#1008 Hello Mary Let me bore you to sleep (Jason Newland) (5th June 2023)

Hello and welcome to Let Me Bore You To Sleep. Hello, hello, how are you? Are you well? So just want to say a quick hello to Mary who sent me a message and I'll read it out. Where are you? Jason, where are you? Where have you been? Why are you not making recordings anymore? Where are you? Have you moved? Have you stopped doing it? Where are you?

So yeah, I'm here.

Thanks, Mary. I'm here. Please only listen when you can safely close your eyes.

Oh, and this is Let Me Bore You To Sleep. My website is jasonnewland.com. That's about it, isn't it? There's nothing else to say. Oh, dear.

Well, I've got to go into YouTube. Someone's left me a new subscriber. Leone.

Thank you, Leone for subscribing. Yeah, thank you very much. So I've been working on the YouTube channel.

I've been not sure how to say this, how best to is this quite a lot goes into this whole thing. I mean, I could just make recordings, upload them and then just move on to the next recording and just do that. But which would probably maybe that should be the what I should do maybe should should should should should.

But I'm also looking at ways to improve what I'm doing to improve the visibility of my podcasts, looking at ways to maybe although Sunday's a pretty quiet day, but I've transcribed one of my videos, one of my podcast episodes today. And it's it's Yeah, was that direct? Oh, no. Oh, okay.

So it's it doesn't. It's not perfect. If you know, I mean, I've done this is a thing called I forget what it's called now.

Let me have a look. It's called something. Oh, anyway.

Oh, squeaky chair. So I've got the transcript. And I had to edit it because some of the things weren't correct.

Then it's given me the actual transcript of edited it and it's fine. Well, kind of fun. I've you know, it's pretty much okay as far as the wording and everything.

But then they've made a summary, which is good. But they've they've created that themselves. The AI is an AI thing created that.

I guess it's AI. I don't know. They created that from the transcript that was spelt my name n u l a n d. And I can't edit it.

You know, it's like, what's going on? And then next to learnings, this is the page it says, what is the speaker's name? The speaker's name is Jason Noland. What should the listener do to prepare for this session for this session? The listeners should get comfortable in a chair or bed wear loose clothing and make sure they won't be disturbed. What should the listener focus on during the session?

The listener should focus on relaxing and releasing tension in their body.

This is for a deep sleep whisper hypnosis recording by the way. Number four, what should the listener visualize during the session? The listener should visualize being by the sea at sunrise with calm waves and peaceful surroundings. Which is what the recording is about.

Number five, can the listener choose to continue relaxing or fall asleep during the session? Yeah, they really can. The listener can choose to continue relaxing or drift off to sleep naturally. Oh, see, that's cool.

But why can't I edit my own name? It's my name. I don't get it. It's like, I guess I just need to research into it.

Like, how can I edit stuff? But it's pretty good. You know, it's deep sleep whisper 27th of May. It's only a few days ago.

It's the fourth of June now. And the idea behind this is that Google search engines are more able to pick up the podcast episodes if there's a transcript connected to it. I don't know.

I really don't know if it's if it's the case. I like to think so. But it's, you know, who knows? The YouTube channel is tired.

It's 21 minutes past eight in the evening. I've been up since I've been up since I was born, really. I've got 981 subscribers on YouTube.

It's slowly growing is slowly. But today, I've had more views on today's video than normal. So that's pretty good.

So it's a slow, slow thing. It's slow. I'm okay with that.

It's there's no hurry. I can't be in a hurry. There's no point hurrying.

After all these years. After all these years, I might as well just take my time. Go with the flow.

Blah, blah. So yeah, how many videos do I actually have? I wonder how many videos I actually have. So let me go right to the end.

I've got lots of videos. But I don't know how many I've got actually got on the YouTube channel. I suppose I could look at the go to the channel and say, Oh, I'm so used to using a laptop now that when I use the iPad, it almost it's weird using it.

352 videos on YouTube. There's still a few left to actually be released, as it were. Because I've got all the way up to the I think 22nd of May, no June.

22nd of June. Is it? Come on, what's the internet going so slowly? Why? 22nd of June? Yeah. So that's so there's still a couple of weeks left.

And on Wednesday, I'll probably start to get a few more uploaded. So that that's a slow thing. What I have what I have discovered is some new software on Adobe Audition, I think it is.

And it can transform an old recording and make it clearer. And I tested it with a with a recording and really worked well, like really got wow. But the video itself is a really, really bad picture.

It's just very it was recorded. I don't know. 10.

What are we now 2018? No 2020 to 23. 2020 2013. So probably about 10 years ago, this this video was made.

And it was in a dark room, underground. I mean, it was a cellar basically. So there weren't a lot of light.

And although the recording was okay, I mean, it wasn't particularly good quality sound or good quality picture. Apart from that, it was brilliant. It was great.

Yeah. And I was just thinking I could maybe refurbish or I don't know for the correct terminology is. If I can make the videos look better, and get the sound better, I can perhaps reupload them.

