Waching daily Dec 2 2018

What's going on guys? RBG here doing somewhat of a follow-up on my previous video.

I mentioned that during an interview Castlevania Producer Adi Shankar talked about how he would bring Berserk back to classical 2D animation.

And you guys really seemed interested in that particular part of the video.

So I'm gonna delve a little deeper into that because there's certain things you wanted me to expand on.

But before we get into that I wanna remind you guys that this video is sponsored by Mallknow.

Since you guys have supported this channel I've linked up Mallknow to give you their brand new gaming mouse.

It features a high FPS Rate, 7 different switches such as the back and forward buttons.

An adjustable DPI, micro-switches backed with LED lights, and much more.

The shipping and handling averages around 5 dollars depending on your location.

The link will be in the description box below so make sure you jump on that while the offer last.

But getting back on track, in the last upload I covered the recent announcement that the producer of the Castlevania series has acquired the rights Devil May Cry.

And there was this huge buzz how it'd be an anime that would be a part of this Netflix multiverse.

But I don't Adi Shankar meant that literally as people thought.

I think he means that all of the shows he's created will have has signature style.

Like you'll know it's his work.

The guy already has a channel called "The Bootleg Universe" which are essentially darker takes on popular lore like Power Rangers.

It's kinda like the MCU.

They mainly borrow source material from the Earth 616 and Ultimate comics.

But they're set in their own alternate universe.

So it's safe to say that he just means that this new DMC Netflix series will be very similar in tone and aesthetics to Castlevania.

But anyways there was an interview done by Forbes where he mentions the way he would do Berserk.

Because he's acknowledged that the series hasn't had the best of luck when it comes to getting adapted into an anime.

There will always be something that's off with every adaptation.

Certain pivotal moments will be missing or they're slightly altered to speed up the pace.

And entire arcs are skipped or glossed over.

Like in the movies there's a ton of instances that were left out for whatever reason whether it be for time restraints or those moments were way too visual.

Some of the more noticeable instances being the character of Donovan.

A despicable mercenary who's played a major part of Guts's scarred psyche.

In the original 90's anime he was nowhere to be seen.

And in the Golden Age Arc he was only shown briefly in this vivid flashback when Guts was unconscious after his first fight with Griffith.

As you can see the scene is heavily censored with the screen being heavily blackened out.

I'm not saying that we need to see Guts get flat out violated but the moment needs to be more coherent so the viewer knows what happened.

Because the movie didn't really make it clear what happened to Guts.

And it should've been included the first time Guts and Caska got it on like in the manga.

Instead of after he got defeated by Griffith.

That's 1 of the similarities between Guts, Caska, and Griffith.

They've all gotten violated or raped in 1 of form or another.

Although you could argue that Griffith was willing to give his body up for a noble but it still left him scarred.

I could go on and on about things that should've been added into the films, like the Black Dog Knights etc.

But back to the interview.

I wanna highlight some of the non-Berserk related parts and segue into the main topic.

Because Adi says some things that I think the anime industry should look into.

Because I can't help but feel like anime is leaning more into CG than 2D animation.

And this is something you can't refute because look at the 2016 Berserk anime.

Nuff said.

But Adi says this.

"When it comes to the anime art style of the series, our references were Ninja Scroll, Vampire Hunter D and Captain Harlock."

"Growing up in Hong Kong I was obsessed with that style, look, tone, and vibe."

"Sam Deats our director shared that love and that's why we hit it off almost immediately."

"Different cultures perceive animation differently."

"Furthermore, anime isn't necessarily a genre as much as it's an aesthetic."

"In Japan, anime shows exist in a variety of genres for a variety of age groups."

"That said, with the rare exception of outliers like Fritz the Cat, in the west animation was primarily seen as programming for children."

"Castlevania was designed to subvert that western mindset as it's an action adventure animation show for adults that's not a comedy."

Now this is something that I've been trying to say for the longest time since anime has become a mainstream juggernaut.

It's very seldom where we see a show that draws the line that it it's made for adults.

There shouldn't be instances in anime where you see that something is made for a mature audience.

It should be the vibe and overall aesthetic.

Anime like Ninja Scroll were a prime example of that.

Because it just has that mature feel.

I remember watching the film as a kid and being shocked at what I was seeing.

Feeling like I was thrown into this dark anime purgatory where the hero is constantly going through constant shit.

It was pretty trippy.

Upon viewing Castlevania season 1 for the first time those feelings came back.

Just the right amount of blood and gore to add shock value.

Of coarse those things are pretty common with some anime but not all.

But anyways the Forbes interviewer asks Adi Shankar if he'd be interested in working on a Vampire Hunter D series.

And to that Adi answered that he doesn't because the animation was timeless.

And I'm assuming that he's talking about Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust because that's the 1 that particularly stands out animation wise.

Like it was done by the same guy who directed and screen wrote Ninja Scroll.

So that's mainly the style Adi shows favor towards.

He goes on to say

"There are other stories from the manga that could be adapted, but then you'd need to top a masterpiece."

"Berserk needs to come back."

