In particular, I wanna focus as an overarching theme on the fundamental idea of using the mind to change the brain for the better, so that it benefits the mind and in widening ripples , all beings. So, to do that we wanna get, I wanna get first at some basic information about the brain and about what I call self-directed neuroplasticity. The fundamental idea that mental activitysculpts neural structure, which gives us opportunities increasingly to intervene actually inside the black box of the brain.
undulations um sometimes they're kind of ridiculously regular like that one sometimes they're a bit more like ripples in the sand Li um Moon there disappearing peekingthrough and then the lacos cloud has
And bottom line in decentralization is-- there's a bright line. If Ripple did not exist, would the network continue to function? Yes. So that's that hard line of which side you're on.
I mean, 14 to 1. that ripple effect can go out so that the way that you deal with that stakeholder is impacted way out there.
Here are lots of our student meeting pictures. These ripples in spacetime, they are just carrying away energy.
What happens over there doesn't nicely stay over there. It ripples out over here. And what we do, it matters, because of those waves of connection.
center, very subtle features. Those ripples are sound waves that are set in motion by these bubbles. The sound waves spread out across the whole system.
A handful of companies, servers, and data centers hold the personal information of millions of people, so when one of them gets hacked, it can have ripple effects across the whole network. We've had scammers get a hold of email addresses and phone numbers of writers on our team and then send them messages pretending to be me.
So also provide some space and grace just because they are a "quote-unquote" student. And that ripple effect, even if you change one person's life, you might be changing their world, right?
that they are concerned that in doing so, in promoting someone so rapidly through the university system, it has had a ripple effect that other black and Asian academics in the UK now fear that their work may be discredited despite their established research. church reputations and I'm sitting here with
Yeah, it's terribly dangerous. And there are ripple effects from it. If our lens on the world is perfection, we'll see nothing good.
But that's been 20 years for me of working out things. It should be a ripple effect that trickles throughout the year and hopefully has an effect on those other countries that aren't as progressive.
actually does-- has great ripple effects that most of us can't even experience or know.
and the ripple effects of representation in media in everything-- everyone on this panel is talking about-- on immigration, on politics, on the economy and leadership
and that's the ripple I'm talking about.
But it just seemed like it was a matter of time before you have a global digital asset with no government backing and no counterparty. As far as Ripple itself, we should actually go back to about '04. There was something called The Ripple Project created by Ryan Fugger, a Canadian gentleman.
So they have a very pure incentive to just hash as much as possible, get paid, rinse and repeat. In the case of Ripple , since the validators are chosen by the users, if a validator, for example, votes against a block size increase or something like that if there were an issue in Ripple , then you would eventually find that users would no longer add that validator to their list.
But we didn't have a very good roadmap in order to-- how to overcome that, because the system is really-- it's just centers are set up in a, I would now say, bad way. Whereas with Ripple , the incentives are in order. And so it's just a matter of validators having the right amount of operational histories so people actually start trusting them, and us having enough confidence in the software
But there's another ripple effect that I felt, that I noticed from the documentary, which is it's actually beneficial to the environment.
And the ripple effect of that will reach an entire continent.
bigger product that ripple effect benefit would never have occurred I'd like to Pivot a little bit to

So you see the ripple effect of the, of this growth is not just that government's getting bigger and companies are getting bigger, but the you know disparity between the Washington
You can imagine ripples that are converging to a single point, and then a big splash occurs, maybe even a singularity.
This generational loss has rippled across communities.
Get it all rippled .
which set some ripples off.
So these are ripples in the fabric of space time, which sounds like science fiction, but is real.
And it just ripples across throughout the United States.
And now, if you think about this description of space-like rubber sheet that stretches in the presence of mass, you immediately say, OK, maybe it can have ripples . Maybe it can have ripples in spacetime itself. And those are gravitational waves.
But in the meantime, this here down here is what the gravitational wave waveform looks like. You can see these ripples being emitted. And then as they spiral in towards each other, the ripples get bigger, and they also start getting closer and closer to each other.
It really ripples out over here.
They're ripples in the shape of spacetime.
And that difference ripples out.
It would cause these ripples , these distortions, in the very fabric of space itself.
And it ripples out in all these other directions.
