulation of the


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] ...digitized environments that the relation between human and technology, human and machine has to be questioned.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I say, when I say this, it's because, uh, we can refer to what is the pathological, pathological, for example, for Kongilain and for Goldstein at the time, that was a main reference for people in, also in human-machine interaction.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I think that this, this become a major issue when we think of the, uh, uh, that today we can through the modi, the moderation of the digitized environment to control and to


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But a new, uh, design principle which is as po- which is political in a way to allow us to break from this kind of, uh, uh, environmentalization and control.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Your primary job as an early CEO is to build a team of world class people who share your values and have a skill base that's complimentary and better and stronger than your own.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that work does not start when you're raising money. I think you gotta start thinking about this way in advance. And so...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The job of attracting and retaining great people doesn't begin on day one. It begins probably a hundred days before.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You've even raised your first money or even started raising money.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that as soon as you raise the money, you're ready to hire these people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And this has to do with personal networking and doing everything you can. And if I was an investor, uh, looking at your business plan, uh, or the sales pitch you made to me, the first question I'd ask, or one of the first questions I ask is, tell me about the team. And if your answer is, we don't have one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I'd be low suspect versus, well, we have four or five people who are ready to start as soon as we raise the money. Uh, and here, and here's, here's their background.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, uh, the job of building a company, uh, has to start very early on with identifying and attracting those people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, it, it can't start when the, when the clock starts running. You're hiring for two things. You're hiring for domain expertise and a skill-based and experience beyond your own. And you're hiring for values. Values that are like-minded with yours.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you gotta start sequentially, depending on the business, deciding in order of critical importance, who's the most important person we need to hire. And you gotta go get them. And obviously, in order to get those people,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the same way that you've had to enthusiastically convince the investor, you're going to have to convince skilled, experienced people to leave their company and join an entrepreneurial startup or effort.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so you gotta have the same level of conviction and courage with them than you've had with the investors. And you need an equity pool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That person's probably making more money than you're able to afford. And so the question is how are you going to balance that out with equity?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If someone is coming into an entrepreneurial endeavor, joining you, and they, uh, are not interested that much, or at all, in equity, and they really want cash compensation, uhm, that'd be a red flag for me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because you want somebody who's hungry, uh, for the long-term opportunity and is looking...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At the situation like you are in the future and the future is the long term.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you're going to have to balance out a couple of things. You're not going to be able to pay in cash what that person has been making, probably. And the question is how do you balance that out with equity?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then you have to have the right, uh, stock option structure way in advance with the board.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And to give you the runway to hire enough people so that the option pool is there to provide the options necessary to attract the people. And this again gets into the age old subject of dilution.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, the board's gonna be concerned about diluting, about dilution, especially the VCs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You might be concerned about dilution as it relates to your own dilution.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But if this is a team sport, and it is, uh, then that doesn't only apply to when it's convenient for you. Or the board. If it's a team sport and it is, we've got to build a team. And the pie has to be shared.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so compensation has to, I think more often than not, be in the form of more equity than cash, or certainly equity to offset the lack of cash.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, it's not a one-time deal. It's gonna have to be rewarded every year based on performance of the company and performance of the individual.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I love giving equity to people. I never viewed it as dilutive because everyone has a stake in the outcome and we're all facing in the same direction for the big opportunity at the end.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that is the appreciation of the enterprise based on our performance. And you're gonna have to overpay for great people. Uh, you know, if you find a LeBron James, uh, you gotta pay him more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No doubt about it. And I want someone like that on my team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everyone has a different interviewing style, uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] More often than not, I will say to the candidate,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, if you have any anxiety whatsoever about this conversation, I want you to try and take a deep breath and remove it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's try and have a intimate conversation. I'm not here to judge you. I'm just here to talk to you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Reduced attention or any anxiety. That's one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then I said, I have a couple things I want to ask you. It has nothing to do with the job. Because I want to find out about the person.