"If someone reputable gets me the rights I'll bring it back in that 2D hand-drawn vibe and make is closer to the manga,"

"because the hyper-detailed beauty of Kentaro Miura's artwork in the manga is the true masterpiece."

So as you can see this was a pretty brief mention of Berserk in the midst of that interview.

Adi Shankar simply wants to do it justice.

1 of the major things you can take from it is that he's pretty much eluding to the trilogy films and the 2016 show not doing Miura's artwork justice.

Because they kinda went a little too far with the 3D.

While the Golden Age Arc films are nice to look at there are certain hand drawn composite shots that didn't quite mesh well with the 3D models that were occasionally used during fight scenes.

And you have the 2016 series that tried to continue that formula but simply didn't have the budget.

It's 1 of the most hated versions of Berserk that fans simply wanna ignore completely because it's design choice.

And because it skips some pretty important stories.

Like the Black Swordsman arc that has yet to fully be adapted.

And the lost children arc that was criminally skipped over.

But I will say that although the current series was a visual blemish, the music and occasional 2D moments were really good.

Not to mention that you're still able to be engaged because of how good Miura's writing is.

Judging by the early trailer I could see what the director was trying to do.

He was trying to blend in cell animation with 3D to sort of give off this animated painting.

And you can see how certain 2D shots of Gut seamlessly transition to his 3D model.

That's what the show would've looked like if they had the budget.

So all of that added detail and dynamic lighting was taken out in the final version.

As I mentioned in my last video this was all a big coincidence because Adi Shankar is talking about doing a Devil May Cry anime.

And the guy who worked on the previous DMC anime is the same guy who directed the 2016 Berserk series.

So there's an interesting parallel there.

Like I have no doubt that Shankar's DMC series will be superior to Shin Itagaki's version.

And if he gets the rights to Berserk it'll be 1 of if not the best.

He's got large shoes to fill with the 90's anime since that 1 it sill held in high regards.

But just judging by his work with Castlevania I think he'll go balls to the wall with a Berserk anime.

Now there's still no confirmation that he will in fact get the Berserk license.

Because he has to see if anyone is currently holding the right or if they have their own plans with the franchise.

I think NBCUniversal are the current holders of the televising adaptation rights. But I'm not too sure.

What I do know is that Netflix currently has the streaming rights to the film trilogy.

So if Adi Shankar really wanted to adapt the Berserk series he could get the big wigs at Netflix to work out a deal.

They could be like "hey we already have the movies and our platform can offer your franchise huge viewership if you give us the rights to do it justice."

That's essentially how it goes. And them getting the rights is totally within the realm of possibilities.

Because they've easily pulled off things that companies within the anime industry simply could not.

Like getting the original series including the movies of Evangelion.

This may seem like your typical distribution deal but it's way bigger than that.

That's why it was getting so many views when they announced it and it was trending all over twitter.

Because Evangelion is highly regarded as 1 of the best anime series to date.

But it's been at the mercy of Japanese companies who simply don't want to share the remasters with the rest of the world.

For the longest time the original DVD runs have been out of print and the one's that are available are ridiculously overpriced.

Supposedly the creators issued a license lock down on the anime because they wanted the 4 rebuild films to be released 1st.

And then they would follow that business model up by re-releasing the original tv series on bluray.

But that became very difficult and no company could get their hands on it if they wanted to.

Thankfully Netflix was able to rub elbows with Gainax and have convinced them to play ball.

So what's not to say that Adi Shankar and the big wigs at Netflix can't perform that magic again with Berserk?

But with that I'd like to end the video.

Just wanted to delve more into this topic because there were some articles flat out stating that we are in fact getting a new Berserk adaptation.

But Adi Shankar just mentioned it briefly in an interview on what he would do with it if he got the rights.

I think he has his hands quite full at the moment.

Because they're currently in the process of working on a 3rd season for the Castlevania anime.

And there's still that Devil May Cry anime adaptation.

So we'll just have to wait and see how those pan out first.

But enough talking from me.

I wanna know your thoughts.

Do you think Adi Shankar would do the Berserk series justice?

And do you think he even has a chance of getting the rights to it?

Lemme know down in the comments below.

As always I ask that you like or dislike the video.

It doesn't have to be a thumbs up, it can be a thumbs down.

Any feedback is good feedback and will only help me improve my channel.

But if you really enjoyed the video it would help me out tremendously if you shared it on social media outlets with all your friends and followers.

Sharing really makes a difference.

But this was your boy RBG signing out on another video.

I'll catch you guys later.

Peace out.

BUILDING WORK DESKS & SOFA FOR OUR VAN | VAN CONVERSION PART 30 (CUSTOM BUILD CAMPERVAN) - Duration: 8:44.

We laid off our rental apartment, bought a van

sold our belongings

and now we are self-converting a van into a rolling home!