But the problem is I sound about 10. You know, I've got a video from wow, it was 2011. And it's the relaxation plan 30 day relaxation plan course I had.

And I read it and I did it on a I did on a camera. I think I recorded on a camera video camera. There's no microphone, it's just on the camera.

So the sound was not very, not very great. The picture was better than the sound. Although I don't think I have the pictures anymore.

I think I lost the videos. But I've still got the mp3s. And I read did the sound and it was way better.

I really came out pretty good. So I don't know. I'm not sure what the point is what I'm saying.

But yeah, that's just what I've just been looking at. I'll be looking at stuff. I've been looking.

Now, what's going on in the world? Shall we look? Shall we? Shall we? I have what is it? Where is it? I've got a new app, which I downloaded. And it's free for I don't know how long it's free for bits. It's a news app.

I just got to find out where it is. Where is it? Where readly readly? Really? Yep. So it's readly r a a d l a. And I think this is the one.

Account info. Manage or cancel. Go to the DB or buy you know.

So basically, it's newspapers and magazines. There are 1000s. And it's not expensive either.

So I thought, I'll have a little look. Have a little look at newspapers. Now the problem with me doing it while I'm actually talking on the podcast is I've done it before.

And it can be a little bit difficult to find anything that's readable. I don't mean that I'm unable to read. What I mean is the words too big.

Now what is not the most positive stories, which is kind of what I'm looking for. I'm looking for something that's going to be a bit more positive, you know, a bit more kind of. I mean, it doesn't have to be funny.

It doesn't have to be. I mean, ideally, it would be funny. Why is it good? Why is why am I getting Russian newspapers and German newspapers? I mean, it needs to be in English.

I mean, for me, you know, not I got no issue with other papers just or independence, independence, the Observer, show all show all the Observer, Wales on Sunday, I didn't know there was a Wales on Sunday. Sunday Mail, Sunday Star, Daily Star, Sunday Express, Sunday Mirror, Sunday People. See, I'm sure you're sure the Sunday people used to be called the people.

Because there was no because it's on the hour Sunday. Yeah. Eating out the Guardian.

Okay. Daily Star. So that's yesterday.

So this is Sunday said 123456789. Nine newspapers for Sunday. And I wonder if there's any USA papers, like international papers.

So, papers by country, Austria, India, Switzerland, France, Ireland, United Kingdom, Germany and Sweden. What about all the other countries? What about America? Global News, so maybe the Irish Daily, the Mirror, Daily Express. Oh, I thought it might be so American, you know, the search.

There's got to be surely. Because I'd be quite interested in see what's going on in other countries, you know. Can't do it by language, because technically, English and Americans have got the same language.

But although a lot of the words are spelled differently, and pronounced differently. Aluminum. It's aluminium.

So look, you say magazines, so there's magazines, pages, there's no papers, so TV, film, civic, lifestyle, news, and politics, boats, gaming, go away, go away, news and politics. Oh, okay, no. So it's not very worldy.

It's kind of free much without it. I tell you one thing that's pretty good about this is to do have magazines as well. And they also have have boxing, they've got sports stuff, you know, different magazines.

There's also local newspapers in the UK, from different areas of the country, which pretty cool, actually. Now said out loud doesn't sound so exciting, but it did to start with. Okay.

Okay. Midlands, North East, South East, Surrey, and where am I? Harold, Camberley, Aldershot, Uxbridge, Sevenoaks, Hertfordshire, Ealing, chronic, or an informer, Dover Express, Folkestone, Herald, Essex Chronicle, Essex. Oh, there's different days.

No. Oh, Essex Chronicle, Malden. Blimey.

So yeah, they've got nothing in my area, which is weird. That's strange, isn't it? It's almost like I don't exist. Do I exist? I do wonder sometimes.

It's almost like, do I? Let's have a look. Today, Thursday, the 1st of June. Oh, it only comes out once a week.

Really? Once a week? What is the point in that? I mean, it's not a bad thing. Yeah, I'm sorry. I'm just just saying, I mean, once a week.

Southwest. Maybe I live in the Southwest. No, I don't.

Okay. I mean, the papers are there. I mean, it might not be every day.

The Herald. Supporters, pay coffee shops, lockdown, fine. Saturday, the 3rd of January, June.

Saturday, the 3rd of June. So let's have a look. Let's click on that one.

Have a little look. Right. So that's £1.65. So this would cost me £1.65. I don't know why I'm saying it twice.

But I haven't paid £1.65 because I've got a free trial. And if I was to read every single paper. Wow.

Trusted news since 1895. That's before you were born, probably. Blimey.

Maybe not all of you, but some of you. Plymouth. Plymouth, named one of the best city break locations.

Brilliant. That's nice. Holmes, MP says new frigates will be world class.

Okay, that's good. Plymouth, one of the best UK city breaks. Okay.

Land of... It's Iceland. Land of BBQ. Man, okay.