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the first question I might ask is, what's the last book you read?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that'll give me, uh, first off, if the guy has, uh, if the person, man or woman has, can't answer that question, like in two minutes, he's not reading anything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, the person I'm very curious, okay, that tells me something. And then, if he, then he's gonna tell me what book he's read. And that's gonna tell me something else. And then I might ask him a follow-up question about the book.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You've asked, you tried to reduce the tension, you've asked two questions about the person's personal habits of reading and his or her family. And so after that I think then you can get into, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The qualifications for the job, the job description, what you've done before, the values of the company. But I think what you're trying to do in that setting is, is have a conversation where the person doesn't feel subordinate to you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And uhm, you're like having a conversation over a cup of coffee. So you really get to know the candidate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I think the obligation and responsibility is on you, uh, not to in any way impart, uh, your role as the boss or the leader, uh, because you're trying to ultimately attract that person to the company. This is your first opportunity to demonstrate that you're a servant leader.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The other thing is, you are going to make hiring mistakes. I certainly have. And uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The question is, how long is it going to take you to realize you made that mistake? Uh, because most often you, you don't want to admit you made that hiring mistake because you've made it. And you try and change that person. The person doesn't change.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, 6 months, 9 months go down maybe even a year and finally you realize you didn't fail fast and that person has had a significantly negative impact on the company. You gotta let that person go and then you gotta start over again. You've lost 2 years. I don't want this to sound


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Arrogant or in a sense controversial, but this is how I feel. If you're establishing an extraordinary company and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's so much love and passion and humanity in what you're trying to do, then in a real sense, it's a gift, a privilege to come work here. Now,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have an obligation and responsibility to make sure that gift and that privilege.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, is in fact a two-way street that you are embracing people in a way that is giving them the tools and the resources and the support they need. But if somebody comes into the company that is not a cultural fit,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You go to that person and you say, listen, I, I, I just don't think it's going to work out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is who we are and this is, this appears to be who you are. I don't think it's a fit. In the early stages of a company, one or two people who


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are not consistent with your values can have a significant negative impact. And uh, I'd be very mindful of that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We've all made hiring mistakes. And that's why I think it's very good, uh, within the company to have the s- a senior candidate be interviewed by multiple people who have different organizational responsibilities. So if you're hiring a CMO, uh, have the supply chain guy or the IT person.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or a board member interviewed that person. So different life experiences have a chance to focus on that person to provide a composite that is complimentary to your own. And you don't have to agree with them, but it helps.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The culture of a company is like an organism. And, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And every time you add somebody into that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Especially if that person is a big hire, uh, who has significant experience and a skill base that we don't have, uh, you want that person to have impact.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But you don't want that person to in any way have a negative impact on the culture of the company.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So there's two things. One is you need to prepare the organization.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For new hires. There should be no surprise that we're going to hire a new chief marketing officer into a company because you have told the senior leadership team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And others that we need a new CMO or we need a, we need a CMO and we're going out to recruit one. So people are prepared.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the, the issue and responsibility that you have is to properly create the right immersion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And immersion for me means before that person is given any responsibility to make a decision.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Any P&L responsibility, any strategic responsibility, there should be enough time for that person to be immersed into the business.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Question in everyone's mind, Trevor, is that Sun about to set on King's Zone as well? LCK's dominance is on the line. And now they've got to come back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Definitely true. And they immediately slapping back on the ban list here. One more left. Will it be the Ezreal? Will they switch more up? And that is going to ring true the crowd also.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You want Gorilla to be your point man. Gorilla with the engage. Rakan and Azaya for the extra long range.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] BDD has to be the difference maker in this game. Xiaohu absolutely took control of game number three and he's gonna need to strike back. Things like you're talking about that can roam around from the mid lane would be what you want to see from that role.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. Do you want to get the Braum? Maybe have a little bit stronger of a level one? Or maybe have the unbreakable for later on in the game as well? Or do you want to try and get that Kaisa scaling quicker with one of those strong matchups?