VAN CONVERSION PART 30 - Building work desks & DIY sliding bench -

We have managed to insulate our van quite good, I think

Heat stays inside nicely,

only problem spots are the seals between the doors and walls

It's almost impossible to make those tight enough

So we have decided to add curtains in front of every doors

We chose the ones that reduce heat loss

There weren't many to choose from,

but luckily these fit just okay to our van

The backside of these curtains reduce heat loss

and the other side of curtains are just this kind of beige fabric

These are quite light-weighted

and colour matches okay to our van's look

We just attached this curtain rail on its place

and I'm right now putting these brackets on the backside of curtain

Soon we will see what it's looking like

I will now start to attach these

The length of curtains look suitable

The curtains block cold air totally

and I believe this will help us a lot with the heat loss

The curtains have been now attached

Curtains are in sliding rack here in front of our sliding door

and also in front of our back storage area

In front of our bed the curtains are attached with

velcro tape

and we will keep it on its place just when we are sleeping

I chose this kind of greyish, more lighter curtain

for our bulkhead storage

and I like it so much!

Our colour map for van's interior design

is consisting of grey shades, beige, brownish old wood shade and black

And the look will combine modern look with old wood touches

We have also finished up work desks for both of us

We had to have a proper working areas / offices for us both on the van

We wanted to go for the same look as

on our previous desks at our former home

My work desk is located right after our sliding door

I like to use a standing desk

so I wanted to have a one here on the van too

We wanted to our desks be folding ones, so that

we can keep then open and closed

I also needed a monitor arm for my monitor

We can also use it as our "television"

to watch some tv-series and movies

because we can turn the monitor towards our bed

We wanted to have a little chair also on the van

under my work desk

We can also climb to our bed easier by using that

We wanted it to be small

so that we have a free floor space as much as possible

My work desk works also as the back rest of our bench / sofa

We will use this bench / sofa also as our dinner table's chairs

We will have a sliding table for it later on

So because of the bench's /sofa's multi-purpose use

it slides and is convertible from 1-person sofa to 2-person sofa

We designed and built it by ourselves just to fit here perfectly

Simo's work desk is located towards our partition wall

between the cabin and the living area

At first we planned to use that escape hatch as Simo's work desk

But we would like to be able to keep it closed even when Simo is working

so we decided to built another same kind of desk as mine

which is folding one too

This is attached a bit lower because Simo likes to sit and work

We built a little rack above our sliding door

for hanging clothes or towels etc.

We have couple of carpets ready too

Another one is made of bomull

and it includes all of our colour shades on it

It will be on our kitchen floor

and we will keep this kind of dirt/mud carpet on our hall - for now

We built DIY ladders to the back of our van

It makes possible to climb out of our bed or climb to there

this way too

We attached those with hooks, so we can just lift them up

and took those away

We have thought and tried to find out a way to

open our back doors all the way from our bed

But we haven't yet find any smart solution

so let's see if we will find something

We just received couple of packages

and our light-weighted mirror f.ex.

We have just some finishing up left:

sliding items and some add-ons for our kitchen

December just started and

to celebrate that we want to keep a lottery for you

We will raffle one our sticker to one of you

down below on the comments

***Sorry, THIS RAFFLE/LOTTERY IS JUST FOR OUR FINNISH FOLLOWERS (who lives in Finland)***

On the next episode...

finishing up continues!

How To Get An Ear Infection | 4 EAR-Resistible Ways! - Duration: 3:42.

Hello boys and girls.

In this video, I'm gonna be telling you how to get an ear infection, because winter, well,

it just doesn't suck enough already.

Let's eff-up your ears too.

I mean it's not like you listen to anyone anyways.

So what do you need your ears for?

Queries of the Interweb.

What's going on?

Joel here and I amusingly answer questions that are searched for every single day on

the interweb.

Be sure to smash that subscribe button and hit the notification bell so that you don't

miss anything.

So let's talk about how to get an ear infection on purpose, like what normal people do.

There's nothing normal about you if you're watching this video.

The first thing you're gonna want to do is you are going to want to be around sick people.

If there's sick people in your school, sick people in your house, go near them, okay.

If you have a friend who has a cold, get him to cough in your ear.

It might be a little bit of a weird favor to ask but if they're really your friend,

they'll do it and they won't...they, they won't question it.

They'll just do it.

I did make a video on how to give yourself a cold.

There'll be links to that below.

It's probably a suggested video here too if I've uh, if I've gotten a hold of Youtube's

next-up algorithms, huh.

You know the videos that show up on the side that show related videos of what you should

watch next.

I, have a feeling that I figured that out now.

Having a cold as well, also makes you very susceptible to getting an ear infection.

So give yourself a cold, be around a cold.

Another way to get an ear infection is to not clean your ears after swimming okay.

If you go swimming in the ocean, or swimming in a pool... you know frick'n Charlie peed

in the pool.

Don't wash your ears afterwords.

Don't clean your ears.

Just let the water soak in there.

That ear is as good as infected.

You go swimming with Charlie and you might as well have a first responders team nearby.

God knows all the crap that's in the ocean.

You know how they tell you to clean behind your ears?

You're not gonna do that.

Don't clean behind your ears.

Leave your ears alone okay.

Let them be free spirits, all right.

Your ears are just freelance workers in a job market.

They're not really looking to climb the corporate ladder.

They just kind of want to do their own thing.

Essentially they're unemployed but because they technically work for themselves, they

still have a little bit of dignity.

Leave your ears alone.