I would say so. Man found and he's named. Why do you wait until someone dies to name them? We're helping make energy prices more predictable.

Cat and five kittens ready to be rehomed. Oh, I saw this very funny thing on Instagram. And I don't not really into like videos, little short videos and stuff.

But this one was, it's, you know, the voiceover on these cats. And it was funny, is that actually did make me laugh. I'm still laughing now.

No, it's good. It was good. It's just, they do make the cutest faces.

I think that's the thing with cats. People don't have cats. All they see is cat or just be sitting there on top of a car or at the bottom of a car, or just you know, being dodgy in a bush.

These are like people that don't have cats. And if they've had a cat, that might be all they think they do and maybe make noise at night in summertime. But then if you do have a cat, especially from a kitten, they're hilarious.

Absolutely hilarious. And so much fun. They just is.

I mean, I know I'm talking to the to the curated or whatever you call it, but probably if you got cats, but I don't have a cat. But they are a lot of fun and very funny. I mean, I thought that Vinnie wanted to eat a cat.

I thought because he had that instincts in him that he doesn't understand. But he was in the garden the other day. And he went up to a cat.

And he was just wanted to say hello. That's it. He's kind of conflicted.

He just the cat was acting very defensive. But he just wanted to play. I don't think he really I mean, he can smell the difference between dogs and cats, no doubt.

Because the sense of smell is just phenomenal, isn't it with dogs? He can smell the difference. So you can tell it's not a dog. He loves dogs.

He loves the smell of dogs for some reason. But he doesn't seem as if he's in hunter mode when he sees a cat. He just wants to say hello.

I do think he's just got so much love in him. There's something so wrong with him. He's just he's full of love.

Yeah, he's still he's still stroppy. And he still wants to get his own way all the time and still wants to, you know, be the boss. But ultimately, just he just loves everybody.

It doesn't matter who they are. He'll jump up and he wants to just be their friend, whether it's a dog or elephant. It doesn't matter.

He just loves everybody. Except me, I'm the only one he gives a hard time to. He's nice to everybody else.

I'm the only one that he really gives hassle to. But listen, the former Finley Crop Shop owners have been able to pay. Okay, that's gone.

Let's move on to the next one. Cafe helps feed families half cafe a cafe helps feed families with half term offer. Okay, let's read this one.

That's nice, isn't it? Owner, Teresa, I'm guessing I don't know if it's correct to raise that Alan at the courtyard cafe in Torpoint. That's a picture of her. So that's she's in a well, it's got a picture of a coffee machine behind her or next to her.

And some jugs where you put milk in. Well, I suppose you could put any liquid in there really. But as a coffee shop, I imagine this milk probably not going to be poo, is it? You know, it's not.

Here's a cup of diarrhea. No, it's a coffee. Why would you put diarrhea into a little milk jug? I don't know.

People do weird things. Anyway. A business owner in Torpoint, I don't know where that is, has been helping families during the half term by offering a cheap meal deal for you for four family members.

Teresa or Terraza or Terraza. Alan, who owns the courtyard cafe, cafe on 4th Street has put on a special offer to feed a family of four for just 300 pounds. Terraza for 18 pounds.

How much does that work each then? 18. 18. Two nines is 18.

Half a nine is it's less than four pounds 70, isn't it? It's four pounds 50. It's four pounds 50. Yeah.

Which is less than four pounds 70. Why do you argue with me every time? So four pounds 50 per person. That's pretty good, isn't it? I just want to just as a disclaimer, I worked out earlier on a calculator.

I didn't. I didn't. Terraza says that she wanted to help families keep the cost down if they want to eat out for breakfast or lunch during the half term.

The 48 year old says she recognizes that times are hard and eating out and socializing with friends and family is a luxury. That's why we've designed our family meal deal to give everyone a helping hand this half term. You can dine between 8.30 and 3.00 a.m. Cool.

That's nice. I don't know. It's a long way to travel, though, because it's the other side of the country.

It's in Plymouth. That's about six hours traveling in the car from here. So yeah, cool.

This could be might be people listening to this don't know what half term is. What do you mean half term? What is that? Is that an English thing? It might be. I don't know.

Genuinely, I don't know. And it's not not an English thing. I think it happens in Scotland.

It happens in Wales. I think it probably happens in Ireland as well. I might be wrong.

It might happen in other countries. But if you don't, if you're in a country that you don't have half term, what it is, is it's a time where you you basically leave your kids in the school for a week. You leave them in, you take you take the clothes with them, rucksack and stuff on the Friday.

And they basically just sleep over for a whole week in the school. And then it's basically just to give families a rest, give you a give the families a break from the little look from their lovely kids, lovely children. So this is something that's done.

It's halfway through the term. Is it you call it semester is a siesta or semester in America term because we have three terms in a year here. And that's all the way through college and university as well.

As far as I'm aware, it was like that when I did university, those three terms, September to Christmas, and then January to April, Easter. And then after that until the year to summer. I wish I was back at university.

