You there. Second desk. Blue jacket. What is your name? My name is Alexis. Alexis! Please leave my lecture room. I don't want to see you at one of my lectures ever again. I don't understand. I am not going to ask a second time. Thank you. Why are there laws? What are laws for? Anyone? Social order? To protect the person's personal rights. So that you can rely on the government? Justice? Thank you. Tell me, was I unfair to your classmate just now? Indeed I was. So, why didn't any of you protest? Why didn't any of you try and stop me? Why didn't you want to prevent this injustice? You see, what you have just learnt you wouldn't have understood in a thousand hours of lectures unless you lived it. You didn't say anything because you weren't affected yourself. And this attitude speaks against you. And against life. You think it doesn't concern you, so it's none of your business? Well, I'm here to say. If you don't help bring about justice, then one day you too may experience injustice. And there will be nobody there to stand before you. Truth and justice lives through us all and we must fight for it. Because in life and work, we often live next to each other, but not with each other. We console ourselves that the problems of others are nothing to do with us, none of our business. And we go home glad at night that we're spared, but it's about standing up for each other. Every day an injustice happens in business, sports or on the tram. Relying on someone else to take care of it is not good enough. It is our duty to be there for others, to speak up for others when they cannot. I am here to teach you the power of your voice. I want you to learn critical thinking to empower you to stand up for what is right. Even if it means going against what everyone else is doing. Let's begin.

We like war. We like war. We're a war like people. We like war because we're good at it. And you know why we're good at it? Because we get a lot of practice. This country's only 200 years old and already we've had 10 major wars. We average a major war in this country every 20 years, so we're good at it. Got no steel industry left, can't get healthcare to our old people, can't educate our young people, but we can bomb the shit out of your country, alright? We can bomb the shit out of your country, alright? Everybody complains about politicians. Everybody says they suck. Well, where do people think these politicians come from? They don't fall out of the sky. They come from American parents and American families, American homes, American schools, and they're elected by American citizens. This is the best we can do, folks. This is what we have to offer. It's what our system produces. Garbage in, garbage out. If you have selfish, ignorant citizens, you're going to get selfish, ignorant leaders. So maybe, maybe, maybe it's not the politicians who suck. Maybe something else sucks around here, like the public. Yeah, the public sucks. There's a nice campaign slogan for somebody. The public sucks. Fuck hope. Fuck hope. It's never going to get any better. Don't look for it. Be happy with what you got. Because the owners of this country don't want that. I'm talking about the real owners now. The real owners, the big wealthy business interests that control things and make all the important decisions. Forget the politicians. The politicians are put there to give you the idea that you have freedom of choice. You don't. You have no choice. You have owners. They own you. They own everything. They own all the important land. They own and control the corporations. They've long since bought and paid for the Senate, the Congress, the state houses, the city halls. They've got the judges in their back pockets. And they own all the big media companies, so they control just about all of the news and information you get to hear. They got you by the balls. They spend billions of dollars every year lobbying, lobbying to get what they want. Well, we know what they want. They want more for themselves and less for everybody else. But I'll tell you what they don't want. They don't want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking. They don't want well-informed, well-educated people capable of critical thinking. They're not interested in that. That doesn't help them. That's against their interest. That's right. You know what they want? They want obedient workers. Obedient workers. People who are just smart enough to run the machines and do the paperwork and just dumb enough to passively accept all these increasingly shittier jobs with the lower pay, the longer hours, the reduced benefits, the end of overtime, and the vanishing pension that disappears the minute you go to collect it. And now they're coming for your Social Security money. They want your fucking retirement money. They want it back so they can give it to their criminal friends on Wall Street. And you know something? They'll get it. They'll get it all from you sooner or later because they own this fucking place. It's a big club. And you ain't in it. You and I are not in the big club. By the way, it's the same big club they used to beat you over the head with all day long when they tell you what to believe all day long, beating you over the head in their media, telling you what to believe, what to think, and what to buy. The table is tilted, folks. The game is rigged. And nobody seems to notice. Nobody seems to care. Good, honest, hardworking people, white collar, blue collar, doesn't matter what color shirt you have on. Good, honest, hardworking people continue. These are people of modest means. Continue to elect these rich cocksuckers who don't give a fuck about them. They don't give a fuck about you. They don't give a fuck about you. They don't care about you at all. At all. At all.