Do not clean those things, your ear lobes.

Leave em' alone.

You have any smokers in the family?

Because another way to give yourself an ear infection is to be around second hand smoke.

Obviously second hand smoke is dangerous for you, it's bad for you but you know, here's

an idea.

If you uh, hold you breath and go you know, move your head around in some smoke and, and

move out of it, just so your ears get exposure, that's a good way to give yourself an ear

infection.

Or if you have a really creepy old aunt who smokes those long one hundred and one Dalmatian

cigarettes, you could get them to shove that in your ear or just blow... get someone with

a hookah to just like... like right into your ear.

Hookah smoke... hookah, hookah.

Another way to give yourself a ear infection on purpose is to touch your face a lot.

You know sir-laughs-a-lot?

I don't...

I don't know who that is.

But you're gonna become sir-touches-his-face-a-lot.

Something to do with the germs on your face and then they go into your nose and then you

just start getting sick and then you're ear gets infected and then your eustachian tubes

clog up.

And that's okay.

Nobody's gonna judge you.

Just touch your face some more okay.

Shove your finger in your ear.

Get your friend Charlie to give you a wet willy all right, a wet willy.

You guys have any other great suggestions for videos, go ahead and leave it in the comments.

I'll see you in the next video.

Peace!

Krankenhaus Tulipalo - Abandoned NATO headquarters - Duration: 14:29.

It is a NATO Headquarters here built in 1954 by and for the British RAF, who were active in Germany, though it is only on the hospital site in this case. </font>In 2013, the base closed since 2015 and offers space for refugees.</font></font>

We did not know at the shooting and we could hear dogs barking in the distance and hear people laugh. </font>Probably were the refugees who were just down. </font>The hospital has survived a severe fire only half and much was unfortunately not to be seen.</font></font>

We are in Germany today with some acquaintances, including Jeroen van UrbexTV.</font></font>

Who has a photography excursion organized by the Kent School.</font></font>

Unfortunately, we have, for the start of our tour, have to sign a document that we could publish anything online.</font></font>

The penalties for violating those rules amount to minimum 2,000 euros and there are several people actively looking for violators.</font></font>

I think it's better that we stick to the rules, maybe we can use that stuff later.</font></font>

Meanwhile, the Kent School sold and new owners come the middle of next year.</font></font>

I love everything and maybe there will be something later.</font></font>

Meanwhile we drove ten kilometers and arrived at NATO headquarters.</font></font>

It is not yet on the urbex folders and we came here following a few tips.</font></font>

It urbex looks.</font></font>

We hardly noticed as we are with so few people.</font></font>

That part is burned!</font></font>

The old NATO headquarters last used in 2002, trained here have Belgian soldiers.</font></font>

Everything is left here today because NATO is working with smaller groups.</font></font>

Deze speciale eenheden hebben meer impact, maar zijn veel kleiner in formaat.

Door deze reorganisatie moesten er bepaalde complexen gesloten worden, waaronder dit.

Ik vermoed dat ze deze helft in brand gestoken hebben.

De uitgang bij brand.

Wat een groot gebouw!

Wat een groot gebouw!

En alweer is alles zwaar vernield.

Toch heb ik het gevoel dat er nog een paar leuke dingen zijn.

Ergens in deze gangen vinden we plotseling deze tralies.

Zou dit een soort van gevangenis geweest zijn?

Ik vermoed dat hier buiten de slaapvertrekken geweest zijn.

Het geeft een Amerikaanse indruk, vind ik.

Daar is wel iets,

Maar wat?

Ook weer uitgaande van een veronderstelling, denken we dat dit het verwarmingslokaal was.

Ik zeg het erbij, het zijn enkel veronderstellingen, omdat ik nog niets weet van deze locatie.

Als ik me niet vergis hebben we hier 3 verwarmingsketels.

Mogelijks nog een vierde, neen, dit was voor iets anders.

3 verwarmingsketels die stoom produceerden, denk ik.

Die stoom werd dan via die leidingen verdeeld over het hele domein.

Daar loopt een Jeroen!

Ik denk dat er nog veel meer te zien is hier.

Het lijkt op een volledig verlaten dorp.

Deze is goed afgesloten, denk ik.

Toch niet, dat lijkt alleen zo.

Overal zijn er gangen.

En dit hele stuk heeft ook tralies rondom, bizar!

Hier zijn we toegekomen bij garages.

Grote garages waar ooit grote voertuigen in gestaan hebben.

Misschien was dit wel een brandweerkazerne want meestal hebben dit soort locaties een eigen brandweerpost.

Daar zien jullie nog enkele kleine garageboxen.

Dit domein loopt nog veel verder door, het lijkt echt een kleine stad.

We zijn ondertussen aan het einde van deze locatie gekomen, want de zon is aan het ondergaan.

Ik vond het hier niet echt de moeite waard, maar het blijft speciaal omdat dit ooit een NAVO hoofdkwartier is geweest.

Er zijn niet zoveel NAVO plaatsen die je kan bezoeken.

Wij zijn er alleszins geweest. En ik zou zeggen, we zien jullie in een volgende aflevering, tot de volgende!