I'd like to go back. I'd like not necessarily there. But it's this two things I'm three things I'm interested in.

I'd like to study now. I'd like to get a degree. And I've already I've already got a degree.

I've got an undergraduate degree of honours in counselling studies. And I've got a diploma in person centred counselling. So we'll drink a tea.

But I ended up getting a third, which was quite a low grade. And I've talked about this before. And I will keep mentioning it because I don't know if I'm trying to convince myself that I could have done better.

It might just be I'm lying to myself. But genuinely, I struggled, I struggled, I did that. That's true.

I struggled at university, and I wouldn't have got my degree had it not been for my friend, with more than one friend, but one particular friend, but also the other people in the course. They helped me not not to do the coursework, but just helped me. Just I don't know what the right word is.

But you know, support wise emotionally and just yeah, they were good. And even the the head of the course helped me. You know, you just there's a couple people on the course that I've gotten the teachers that I've gone well with and they both like pretty good at supporting and also the my supervisor as well.

My counselor supervisor was good. And the person that was in charge of the counseling service who gave me clients was really good. I've gotten well with him.

Because I didn't have all I had to do 100 hours of client work as part of the course. Part of the degree course, no, it's part of the as part of the counseling course. So the the course is basically broke up into three.

The first year was the counseling certificate. So it's a person centered counseling certificate. The second year was person centered counseling diploma.

In order to get that diploma, I had to have 100 hours counseling clients, as well as 20 hours or 10 hours personal counseling and stuff like that, as well as you know, coursework, etc. And writing up course, case studies. The third year was for the degree.

So I mean, the whole three years for the degree, but the third year was a degree, dissertation, and other stuff. And got into, you know, psychology and more into that kind of things, moved moved away from, I guess, counseling a bit, it was still about counseling, but moved more into studying around like sociology and psychology and things like that, you know, things more broader. And so, and the third year, I don't know, the third just just, it just went so quick.

Really, the whole three years went so quick. And a weird thing about it is I finished the degree course in 2010. 13 years ago, and last year, or maybe the year before, or maybe the year four before that, because time goes by so quickly, sometimes I applied for a master's degree.

And it was in positive psychology. I got a student loan, they accepted it 10 grand, they were going to give me we're not give me they would have just sent it directly to the university. So 10 grand.

So I just thought, well, I'm going to get on the course. The course wouldn't even interview me, didn't want me. Because of my grade.

It's like, wow, I can't even pay my way into it. And trying to explain that is the grade is the grade because of, I'm not going to pretend I'm an academic, because I'm not. But I probably more, I've got more, more academic ability than I give myself credit for.

Because I don't give myself any credit at all for that. I could have done better. I know that better.

And I think I could probably, I think the pressure would be off because now that I've got a degree, and I can do it, a master's, although, I guess harder in some ways, but it's only like for a year or two years. It's or maybe 18 months, so it's a shorter course. And it'd be more focused, which is what I'd like.

More of a focused on one thing. Well, not one thing, but a particular subject. Because with counselling, it was like looking at all different angles and ethics and best practice and, you know, just no secret filming, things like that.

Just, I don't know, just, it's just general stuff. But the positive psychology course, and there was a course, it was a subject that I've already know quite a fair bit about. Maybe not a huge amount, but, you know, I've studied the subject in the past.

And I thought it would be almost ideal for me. But yeah, they didn't. They didn't.

They didn't. They didn't. I had to give, well, although they didn't give me, I didn't get the £10,000.

But I had to kind of just like, sorry, don't need it now. Unless, of course, you can just give it to me and I'll give it to them. No, doesn't work like that.

Thank you for calling and goodbye. So I, when I think about doing another course, I'm thinking, I kind of need to just do another undergraduate degree. Because I can't get accepted onto a master's.

It seems a shame to have to go for another three years. Or if I do online, possibly another seven, eight years, especially at my age, I mean, I'll be 90 next year, in fact. So I'll have to do, yeah, my only option seems to be to do another undergraduate.

So if I did choose to do another undergraduate, there's only three subjects that, four actually, four subjects that interest me. Philosophy, I've been interested in philosophy all my adult life. And the other thing, the other ones, psychology, I've been interested in psychology all my adult life as well.

So that's two, they're the two degrees that I always thought about getting when I thought about doing university courses when I was young. I used to dream about it, but never expected to ever actually do it. And then when I did do it, I didn't want to be, I didn't want to do a psychology degree.

The whole point was to do a counseling, I wanted to be a counselor. So then, then, then, then, oh yeah, so the other thing, so psychology and philosophy, they were the two that I wanted to do. Never wanted to be a counselor until I started getting interested in counseling when I started having counseling, like properly.

Although, I mean, I've been having counseling since about 1997. So it's been a while, I guess, but on and off. I didn't really believe that I was cut out for it.