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yep, Khan wants to be left alone, wants to abuse the tank matchup.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But RNG want to play as a team here. Another suppression for themselves. And again, the Janna reset. Gonna try and help Uzi in the bottom lane.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He can also have some more control early, especially with this Olaf. So maybe they do try and look for some early jungle invades.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Honestly, this tournament has been full of surprises and I'm happy that they still had some in store for the finals as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that makes it very difficult for tanks to finish off a kill onto Illaoi. Sometimes they get a little baited into thinking they can actually have the last bit of damage.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Very, very true. We'll have to see if the interrupts do come through though, cause again, much like the rest of this series, there is room for outplay here. And what did I teach you before about the Orn Horned Officio?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, there you go. Uzi able to get just outside the range of the knockup here. That's going to allow being in him to retain control. Now, we have also seen Karsa really heavily focus on, you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uzi walking the edge right there. Doesn't step too close to the bush, backs off and avoids.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And why did that happen, Trevor? It happened because Peanut, who is usually playing around top triangle of the map, went bottom to Prey and Gorilla to try and make that play with the control ward on Uzi, because Uzi's such a big thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yep, resetting right now. Gonna walk his way back out. Both teleports for top lane are in sync. BDD in the mid lane has swapped his over, but it's still on cooldown, making use of the summoner, uh, spellbook to lower it a little bit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yep, they got a lot of damage done and they got the Janna ultimate out in addition to that flash that you mentioned. So, some cooldowns to keep track of, but RNG still holding fairly strong.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's back again and he's timing it almost with Gorilla's Ignite. A few seconds left on that Summoner's Spell so they might be able to spark something here around the Infernal Drake.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] RNG seems so calm in this one. Calling every play. Xiaohu actually gonna have to burn his stopwatch there. That is definitely a big resource.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Exactly, for a team based on pressure, you need the other sides to be holding up their end of the bargain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yep, a lot used from RNG there to try and close the trap, get that punishment, but... Almost got to me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Targets, uh, you know, possible, uh, places for him to try and dodge these abilities. Get away from the Illaoi, towards the priority targets, and uh, you know, finish up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, you can tell. Xiaohu full confidence there. He continues the chase even after the flash, after Letme turns back and hesitates from his Ornn ultimate, knowing the Shurelya's speed would get them in range.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Perfect team fight. All the initiation blown on the Allawi opens up the pathway for Gorilla, able to charm them all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Keep your eyes on Gorilla. That man has the ball and he's looking to finish with a dunk.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] More fun for Uzi. Uzi's setting up for a big play as well, gentlemen. He's got a stopwatch purchased. That is buying so playmaking power for himself. If he jumps in and has to immune some Allali tentacles, get to the backline, kill a priority target before using it. The possibilities are there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I would say this is more Gorillaz Engage. Kondo plays the frontline, he soaks up the Malzahar ult and all the focus, but there, boom, Gorillaz in. Next, the multi-person knockup, multiple charms right there, even grabs Uzi at the end, and the damage from BDD as well as Prey just wipes him off the map.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I mean, he's, he's been a man that has spread himself fairly thin over this tournament. As we mentioned, most unique champions played of any player here. He has often looked for the counter pick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But you still have to respect the arrival. Betty, Killer Instinct into the backline, destroys Grey before he even turns around.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was crazy, and it all led up to a massive team fight in the jungle, where suddenly we get big plays from B2D on Irelia, and Prey was left untouched on a virus. RNG, they lose the fight, they lose to Baron, and Kingzone, when they get Barons, they win every game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, they might drop the Camille then and say, hey, when you played split pushing game one on the side of Kingston, we could punish that with our hard engage compositions. We can give that over again, but no, they're just baiting us by swabbing it around.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So Syracan suddenly has to be a thing we need to talk about. Obviously the Ezreal, if it's open again, has been the first pick for Uzi, but when Rakan is left open, teams tend to first pick Hib, but then Morgana.