Alex Eaton - Smallholder Farmers as Climate Change and Food Security Leaders | Bioneers - Duration: 23:21.

Hi. [AUDIENCE RESPONDS]

So in my several decades of working for Bioneers and in other consulting gigs,

I've had to review hundreds and hundreds of projects from all around the world,

seeking in a variety of different ways and at different scales

to address the great crises facing humanity.

And it's really inspiring to see so many hard-working,

heroic people coming up with creative solutions to all kinds of problems, but –

and I'm going to be brutally honest here –

it can also be very depressing.

And the reason it can be depressing is that the crises

facing us are so severe and unfolding so rapidly

that we need – even though small-scale projects and

medium-scale projects can be great and are worth supporting –

we desperately need initiatives that can scale up,

that can really have a major impact globally.

And that are also democratically and based on participation

that are not top-down technocratic fixes.

Sadly, very few such projects come to my attention.

But fortunately for the planet and my own mental sanity,

there are such projects,

and our next speaker is someone who has just such an endeavor.

I first became aware of Alex Eaton's work

when I was working as a review team member for the Buckminster Fuller Challenge,

which had a 10-year run that just ended last year in its initial—

in that particular iteration.

And I want to give a shout out to the great genius

who was the prime mover of the Buckminster Fuller Challenge,

Elizabeth Thompson, who may be out here in the audience somewhere.

But it was an honor working for her and with her.

But Alex Eaton is the co-founder and the CEO of something called

Sistema.bio,

and Sistema.bio is a project that began

in Mexico and Central America,

and then it spread virally, rapidly into Africa, into Asia.

And it's a patented bio-gas system that takes animal, human,

and agricultural waste and converts it into energy and into fertilizer.

And what's amazing about the project is that it's both visionary and extremely practical,

and it has major, major positive impacts,

cascading positive impact on rural livelihoods.

And of course we know that modern industrial agriculture

is one of the most destructive human activities,

so we desperate—

But what people don't know is that 80% of the world's food

is still grown by subsistence farmers around the world.

So there is absolutely nothing that is more important

in terms of ecological health, social stability, and just

reducing poverty

than really helping small subsistence farmers be more sustainable.

It's important on every level for climate mitigation,

for human health,

to prevent hundreds of millions of people from going into rural slums

around the world that are in extremely terrible living conditions.

And so Alex's project is really one that is a game-changer.

It really…

Yeah.

It thrills me when I run into such a project, because when I,

in the darkest hours and when I get depressed, and suddenly see, well, you know what?

Maybe there is a shot. Maybe there are things that can really scale up

and have an enormous impact on people's lives.

So I'll let him describe, of course, his project,

because it's his and he knows way more about it than I do.

But it's a great honor to be able to welcome a real game-changer,

Alex Eaton.

[APPLAUSE]

Wow. This room is huge.

Bioneers, hi.

Thank you for creating such a beautiful space for sharing ideas.

I'm Alex Eaton. This is Sistema.bio.

I want to explain to you a little bit about the work we do with small farmers. So,

for us, anybody here like small farmers?

Yeah.

[APPLAUSE] Alright.

Small farmers for us are farmers that are family based,

they're locally based, they're community based,

they're intimately working a small piece of land,

but together that patchwork of small farmers is actually managing

the majority of arable land on Earth.

We help small farmers transform all of their waste into clean,

renewable energy and organic fertilizer.

I started this work about 10 years ago as an exploration on how biogas digesters,

something that had been around for a really long time,

could work for small farmers and move out of a homemade realm of bricks and mortar

and actually move into something that could be scalable,

replicable, and could actually hit the hundreds of millions of small farms around the world.

So we were doing a very small demo project about 10 years ago

in Central Mexico,

and this young man named Enrique came up to me and he said,

"I don't want my mom to be sick anymore.

She cooks six, eight hours a day over an open fire,

and she has to go to the hospital all the time because her lungs are filled with smoke."

They're in fact really, sort of basically have this inflammation.

And this is what we had really thought about –

How do we convert waste to energy so people don't have to cook over wood fuel?

But then he said, "I also haven't seen my dad in five years.

He migrated to the United States to work when our farm wasn't making enough money,

and I really want to make enough money so that he can come home.

If I don't, I'm probably going to have to migrate too."

So that challenge was a really, really sort of important and huge,

basically a callout for us.

So we installed this system with Enrique.

We gave him a 10-month loan to pay that system off.

And basically within a month, his mom was able to remove wood fuel from their kitchen.

She not only was cooking for the family, but they also make this delicious yogurt that they sold locally.

The organic fertilizer was used in his fields that he basically had to abandon

because they couldn't afford synthetic fertilizer, chemical fertilizer inputs.

He increased his yield. That fodder went to the cows.

They were able to increase their milk production.

They reactivated the small orchard that they had of small indigenous fruits in Central Mexico,

which they added to the yogurt.

And they started selling more yogurt, producing more food.

The next season, he paid off the loan a couple months early.

The next season they planted twice as much crops as the year before,

and Enrique's father was there to help them harvest, back at the family farm.