Mr. Chu, does TikTok access the home Wi-Fi network? Only if the user turns on the Wi-Fi. I﹑m sorry, I may not understand the﹑ So if I have TikTok app on my phone and my phone is on my home Wi-Fi network, does TikTok access that network? It will have to access the network to get connections to the Internet, if that﹑s the question. Is it possible then that it could access other devices on that home Wi-Fi network? Congressman, we do not do anything that is beyond any industry norms. It has spiked and spied on American citizens. I don﹑t think that spying is the right way to describe it. The only face data that you will get that we collect is when you use the filters to have sunglasses on your face. We need to know where your eyes are. Why do you need to know what the eyes are if you﹑re not seeing if they﹑re dilated? American data stored on American soil by an American company overseen by American personnel. We call this initiative Project Texas. Please rename your project. Texas is not the appropriate name. We stand for freedom and transparency, and we don﹑t want your project. You damn well know that you cannot protect the data and security of this committee or the 150 million users of your app, because it is an extension of the CCP. From the data it collects to the content it controls, TikTok is a grave threat of foreign influence in American life. It hurts me to hear questions this dumb and self-serving. Watching these congressional leaders, people we elected to represent us, are you kidding? At least people can see how stupid the people who run our country are. At least people can see forever positions, these no-term limits, what a problem it is to have these people get elected over and over again, never having heard their thoughts before, never having seen how stupid. And misaligned they are, how out of touch with the American people they are, and all they care about is their own power. If you listen to these members of Congress speak, you would think that they were rulers, emperors. Congress is full of queens and kings and mob bosses. These are the people that run our country, the people who are in charge of our future. They are so incredibly stupid, like so dumb. I, I, a guy literally asked if TikTok connects to the WiFi. How did we get here? You'd think they'd accidentally land on a point. And I give credit to the CEO, honestly, he weathered the storm. He was the only one who knew what the fuck they were talking about. These old, out of touch motherfuckers, they were bond paid for by Mark Zuckerberg. And it's just so obvious that they've never once used the app. I'm embarrassed for our country, I really am. We must be the fucking laughingstock of the world right now.

So, we didn't have enough money to make, you know, international phone calls every week. And so, my parents gave us this tape deck. This Aiwa tape deck. And a tape. And so, every month we would sit in front of that tape deck and my older brother Jeff and I, the two of us would just tell them what we did the whole month. Wow. And we would send that tape by mail. And my parents would take that tape and record back on top of it and send it back to us. Wow. Could you imagine if for two years, wow, if that tape still existed, of these two kids just describing their first experience with United States. I remember telling my parents that that I joined the swim team. My roommate was really buff and so, every day we spent a lot of time in the gym. And so, every night 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups every day in the gym. So, I was nine years old. I was getting, I was pretty buff. And so, I joined the soccer team. I joined the swim team because if you join the team, they take you to meets and then afterwards you get to go to a nice restaurant. And that nice restaurant was McDonald's. Wow. And and I recorded this thing. I said, "Mom and Dad, we went to the most amazing restaurant today." This whole place is lit up. It's like the future. And the food comes in a box. And the food is incredible. The hamburger is incredible. It was McDonald's. But anyhow, it it wouldn't be amazing. Oh my God. Two years? Yeah, two years. Yeah. My parents are incredible actually. They're just they grew up really poor. And when they came to United States, they had almost no money. They came and we were we were staying in a in a in a apartment complex. They had just rent back in the I guess people still do rent rent a bunch of furniture. And we were messing around. We bumped into the coffee table and crushed it. It was made out of particle wood. We crushed it. And I just still remember the look on my mom's face, you know, because they didn't have any money and she didn't know how she was going to pay it back. And but anyhow, that's that kind of tells you how hard it was for them to come here. But they they left everything behind and all they had was their suitcase and the money that had in your in their pocket. They came to United States to pursue the American dream. How old were they? They were in their 40s. Wow. Yeah, late late 30s. Pursue the American dream. This this is the American dream. People who are successful leave the impression often that that our job gives us great joy. I think largely it does. That our jobs, we're passionate about our work. And that passion relates to it's just so much fun. I think largely it is. But it it distracts from in fact, a lot of success comes from really, really hard work. Yes. There's long periods of suffering and loneliness and uncertainty and fear and embarrassment and humiliation. All of the feelings that we most not love. That creating something from the ground up. And and Elon will tell you something similar. Very difficult to invent something new. Yeah. And people people don't believe you all the time. You're humiliated often. Disbelieved most of the time. And so, so people forget that part of success and and I I don't think it's health I think it's it's good that we pass that forward and let people know that that it's just part of the journey. Yes.