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It worked extremely well last game. It might work even better now that Ornn is gone because he's old. It's just what's so hard to deal with as a low mobility champion like Vyrus. If it's a Cho'Gath instead, that buys a lot of time for the Vyrus to just sit there and spam auto attacks and proc the Blight stacks with the AP build. This is the Vladimir we talked about. It is again a flex option for them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would love a top laner that can engage. I think Skarner is not necessarily the best main engage because he runs at you and then needs flash to actually surprise you. He's great follow up engage and the same thing for Vladimir with flanking. I wanna see if that is a possibility. Sion would of course have been a good choice but that was stolen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I like the recombine here because that would have been an engage support that could have worked really well in the RNG composition because again they have follow up engage right now, they need the main one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, if RNG just want a hard win bot lane, then Janna is an okay choice. The problem is Varus ult is amazing at level 6 against squishy ranged supports because then you send down your jungler, you land the ulti onto the squishy ranged support and they basically just die instantly. So the Varus pick could actually cause a lot of issues for RNG and their normal game plan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And also RNG is saying, okay, we know you have the virus to kill tanks, you have the Trundle ulti. We don't want to give you a Choker feast as well because then there's no way we can win the normal teamfights against you. So that's why they also ban it. Let's see if it is going to be Vladimir going top. They still don't know where Sion is going. And so about doing the tournament, mid lane Vladimir has been much, much stronger.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That isn't done yet. The classic counter pick to Shen. A GP. When Shen TP's away, GP ulti follow and then he just outscales you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well that's kind of the thing here, if you look at how RNG wants to start fights, it's most likely Xiaohu running in with the Shenwalk onto him and then Skarnar coming and flying in to try and grab a target.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So they're not looking to split the map towards topside.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And obviously it's because Khan on the GP is not necessarily looking to just perma-shove to a turret 24-7. There's very much...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it's sad, Peanut got level 3 because normally it is a level 2 gank. The Clearlove will pull off and try and kill Uzi and then the EDG bot lane can win. But fine, he got level 3 this time around, still counts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And nothing B2D can do on the way out with the Zombie. In the end. First quad for RNG. Not in the lane we expected it. Because normally with this Vladimir you're not getting early kills. And Sion typically never dies in lane.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They ganked the global and they ganked for the global as well on the side of RNG and it was very, very effective here. Shen is doing well, let me have to blind pick it and realize there's a high chance GP would show up but GP's for late game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just great performance from Xiaohu's side, but as you can see in the minimap, Letme did not back away in time. He stayed top lane, hoping no one would attack him. Well this happened as a response, and therefore it is another kill for Kingzo.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This game is going completely crazy. Right there. With the fight in mid. Then around Drake. Then in the bot lane. Look at this, uh, push here from Kingston. They secured him the first turret in the bot lane. Very important that Khan keeps farming because he has a late game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I thought Uzi had to flash out, but no, he just got another arcane shift and he actually stood his ground and took the fight. And then, the rest of RNG show up and actually go to kills.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This was probably the best chance for RNG to shut down Kingzone and claim the title. They showed game one they were a stronger team. Game three here they're definitely showing that they have the upper hand over Kingzone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Welcome, Radicals, to the ninth episode of On the Road to Redemption.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, no, it's too late.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I'll play my violin. And I will play my truck.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it's so boring. Dr Brown Bear did say you could have visitors.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not very well, Susie. I have to stay in bed. What can we do to make you better? You could get me some orange juice. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not a real nurse. It's just pretend.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think I should stay in bed a little bit more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I'm teaching them to be proper tigers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Can I have a kangaroo? A lion please. A monkey please. A parrot please.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, Peppa, you'll love it. There's a great view from the top of Windy Castle. You can even see Granny and Grandpa's house.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Basman have decided to go on strike next week. The strike is due to begin on Tuesday. No one knows how long it will last.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The busmen have stated that the strike will continue until general agreement is reached about pay and working conditions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Many owners of private cars are going to offer free rides to people on their way to work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This will relieve pressure on the trains to some extent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A number of university students have volunteered to drive buses while the strike lasts. All the students are expert drivers, but before they drive any of the buses, they will have to pass a special test.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The students are going to take the test in two days time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even so, people are going to find it difficult to get to work. But so far,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The public has expressed its gratitude to the students in letters to the press.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Only one or two people have objected that the students will drive too fast.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What is going on, Neon Nation? Welcome back to my channel. I hope you guys are having a good Sunday. Actually, what do you guys usually do on a Sunday?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, is it a family day, or do you work on Sundays? Or is it a Netflix and chill type of day? Well for me, every Sunday is video day, so here I am.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you guys watching this are coming to Singapore, do check out Fat Boys. I would highly recommend it. Just look at it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can taste the, you know, the salted egg sauce and a bit of the soft shell crab eggs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now that burgers are so juicy, you don't even need to add any sauce.