It was only really once I started doing the hypnosis sessions with people, one-on-one help people with pain relief, helping people at the, the drug rehab and the alcoholic clinic, the alcohol dependency clinic. That's when I thought, oh, because I was around counselors and I really liked them. They were just all, most of them were really nice.

I nearly said all of them, there was one though. Yeah, but generally they were nice. And I thought, maybe if I become a counselor, I can become nice.

I could be a nice person. So that's kind of, that's pretty much part of the thinking and help people as well. So that's kind of the main reason I went in that direction.

And I did ask the manager of the alcohol charity, how to become a counselor. And she brought out some leaflets, some information. And one of those was the college that I ended up going to.

So, you know, it was kind of, that's what led me there. Anyway, so I wouldn't go on a counseling course because I've done that. I don't think I would bother doing philosophy.

I'm interested in philosophy, but I'm not even sure that I could. I don't know if I could, I don't know. I mean, I'm interested in, I guess I'm not as interested as I used to be.

I don't read as much philosophy, I don't read as much of anything really so much these days. I do read stuff and I watch videos and lectures and stuff like that. But I used to be, used to really be into the philosophy.

And that's why I like Buddhism, because it was very philosophical, like Zen and Taoism and, what's the other one? We've got Sufism as well, hasn't it? Maybe it is Taoism, I'll think about. There was different sort of very Eastern, the Eastern philosophy I liked. I really did like it, I warmed to it.

And, but I probably wouldn't go for a degree in that. I'd quite like to do a degree. So the three things, I'm still interested in doing a degree in, not counselling, in psychology.

I'm interested in doing a degree or studying AI, artificial intelligence, or ant intestines, as I like to call it. Or, neuro, neuro, psychoneuro, psych, oh blimey, what's it called? I've completely forgotten the name. Studying brain, studying the brain.

Oh, come on. Psychology is a study of the brain. No, the actual brain, brain, not the brain, that's the mind.

Psychology is studying the mind and the brain. Neuroscience, blimey, it went out of my head. I knew it was neuro something.

I knew it had something to do with science. Neuroscience. What's the time? So, I don't know.

I mean, neuroscience is pretty serious. I don't know if there are any courses, the courses in neuroscience. Okay, neuroscience.

Neuroscience. Neuroscience university courses. Okay, neuroscience university courses.

Okay, let's have a look. UCL, studying at the UCL Queen's Square Institute of Neurology. Where is that? Is that London? Queen's Square Institute.

UCL home. UCL. UCL, we tackle some of the world's biggest unsolved problems.

London Global University. No, that'd be UGL. No, UGU.

Okay, forget it. What does UCL stand for? UCL was rated second in the UK for research power in the research excellence framework 2021. Oh, learn more about UCL.

Come on. Founded in 1826 in the heart of London. UCL is London's leading multidisciplinary university with more than 16,000 staff.

Blimey, 16,000 staff. When I did my university course, I think there can be more than 100 staff and 50,000 students from over 150 different countries. We are a diverse community with the freedom and courage to challenge, to question, and to think differently.

Through a progressive approach to teaching and research, our world leading academics, curious students, and outstanding staff continually pursue excellence, break boundaries, and make an impact on real world problems. Wow, that sounds good, doesn't it? Tell you what, though, and I keep coming back to this. I still want to study chronic pain.

I'd love to have a degree in chronic pain management, because that was what I started out doing. That was what I started out. I started out frying chips.

I mean, that's if you want to go back far enough, but I just, that would have been my dream, dream. Division of surgery and intervention scientists. So I think this is for surgeons and doctors.

I need 12 people allowed per year. Oh, no. Number of students on module in previous year, 12.

Module last updated. Links, disclaimer, glossary, since you're going to be here. Oh, it's shifting credits, so it's just a one-off thing.

That's in London, so. I don't want to travel to London, though. You can't make me.

I'd rather be closer. I don't expect to walk around the corner. That'd be nice.

Not walking around the corner, but just, oh, there is one. BSc psychology with cognitive neuroscience. The thing is, I don't know what it is.

I've always been a little bit like this. I don't know why, but I don't mean my personality wise, but I quite like, I'm not a big fan of the degrees that have got mixed things with them, like psychology with cognitive neuroscience. I just, I don't know why.

There's no reason for it. I just, you know, like philosophy with psychology degree, like, like either be a psychology or be philosophy, not both. It's almost, I guess I want to be able to feel that I've specialised in one thing, one subject, one topic.

Maybe, it's just me. It's just me, isn't it? Cognitive neuroscience and neuropsychology. There's another one, psychology with neuroscience, cognitive neuroscience.

To be fair, they all seem to have the same note. Blimey. Oh, right.

It's the same unit. It's the course at the same place. Yeah.

There's only one course basically in the whole of this area. No, that's not true. Why would you say something like that? UCL.

Is that the one I just looked at? Yeah. UCL. Home.

Yeah, Queens. It's the same place I've just been to. New study degree.

Oh, I know her. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I don't know.

Any other thing? What is it? Neuroscience, psychology, AI. See. Artificial intelligence and adaptive systems, MSC.