Adam Rogas – CEO and Co-Founder of NS8 by IdeaMensch · Nov 30, 2016 287Share Tweet 66Share Adam-e1480959343307 Find a problem you think you can solve and really focus on it. Resist the urge to move from that problem until you have demonstrated by positive user feedback and growth that you have actually solved it. Adam Rogas is the CEO and Co-Founder of NS8. With over 14 years of senior development and management expertise, as well as extensive knowledge in the fields of online fraud and spam filtering, Adam brings a tremendous amount to NS8. He was a founder of LoadMail and has worked as a trusted advisor to Postini, London Board of Tourism, Vivendi Universal, and Napster. In each case, Adam has helped implement big data, email, spam and virus filtering, and data security solutions. Mr. Rogas has architected extremely large-scale spam and virus filtering platforms, dealing with well over 100,000 messages per hour. He has also played a central role in the architecture of numerous large scale analysts solutions. Adam brings his love for safe, effective communication and startup ventures to NS8. He is married and also calls Las Vegas, Nevada home. Where did the idea for NS8 come from? My partners and I have run some significant and highly transactional websites and services prior to NS8. We understood that the common threads of fraud, abuse and poor user experience affected each of them in some way, shape, or form. Knowing this, we felt there had to be a better way to protect these types of sites and services, from being abused, regardless of their size. We also knew that any solution we created had to be easy to deploy, manage, and understand. What does your typical day look like and how do you make it productive? In an early stage company you are wearing lots of hats. I work a ton of hours. So, the key for me, is to keep my thoughts organized. I usually divide my day up into 3 or 4 segments and then identify what I think I can accomplish in each one of them. Once I do this, I make a list for each segment. This gives me a semblance of structure to my day that helps me get my mind right for the tasks I have to tackle. It also helps me walk away and not overthink the ones I have already completed. How do you bring ideas to life? I usually start with an idea or something that would really matter to a specifc group of people and then I start asking questions. I will then usually build some simple example, or take steps to create what I’m trying to do, and show it to people get feedback and repeat until I reach my goal. What’s one trend that really excites you? It has gotten easier and easier to bring big ideas to life, and to compete, due to the growth of cloud services. To me, it really levels the playing field for a lot of ideas, that just 5 years ago, would have been impossible for all but the largest companies to bring to life. What is one habit of yours that makes you more productive as an entrepreneur? I try to be fairly aware of my own ADD and so I will make lists to hold myself accountable for the items on them. I also try to solve this problem in our hiring practices by surrounding myself with people that are very detail and process focused. What advice would you give your younger self? Find a problem you think you can solve and really focus on it. Resist the urge to move from that problem until you have demonstrated by positive user feedback and growth that you have actually solved it. If you do that, and continue to do it over and over again, you will be successful. Tell us something that’s true that almost nobody agrees with you on? That I am a good singer ? I don’t know that I am very persuasive here …. but I do know I can’t sing. As an entrepreneur, what is the one thing you do over and over and recommend everyone else do? I am constantly talking to our customers. I try to involve them early on, and very often in our process. This is one area I struggle with as we evolve and scale our product development processes, but it is critical to maintaining that connection as to why your customers want your product in the first place. What is one strategy that has helped you grow your business? Please explain how. Surrounding myself with supremely talented people and partners. It has been instrumental to my own growth and the growth of my businesses. What is one failure you had as an entrepreneur, and how did you overcome it? That would probably be my first company, Load Ltd. Load was a hosted application service provider before there was a term for Software As A Service (SaaS). We had a popular email product called LoadMail, that was used by a number of major companies. About 1 year into the business we chose to offer additional services above and beyond just mail and it was this decision that would prove to be our failure. As a team, we didn’t fully understand how diversifying our focus would negatively impact our effectiveness. I tell everyone who asks for advice to pick a