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This one I think it would be better if it's like, you know, stretchy, but I think it has to be really, you know, warm for me to do that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The beef chilli fries or cheese and bacon fries. That sounds good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think that burger is meant to be enjoyed slowly. You know, if it's a food challenge, I mean, I wouldn't be able to really enjoy the burger.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So if you watch it at two times the speed, this will be over in 15 minutes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Personally, I would like to keep my videos under 30 minutes, preferably.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the beginning when I first started out, I would always, uhm, fast-forward my videos.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, and every time I fast forward it, I will get a lot of... campaigns.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, for my viewers saying, please don't fast-forward it, we wanna eat it with you slowly, so. I don't do the fast-forwarding thing anymore. And, I can get it, you know. Because, you know, like, Yuka, Yuka Kinoshita. The Japanese eater.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Excuse me. Yeah, her videos are great, but uhm, the only frustration I have is that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They are really short, like she likes to fast forward her videos. So it'd be like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Five minutes and it's done, you know, it's like, I want more of you, you know, I want to spend more time with you. But it's just only five minutes, you know, the whole video. So I can get the frustration. I haven't watched Yuka for a while now. I'm not sure if she's still that fast forwarding. Do you guys watch Yuka?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, so I'm left with some mozzarella cheese steaks and fries, which I'll save for tomorrow. I'm gonna pop them in the air fryer, make it nice and crispy again. Yeah, today's meal is absolutely delicious. Especially the Fat Bastard Burger.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, uhm, oh yeaah, in my next video, I may eat that, uh, what's that, that fire black bean noodles. Yeaah, the new Samyang fire black bean noodles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I may eat that or it'll be something new from Popeyes. They just came out with some...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, for the fire noodles, I've kind of been, you know, putting it off because every time I eat those fire noodles the next day, my butt will take a hit, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll get fired but the next day, so. Oh well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yellow. Written by Rachel Rice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A few weeks ago, I had a conversation with one of my students in Brazil. She was telling me that she had been studying English for many years. She had attended institutes, she had purchased books, and she knew lots of vocabulary words, but for some reason she wasn't able to speak English like a native English speaker.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Basically, she wasn't able to speak English in real life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, maybe you have experienced the same thing. You've been studying English books. You've learned lots of English grammar and you even know lots of vocabulary words, but for some reason you're still not able to speak English in real life situations.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, today's lesson is just for you because I'm going to teach you five simple steps to actually speak English in real life. I'm teacher Tiffany. Let's jump right in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Today's steps are the five W's. Now, for those of you who have been studying with me for a long time, you've heard about the five W's. Literally who, what, when, where, and why.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These are the five simple steps. Now I'm going to show you actually how to use these in real life situations. So let's say for example, we have this situation right here, a real life situation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There are two women and it looks like there's some sort of transaction. Well, using the five W's, we would do this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who is this woman with long hair?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then what is she doing with the credit card? Next where are they?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When is this happening and why is she buying something? Now we're going to figure out how to use these steps to actually speak about this real life situation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I want you to follow along closely, because the fact of the matter is,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People like myself, native English speakers, literally think like this when we are speaking in English. You see, when I was in high school, that's right, many years ago, when I was in high school, we were taught to think like this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know guys, honestly, when I was a teacher in South Korea,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I realized that this is the key for native English speakers because I had students who were super intelligent. I mean, I had students that were doctors, lawyers, even some of my high school students and university students who weren't necessarily professionals yet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But they were extremely smart, but they still couldn't speak English well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I realized that it wasn't because of their ability to memorize or study because they were smart.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was the fact that no one had taught them these five simple steps. No one had taught them the keys to connect the information they had learned so that they could speak like a native English speaker.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that's why I came up with these five simple steps to teach to you. And my students, once they followed these five simple steps, they excelled and were able to speak English in real life situations. So let's go back to the picture and see how it actually worked. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I taught them this tip. So let's again, look closer. So we have the who, the first step.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who is this woman with long hair? So again, we're guessing because we're looking at the image. I said maybe she's a college professor or a stylish stay at home mom.