Blimey. That's like the other side of the country. I'll go there.

Let's take it. Let's go. University.

Yeah. There's still time to apply. I mean, it's only June.

Well, yeah, so I was getting on getting on in the year and it starts in September. University of. Is I don't know.

The problem with artificial intelligence is not a problem, but it's moving so quickly that. I don't even know how would the course be outdated by the time I finished it. Because in three years time.

The world's going to be different because of AI. And three years is is phenomenal. What is being done? I don't just I thought I'm following it quite, quite, quite a lot at the moment.

And. It's a race, it's basically a race between Google, Microsoft. And open AI.

Then, and they're kind of, well, I suppose there's others as well, but Google, Microsoft. Because you got Microsoft's got Bing. And Bing were the first ones to and you got chat GPT.

Chat GPT, which is open AI. Now, being which Microsoft's search engine, which no one used ever, I don't think. Suddenly, they've incorporated chat GTG PT into their search engine, which means you can create, you could just do so much.

It's just so nice. So it's phenomenal. So now, they've gone from hardly anyone using Bing to 100 million people a day using it.

But I'm making a lot of this up. I don't know what the stats are. But I don't know anyone that ever used Bing, Google, Google's been the one.

So Google, I'm pretty sure had a drop in traffic the last few months. And they're they've launched in something, I forget what it's called now. Bender, Bender, Bendy, Google AI, Google AI, Google AI, what is Google AI called? BARD, BARD.

They recently rolled out a bot dubbed BARD is the internet search giant science of the chat GPT that Microsoft has been melding into its Bing search engine and other software. So open AI is pretty much the biggest winner. I'm pretty guessing really.

And they've got a chat chat GPT free, then the 3.5. And then for and I use for and I pay a subscription, it's like 20 pound a month to use that. And before it got to the point where there's no point using it, because Bing is better. Because it's incorporated, chat GPT into the search engine Bing.

So you can get up to date, because before, well, on the current chat, chat GPT, as it is, all the information taken from the internet, the model is trained on all the information only went up to September 2021, I think. So I actually went in and said, What's the news? Give me the latest news. And it told me that the Olympic game might be 22.

But 21 said, Oh, the Olympic Games is coming to an end. And Nixon is, is, is potentially going to be standing down. So that is like, well, it's really outdated.

And hopefully, the first man on the moon will happen soon. And I'm like, wow. But then a plugin arrived on chat GPT.

Sorry, if this is mumble bumble to you, if it's not something you're interested in, or not something you know about, because I didn't know about it until I did. It's now the Bing plugin. So you can now use chat GPT with Bing.

So you can either go to Bing and do it there, or you can go to chat GPT. Because the Bing it comes up as like a small part of the page on the side of the page with chat GPT. It's you know, it's a separate app or a separate page.

And it's really good now to get real time. Real time. I'll give you an example.

I'm not sure if it works. Bing, let's go into Bing. Bing, there you go.

Bing, introducing a new Bing, ask real questions, get complete answers. Who is Jason Newland? Okay. He is a senior business.

Damn you. That's not it. That's got pictures of me though.

And they're weird. Yeah. Okay.

Jason Newland is a senior business systems manager with Trinity SF, based in San Francisco. Right, okay. Then it's good.

Then it's got Jason Nolan, and Jeffrey Newland. Okay. So this is this is the first bit.

And then you go down a little bit. Images of who's Jason Newland. Now there's 12345 pictures of me.

There's 1234567 pictures of Jason Newland, the doctor. There are two of the pictures the same. There's a picture of a lady.

Relax and sleep. There's a picture of me holding Andre. That's cute.

And me lying down. And then underneath that. It's all me.

Well, not all me, but a lot of it's just me. Like Apple podcast, relax and sleep hypnosis about Jason Newland. That's from my website.

And Apple podcasts again. Then Facebook, my Facebook page, my YouTube channel. So it's weird, isn't it? So all that stuff about other people, and then when it comes down to it, I'm the first, but it's not telling me who I am.

That's all. If you actually click chat, I didn't click chat. So if you click chat, I need to throw a dinner party.

Unlock conversation on me. Why is it doing that? There's no need for that. So chat, I should not allow me to do it.

So I have to unlock conversation search on Microsoft Edge. I have to download Microsoft Edge onto the iPad. I've got it on my laptop.

But I don't really want to do too much. New messing around on my iPad. Because it's the iPad is a little worse.

So is the laptop, but they're kind of separate things. I don't mean physically separate, or dimensionally separate just. So it doesn't work.

But that's not that it doesn't work, but it just doesn't work on. Because I'm using internet. What am I using? Oh, what's it called? What's the what's the iPad? The iPad search engine? Whatever that one's called.

So I'm on there. What is it? I think it was called. It's weird, isn't it? Maybe I never knew.

Maybe I never knew. Maybe I just don't care. Maybe, maybe.

You don't see the name of it anywhere. That's the thing. I know what it is.