problem you can solve and focus on solving it well. Successful entrepreneurs have one thing in common — they never give up. What is one business idea that you’re willing to give away to our readers? I like ideas that take subject knowledge and find a way to productize it. One idea I had was to do this for athletic departments in D1 schools, so they could crowdsource from their athletes, managers, and students the creation of social marketing content. They could then manage it from a centrally controllable compliance system. Or Plastics !! Invest in Plastics (god I’m old) What is the best $100 you recently spent? What and why? Money spent on experiences, dinner with my wife or friends, or money that helps someone. Recently, since we are living across the country from each other, it would be dinner with my wife the last time I was at home in Las Vegas. What is one piece of software or a web service that helps you be productive? How do you use it? Slack. It helps our entire team communicate. What is the one book that you recommend our community should read and why? “Start With Why” by Simon Sinek. It helps you think about what you are building in a way that really focuses on how it will be consumed by those whom you are selling it to. What is your favorite quote? “Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm.” -Winston Churchill Tell us about one friend or acquaintance of yours who we should interview on IdeaMensch. Who are they, what are they doing and what’s their email address? I actually have two Nick Jones, Nick and I started what was our first real company together Load Ltd along with my current business partner Paul Korol. Nick’s is currently working on a great project focused on personal and affinity based content creation called JRNL.com, they have recently been through boom Startup a SaaS focused startup accelerator in Salt Lake City and have just completed a seed round of funding. John Njoku, John is working on a great project RentHub.com, which is at the intersection of Multifamily Residential Realestate and Big Data Analytics. RentHub has some huge clients such as StarWood capital and The Lefrak Organization and has recently completed the Elmspring accelerator based in Chicago.

I know I'm such an idiot. Let me just take it off. I'm gonna get some more towels. You're only making it worse. All right, I'll be right back. We'll have towels. That's not gonna work on this shade. How long is that flight? Okay, yeah, let's go ahead and book those three coach tickets. Yes, the number is 4-0-1-2, 7-4-9-6, 2-3-9-0, 5-1-8-5. Oh, the zip code is 1-7-9-0-2. Perfect. Yeah.

你好，我們有收到一封訊息，想向你們求證是否為真，謝謝。內容如下: I am interested in your advertised property but first, I have something very confidential to discuss with you. I am a U.S soldier assigned to be protecting the Red Cross officials here in Aleppo. I have the sum of $9.2 million in two medium sized boxes that were handed over to me by a Syrian business man for safekeeping. Unfortunately, this man and his family were accidentally killed in a bombardment by Russian forces in Aleppo. He was a very successful business man dealing on gold dust/bars before his death. Because of my closeness to him, he brought the money in a box here for me to assist him store in the Red Cross storage warehouse and he had no knowledge that he and his family were going to die. The entire money is in cash and stacked in a box. For safety reasons, I cannot continue to keep this huge sum of money here. I want to transfer this fund to you as the beneficiary through the Red Cross diplomatic courier services because I don't know where to keep this fund again here in Syria. I just need your acceptance and I will start the courier process. For your sincere assistance, I will give you 20% of the money which is $1.84 million. I want to invest the fund in real estate or any other sector which you can recommend. I cannot transfer this fund through bank because here, banks are controlled by government forces which make it impossible too because of the sanction imposed on the country by United Nations. I can only send this money out of here as a registered diplomatic cargo and transported by a Red Cross jet which flies in and out of here two times a week. Where I am now we can only communicate through the Red Cross communication facility which only permits me to send Emails and we can't make phone calls now because in the area which I am presently, phone communication network was blocked by the government. Please if you are interested in helping me I will give to you the complete details you need for us to carry out this transaction successfully. I think it will be good to diversify our investment. Apart from real estate we can as well invest in other sectors. As for me I think it is good to first invest in real estate. I would owe you my life if you help me. I wait for your fast response so I can give you further details upon hearing from you. Regards, Kenny