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or even an entrepreneur. Now, again, guys, I'm just giving my guesses. I don't know this woman, but I'm looking at this image and I'm creating an idea or I am creating up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A situation, uh, who is this woman? What is it about her that makes me want to look at the picture? So again, this is the stage where you want to think about who the woman is. Okay. Now the word entrepreneur, you may not know what that word is, so let me explain it to you guys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The word entrepreneur means a person who runs and operates their own business. In other words, runs, organizes, and manages.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The best example is me. I am actually an entrepreneur. Remember I told you guys in a previous video.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Several months ago that I actually used to work for NASA. I was a web developer for NASA and I loved my job.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I left my job and I actually went to South Korea and I became an English teacher. Now fast forward 10 years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I am actually working for myself, running and managing my own English business. Why? Because I want to teach you. So again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Your teacher is an entrepreneur. Maybe some of you are entrepreneurs. You can put it in the comments section and I'd love to know what your business is. Okay. All right. So let's go back to my screen and let's continue. So again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This woman could be a college professor, a stylish stay at home mom, or an entrepreneur. Now we have to go to the second step. Okay. The second step is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So maybe she's making a payment or testing to see if it works or swiping it quickly. Again, all you're doing is coming up with your own idea of what could possibly be happening in this situation. This is going to lead us to speaking about the situation. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now the word swipe, maybe you don't know what that word is. So the word swipe actually means.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To pass through an electronic device designed to read and process the information encoded on it. So again, as you look at the picture, the lady has a card in her hand and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She's swiping it through the electronic device. I had to swallow real quick. Alright, so she's swiping it through the device.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Think about when you go to the store, when you go to buy something, right? If you don't have cash on you, you can use your card and swipe it and the money is electronically


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When? So when is this happening? Again, I'm giving my own thoughts. I'm guessing maybe it's the middle of the day. Why? Because it looks like it's bright and it looks like everyone's kind of relaxed. Or maybe it's a Sunday afternoon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or maybe it's during her lunch break. Again, guys, once again, when you're practicing these five simple steps, maybe you're at home alone, if you're looking at a picture, I want you to do the same thing that I'm doing right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This practice is teaching you how to think in English so that when you're in a real life situation, you'll


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Naturally use these five steps. Okay. All right. So lunch break. Now I want to explain this to you guys really quickly. Okay. So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The term lunch break just means the time when a person stops working or studying to have lunch or run.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's say I need to get some groceries. I need to take my clothes to the dry cleaners. These are things that I have to do outside of the house, my to-do list or my errands. Okay. All right. So we need to move on to the next step. Here we go. All right. Our next step is where?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where are they right now? We can see there are two women in the picture, but again, where could they be? Maybe they are at a natural or a local natural tea cafe or


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's say for example, uhm, there's a business convention.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] About computers or technology. You can say you're going to a business convention or a computer convention or a technology convention.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A large group of people that come together for seminars and to actually look at new products. We call that a convention in English. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now guys, as we're studying, you're learning a lot and I'm so happy to teach you. Remember, you can learn even more with me by joining my academy, the link's on the screen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some of you are already members, but I want to help you more. So remember if you want to learn more vocabulary or also how to think more in English and just continue studying with me, remember to click the link in the description. Okay. All right. Now we're going to move on to our next and final step. Okay. So here we go. I'm going to take you back to my screen. The final one is why.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why is she buying something? So maybe she loves unique herbal teas or maybe the store won't be open tomorrow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or maybe the saleswoman, the woman on the left was very persuasive. Now this word persuasive, I want to practice the pronunciation with you really quickly. Okay. I had another student, uh, this past week and we were talking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I also taught him the pronunciation and I realized that it may be a little difficult for you all as students. So here we go. Per. Sway. Siv. One more time, a little slow. Here we go. Per. Sway. Siv. Excellent job. Now one more time quickly. Here we go. Persuasive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Great job. Now let's look at the meaning of this word persuasive because it's a common English word that we use here in America. Okay. So the word persuasive is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Good at convincing someone to do or believe something through reasoning. Now remember I said the saleswoman was persuasive. So again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For me, as I looked at this picture, I thought to myself,