Show Readiness, Show Bookmarks, Safari, Blimey. Yeah, but it doesn't have it. It doesn't have the name anywhere.

And it hasn't got an S. Although I suppose it is. Because I want that is a compass or something. So I haven't really got much done, have I? I'm talking and it's just the time's gone by so very, very quickly.

So very, very quickly. Oh, so yeah, I'll be thinking about that. I mean, maybe I could do an open university course and do it from home.

But I think part of the benefits of doing a university course is potentially meeting new people. And I need to be might sound weird, but I almost need to be forced and pushed into meeting new people. Because I don't like it.

And not I'm not. Um, yeah, I'm a solitary person. I have been pretty much my whole life.

So there's benefits of good. I've benefited from knowing people. Not everyone, but I've benefited from knowing some people.

Emotionally, I mean. So as well as other ways, I mean, yeah, I've been helped in the past. Yeah, I guess I'll just have a little look, a little look to see what's up.

But I didn't get very far with the newspapers, did I? It really would be a 10 hour session of me talking about the newspapers. If I can only get a tiny little bit of one story out, I can only get as far as half term without then talking about something else that leads to something else that leads to something else. I'm never gonna, I mean, the only way to do it, maybe if I edit, if I just do talk until I've finished and then edit it, but then it's not really about that, is it?

It's about being boring and you can just fall asleep listening to me and relax.

Oh blimey, that was nice. That felt ever so comfortable. So I'm gonna go.

My intention is to return again tomorrow with another recording and just try and keep this up because I get, I get so carried away with other stuff, research or working on the YouTube videos and or whatever it might be. And I guess I can be perhaps a bit too focused at times. I'll tell you a story of Vinnie.

He hasn't got, the only time he gets focused is if he gets a scent. You know, if he smells something. I don't mean if someone gives a perfume.

If he gets a scent or something like that, that's it, he's focused. But yesterday he was doing a poo in the park and a dog came across like, he said it was the other dog was on his lead. Vinnie was on his lead and straight away he looked over and he ran.

The poo hadn't even left his bum and he's running towards the dog and he turned around and I had to dodge the... Anyway, I had to get out of the way. It's like nothing can keep his attention. If there's another dog there, he just has to go.

His recall is almost, it's really not great. I'm trying to train him, I really am. I'm very interested at the moment in behaviorism, behavior, behavioralism, behaviorism, the psychology, you know, the old Pavlov, Watson and BF Skinner.

I've been listening to a lot of BF Skinner's lectures and talks and interviews the last few days. So I'm getting, I already knew a bit about it, but I'm getting more, this month is going to be my behaviorism month. I'm going to study it.

And I thought, maybe I'll try and look and see if I can train Vinnie myself, you know, using some of those techniques, because let's face it, a lot of it was used, well, pretty much, okay, not all of it, but a lot of it, a lot of those techniques were used on animals first, like training the dog to, you know, salivate at the sound of a bell by first of all, feeding it every time he did the bell and then eventually not feeding it.

He did a bell, didn't feed it, but it still salivated. And it's that kind of thing.

So, and rats in a maze and all kinds of things like that, that they did. So I'm, I'm very interested in that. So I've, I want to read and listen.

I'm reading, I listened to some audio books on Audible, a couple of BF Skinner's books. But I also want to Pavlov. I don't know Pavlov was a bit too long ago, I think Pavlov, Pavlov, Pavlov, Pavlov.

Why would Pavlov, oh Pavlov, Pavlov, not Pavlov. So he was, no, there might be some stuff online. He passed away in 1936.

So chances are, there's not going to be a lot of, there'll be books, I know there's books, Pavlovian conditioning and stuff like that. But I don't know in a sense of if there's any audios of him. I mean, there were audios available in those days, wasn't there? So we'll see.

I'll see what I can find. I might have to just settle for books and audio books about him, and about his studies and his things that he did, his experiments, just so I can, you know, get a get an idea of what he did. I do kind of know.

I think I've read, I think I read at least one or two books about him in the past. Can't remember. I think I have.

And then you got Watson. He was a lot. I think he was a lot.

He was one of the first psychologists, I think. I think. So Pavlov, Watson, Skinner and Behaviorism.

Watson. Oh, no, blimey. He was 1878 to 1958.

So he, John B. Watson, he was one, I think he's one of the first, classed as one of the first psychologists. But I don't know, because Froude was late, yeah, 1890s or something, wasn't he, when he was sort of doing psychotherapy? Or early 1900, 1903, 1905, 10, whatever. But, but I don't think he classed himself as a psychologist.

It was psychiatry. I'm a bit confused. I've confused myself now.

It doesn't take much. So that's it. I'm gonna go.

Pavlov, Watson, Skinner and Behaviorism. Who else is a Thorndyke? Thorndyke. I'm not sure if I know Thorndyke.