[APPLAUSE]

What I learned in that time is that the object,

the technology, the actual sort of literal intervention

that we had had very little to do with this broader spectrum

of how small farmers are integrated, both in our larger economic and social structure.

And so over the years, that really helped influence us and the people we work with.

And I could tell you a man running— in Kenya,

running a new milk cooperative to empower small farmers,

a woman-run dairy in India,

which is actually a really phenomenal advancement using this technology,

making their resources go a lot farther.

And so now, today, I can say that we've done that 30,000 times around the world.

[APPLAUSE] Yeah.

And there's a lot of amazing stories.

They're quite different. They're quite unique,

because small farmers inherently are so different, unique.

They have all these different stories.

But they all sort of fall around a couple of central themes.

We have enough data points to say that this technology,

this approach, could lift two billion people out of poverty.

[APPLAUSE]

And the externalities of that would be reducing greenhouse gases,

it would be essentially converting waste to energy,

and it would be building a deep, beautiful soil for these farmers to continue to work in.

So 2.5 billion people live on small farms. That's one in three people.

That was a surprising fact for me, because I actually grew up on a small farm

and it was a little weird to be the stinky kid

that had to work harder than his friends.

There weren't a lot of small farmers in our community,

but the small farmers that we did work with

were some of the closest friends to our family,

because we shared this ethic around environmental sustainability,

how we were connected to the Earth.

And essentially, when I later became a journalist

and was traveling around the world thinking about this

cross section of social justice and environmental sustainability,

I realized that small farmers were at the heart of a lot of these stories,

and that was really exciting for me because these were my people,

these are the people that I had grown up with.

I shared a lot more with a Kenyan farmer or a Mexican farmer

than I did with a lot of the people that I had grown up with, just because of that shared ethic.

But the next thing I learned was that small-holder farmers

were growing 80% of the food that is consumed on Earth,

yet if you listen to sort of industrial agriculture

and the propaganda around the food system,

you'd make it sound like small farmers really just need to get out of the way

because you have to go big or go home.

So that was an amazing realization.

This is a really important group of people.

However, they're the group of people most likely to go to bed hungry.

And that irony was something that really started to bother me early on.

A billion of the world's poorest people are farmers.

But the reality is that we define poverty in a

whole different way than I think we should.

Small farmers are managing more than half of the world's arable lands,

and it crucially, in an economy that

really recognizes the value of information,

they're holding so much cultural knowledge,

they're holding so much deep indigenous heritage.

And in Mexico— [APPLAUSE]

Yeah.

And in Mexico, I mean, they've been farming for 4-5,000 years.

So it's really humbling to try to come in

and try to introduce new techniques to these farmers.

But the reality is is that we're not talking about uninterrupted indigenous knowledge.

If we were, I think we'd be in a very, very different situation.

But the reality is neo-liberal economics, colonialism,

in some cases genocide,

these things have interrupted that ancestral knowledge.

There's been a lot of money spent to sort of undermine

the value of that knowledge.

But these are the farmers that are working very, very closely with the land.

They have a very, very special bond to their local environment,

and that is worth a lot.

And they're not poor.

I believe they're not poor, but they have a lot of challenges, right?

So waste management, either if you're big or small,

really concentrated agricultural waste

is what is really creating dead zones in the ocean,

choking out our lakes and rivers.

Most small farmers are still cooking over an open fire.

So that's what we've done for millennia, three stone fires.

And they're spending a lot of money and time to collect that wood,

and that's impacting their health, like it did for Enrique's mom.

And finally, today, with all of our creativity,

the only answer that the international community has

for small farmers around the world to improve their yield

is add chemical fertilizer and pesticides.

It's crazy.

Today, still, the green revolution is the only answer that's being proposed for small farmers.

And so these challenges for us are extremely important,

and what we realized is that farmers don't have

technology, training, capacity building,

or financing – really, these very basic things that industrial farmers have access to.

Small farmers don't have access to those things.

So our work is fundamentally a very simple but beautiful alchemy.

We're transforming something they already have,

but something that's considered gross,

disgusting waste, the universal shit,

and we're transforming it into something beautiful, in this case a beautiful blue flame.

This is renewable energy.

And what we're doing is essentially making farmers

more productive by creating value from waste.

And this is important because a lot of our work is to

really sort of challenge the concept of waste.

In natural ecosystems, there is no waste. Right?

There's products for other—for other systems, for other processes.

And so we really need to start thinking like that as a society,

but also, particularly, as farms.

So what we try to do with a very simple model

is basically use a simple piece of technology

that allows farmers to do that on their farm.

So we create these extensions of a cow's stomach,

essentially these micro-ecosystems

that allow bacteria – actually the original form of life on Earth,

that a single-celled bacteria that existed before there

was free oxygen that had been created by plants,

these bacteria broke down organic waste.

And the byproduct of that is methane gas,

natural gas, that we capture in the top of

this big, essentially bladder.

And that gets captured, and then we can pipe that

for cooking fuels, running small engines,

chilling, pumping water, doing all the things that small farmers don't have access to.

And then what's basically happening is these organic chains are being broken down.

The nutrients that are in that waste

are being put in a plant-available form

and then can be easily recycled back into the soil to help create deeper soils.

APPLAUSE] Thank you.

What that looks like is this:

A woman that would normally be sitting in a smoky kitchen

now has an on-demand beautiful flame,

and a woman that would normally not have access

to electricity is able to run a small dairy.

People that would normally be spending an enormous

amount of time cutting up fodder, milking animals, carrying water,

now have access to mechanical energy for all of these simple things,

and that's a massive time saver.

And also, we've got this plant available form

that instead of having to move tons and tons of waste,

we can pump this beautiful liquid fertilizer back into the ground,

and for larger extensions, we can actually run tractors

with this compressed natural gas.

We can add a lot of capacity to the farmers so that we can actually,

viably put a ton of land under organic management.

We pair that with a huge amount of outreach.

So we're all around the world.

We have 150 dedicated promoters

that in 15 different languages today are promoting the technology.

They're local leaders.

They're empowering people to understand the technology.

It's not actually super logical that shit turns into money,

so we really have to sort of explain that to people in a way that they can understand,

and with people that trust us.

And then what we learned early on is just make sure it works,

provide world-class service to ensure that these farmers

get the promise of the technology,

and it works for them every single time.

We're able to do that because we used a little bit of technology.

All of our farmers are recorded with GPS on a cloud-based database

that allows us to see exactly where they are in the world,

allows us to create connectivity between farmers,

and ensure that they get the system and the adoption programming that they need.

Now we realized that we can't try to change the world

by putting ourselves into the same financial framework

that farmers have been exposed to this whole entire time.

When we started in Mexico, the average interest rate for a loan for a small farmer

was over 100% annual.

Can you imagine what that does to the small margins that they have on their work?

So what we did is just decided,

working with Kiva and others,

we built a crowd-based funding platform

that allowed us to extend 0% interest loans to farmers.

We made sure that they didn't have to pay—

[APPLAUSE] Yeah.

I wish I had access to 0 interest loans too,

but this, in this case, is really to make sure

that they don't have to pay when they're buying seeds,

they don't have to pay when they're buying school uniforms.

We really tried to dive into farmers' lives

and extend the payment program so that they could actually

be paying only with the savings that they had.

We actually tried to make sure that they're

cashflow positive right from the very, very beginning.

And then when they pay off the equipment,

that means that all of those savings can be reinvested back in the farm.

[APPLAUSE] So...

technology, service, financing,

and we've been able to expand all around the world,

which is really super exciting for us.

We've basically tripled in size over the last two years.

We started in Mexico, now we're serving all of Latin America,

through Central America, and in the Andean region.

We have a hub in East Africa that's allowing us to work in Tanzania,

and Uganda, and Kenya,

and we've just opened an office in India that has been really humbling and amazing.

These are all cultures that have been farming for millennia,

and to really be able to add something to that conversation,

to really help empower those people has been an incredible honor.

So we've learned a couple things, and I'm going to go fast.

A couple of— A few things,

and if anyone doubts this next fact…

[CHEERS] Exactly.

The future of farming is female.

[APPLAUSE]

And that's a very, very important fact.

And we really tried to lean into that early on.

Most of our promoters are females.

A huge chunk of our technicians are females.

That connection, that empowerment of women

impacts way outside of just energy, climate change or agriculture.

It's really helping— It's really the single most important thing, I think, that we can do.

And so having that be a cross section of everything that we do,

thinking how women are leaders in this,

really ensures that these benefits come back to the communities.

The other thing is that farmers deserve high-quality

technology and world-class service.

There's a whole school of thought within development,

which is let's just let the markets take care of it,

and neo-liberal economics basically will let you know

that small farmers and the poorest people will be given really cheap stuff.

The Walmart model. Right?

Something that is inexpensive but breaks really easy.

And growing up on a farm, that's not what we valued.

We valued things that lasted a really long time,

things that you could repair yourselves,

and that's really what farmers and really the poor in general need access to.

It's not cheap goods.

And the most important thing,

and actually part of the title of this talk,

is that you really need to connect with people's hearts.

You need to connect with culture.

And you need to do that by being really open

to integrate your work and see how it fits

into other people's cosmo vision,

other people's worldviews, and into their culture.

And we've done that in a couple different ways,

and I just want to share very quickly.

Early on in our work, we were working with

Mayan communities in the Yucatan Peninsula,

and, yeah, that's really an amazing culture,

and an amazing group of people.

And they were calling the system el nuevo fuego –

the new flame.

And I was like, Wow, the new flame.

In Mayan culture, the flame is the grandfather of grandfathers, right?

The original essence, the original being.

So thinking about creating a new flame was a really powerful concept.

And in this community they actually had a legend

around a dragon that had come out of a cenote,

and in their legend, it ate babies.

And I didn't really love that part.

So we started rethinking some of the methodology.

And so we came up with this dragon that ate shit and breathed fire [LAUGHTER]

as an alternative. [APPLAUSE]

And we told this whole story about it.

And probably the pinnacle of my professional career

was when this was approved by the Mexican education secretary,

and we literally had 300 teachers and 1,000 students

dressed as shit-eating dragons running around saying,

"Caca es vida!" [APPLAUSE]

and singing songs, and—

Yeah, the trickster in me really loved—

the problem student in me really loved that moment.

And so that connection, I think, is what makes our work really, really powerful

in thinking about that.

So where the tribe of the new flame,

really thinking about how the similarities in farmers

around the world are actually much more significant than their differences,

and I think that that cross section,

that community that we're building is really, really powerful.

And so at the end of all of our demonstration events,

we invite everybody to become the fire-breathing dragons

that we all are in some ways.

So what are we doing in the future?

What we're really trying to do is do what we're doing today

but 100 and millions of times larger.

We really want to figure out how this can reach many, many more farmers.

We're also seeing that our platform

can process invasive aquatic plants.

We can actually take human waste, we can take food waste from markets.

There's a number of other ways that this platform,

this technology can actually start impacting farmers and agriculture.

We see this as part of a circular economy.

How can farmers disconnect themselves from this

neo-liberal trap of having to buy their inputs,

being sort of stuck with these intermediaries

that are buying their products for lower prices,

being marginalized because most of the money they make has to leave their economy. No?

How can they sell organic fertilizer to their neighbors?

How can they be processing the agricultural products locally?

And what we really have our eyes on is a million farmers

as soon as we possibly can.

And the beautiful thing about this is imagine

six million people cooking on clean energy, having access to organic fertilizer.

Imagine saving hundreds of millions of trees and

reducing tens of millions of greenhouse gases,

and putting an area the size of California's

vegetable gardens under organic management.

It's something we're really, really working for as fast as we can.

[APPLAUSE]

And I'm going to steal an extra minute,

only because I think it's really powerful to see so many young people here today.

The saying we use really often is:

the best time to plant a tree was 10 years ago,

the second best time is today.

We're really impacted by this IPCC report,

but I think it's something we all knew.

We really have to work super, super hard,

and we have to plant those trees today.

And seeing all these young people here

is really inspiring because this is the group that

needs to take this torch forward.

I met these children when the middle child hadn't

even been born yet, and they were so young.

They will never know a time in which their mom goes

to the forest to harvest wood fuel.

They will never know a time in which they dump chemicals

on their land to grow food.

They will never know a time in which waste is something gross.

It's something beautiful that transforms into their energy and their resources.

This is the frame change we need to change the world.

And these are our future leaders.

So join me in supporting them.

And thank you very much.

[APPLAUSE]

Cleverly titled article 13 video - Duration: 7:10.

hello there is that the owner of youtube I presume

yeah that's me just running the site yes um I come over from the

headquarters of the EU to tell your site to just kind of ban memes and

all that nah nah don't take out memes come on he like our memes hey don't we

like our memes shrek ah well if you're not gonna give up your memes then

I guess you're not gonna get all this beautiful money then money fine fine

take our memes just oh good I knew you'd come around

yeah thanks for the money mate alright let's get to looking at that sub count later

move goddammit

that's better now time to look at some good old-fashioned MEMES

leech do you have any idea what's happening to the memes shh you need to keep quiet wait

what are you talking about leech what's wrong don't you see there's a pepe the frog over

there we have to hide it from article 13 leech I don't care about this whole

article 13 thing that's happening all right

I searched up for memes and nothing came up

what kind of apocalypse is happening the banning of memes is article 13 can

you please tell me any logical reason why they want to ban memes i don't know

britishmewtwo but I don't know no way we can stop it really we need to

form a meme army to destroy article 13 how are we gonna do it

with just one pepe well you could always just steal some memes of ifunny

I mean that's what you done with your temporary little Instagram page we shall

not talk of the British Mewtwo Instagram page get stealing some memes alright we

can build this army out of the greatest meme of all time unoriginal content

unoriginal content here we go SHH how many times do I have to remind you of the pepe

oh right yes sorry about that I'll just have to get stealing some memes

I'll just be stealing then later

all right now let's get stealing some MEMES

yes I finally created my perfect army of stolen memes now just to find the headquarters

of the EU leech what britishmewtwo I was just in the other room doing

very very busy important leech things yeah leech could you like teleport me to the EU

headquarters or something I kind of want to take down their

article 13 things with my army of stolen memes wait what you think I can like

teleport you there or something like I'm some kind of timelord oh well then I guess

I'll just go and get Torterra to teleport me then okay okay fine I will

teleport you there

wait a minute ain't this just my little brother's room

oh hello there don't worry I'm just the person who created the whole article 13

thing yes I'm sorry we're not giving your memes back and there's nothing you

can really do are you fully sure about that I've got a lot of dead memes on my phone oh

dead memes you have okay then i guess you can try BY THE POWER OF DANCING BABY

I CONDEMN YOU TO HE- oh no we can't have none of that delete eh yes yes be

gone now I don't want the smell of your teenage body odour getting into the

fabrics of my precious money can you please stop walking in on my intensive

leech training It's gone leech our memes are gone what do you mean our memes are gone

article 13 doesn't get properly put into place until like next year or something

wait what eh the whole thing at the start was just a power outage

you put me through all of this THROUGH A BLOODY POWER OUTAGE!!!?????