Do I know? I don't know him, but let's have a look. What is behaviorism? This is from alcation.com. Behaviorism theory summarizes, no surmises, surmises that human and animal behavior can only be explained by conditioning. Behaviorists believe that psychology should focus on measurable and observable physical behaviors and how changes in the external environment can manipulate these behaviors.

There is no room in behaviorist theory for thoughts or emotions in contrast to the other theories of psychology. That's what I find interesting because I've come from a very thinking and thoughts, emotions perspective, especially in my degree, person-centered counseling. You couldn't be more focused on internal processes.

That's kind of what it's about in a way, or it might not be. I think it's been a while. Subjective experience.

Anyway, I was listening to this interview with BF Skinner and he said that he, it was all behavior. Everything he was doing, including thinking, comes from learned behavior. And it was interesting to hear it because he was probably, arguably a genius.

And yeah, who was it who won the Skinner? Oh, apparently it was Einstein. Einstein said to the Nobel prize board, this is what I saw online. They said, I don't bother giving BF Skinner a Nobel prize.

He's just full of rubbish. He doesn't deserve it. He's not doing anything.

It's not real. It's all made up stuff. Seriously.

That's what I read. Might not be true. Pavlov.

I thought Pavlov won the Nobel prize. I think he did. He won the Nobel prize, but for some reason it's not got it here.

Let me see if it's real, if I've got it right. Okay. Ready? Right.

Pavlov Nobel prize. See if my memory, Ivan Petrovich Pavlov, Russian, September the 14th, 1849, born was a Russian physiologist, psychologist, and physician. He was awarded the Nobel prize in physiology or medicine in 1904 for research pertaining to the digestive system.

See, which is probably why he's one of the most famous because William Nobel prize kind of puts you on the, who won, who won two Nobel prizes? It was a lady. Who won two Nobel prizes? It says here, if, if receiving a Nobel prize is the highest recognition for a scientist being awarded twice by the Swedish Academy of sciences is an extraordinary fact. It's an extraordinary fact that so far only, that doesn't make sense as a extraordinary accomplishment.

Only four people can boast. Okay. It does make sense.

Frederick Sanger, Linus Pauling, John Bardeen and Mary Currie. Now, Mary Currie was the, if I'm right, without going further than this, forget America. I mean, she was, the fact that she even was eligible to win one, being a female back then was phenomenal.

It was like, I don't know, I'm not going to say I wasn't alive then, but it was just unheard of. I mean, even going to university, nevermind being a, I don't know, she was a professor or whatever. Ah, but, um, I'm pretty sure from my memory that at least one of them people, again, not Mary Currie, but one of those people maybe more was from the x-ray, discovered x-rays.

Let's see if I got it right. Let's have a look. The five scientists, it says only four.

Now it's saying five scientists. Oh, okay. Well, okay.

Makes no difference to me. Okay. American Barry Shatner, someone who became only the fifth.

Oh, okay. So this is a new person just got to Mary Currie for the research into spontaneous radiation and radioactivity. Okay.

Linus Pauling, doses of Fitmin. It posited that huge doses of Fitmin D can ward off the common cold. He's the only person to have been awarded two unshared.

Huge doses, huge doses of Fitmin C can ward off the common cold. Wow. 1954, 1962.

Okay. Now that's not why. That wasn't why he won the award.

He won the first one for his work in molecular chemistry, particularly in the field of proteins and antibodies. And his second one came eight years later in 1962, in recognition for his campaigning against nuclear testing. This is from phys, phys.org. John Bardeen.

He shared it with someone else twice. He picked up his, oh, I was electronics. Okay, good.

Oh, no, got it wrong. I got it wrong. Dubbed the father of genomics was the only person to have any kind of DNA.

I was about DNA. Okay, so I need to know before I go, I just need to know this. Did inventor of not incense, incest, radium, x-ray, x-ray machine win Nobel Prize.

Yes. Many honors were bestowed upon him. Streets were named after him.

And the Ronteg, Rontgen, and Rontgen received countless honorary doctorates and prizes, including the Nobel Prize for physics in 1901 for his discovery of the remarkable rays. Oh, cool. So it was Wilhelm Wilhelm Wilhelm Conrad Rontgen.

I probably pronounced it wrongly. I do apologize. x-rays were discovered in 1895 by Wilhelm Rontgen, who received the first Nobel Prize in physics 1901.

Who really invented x-ray? Wilhelm Conrad Rontgen. Why are they asking who won the Nobel Prize for x-rays in 1901? Well, it wasn't 1901, was it? It was 1901. Wilhelm Rontgen von Bonnray, University of Munich, which his name is linked to full-time discovery of the so-called Rontgen rays, as he himself called them x-rays.

I'm kind of glad they're called x-rays rather than Wilhelm. Well, I can't Rontgen x-rays. I didn't know his name.

And you think, I know a little bit about him. I do. I actually know quite a fair bit about him.

And this is something that just really surprised me when I found out. This is ages, years ago. And it's probably not very... He... I had to put this... Where is it? Let's have a look.

He basically, you know, he did so good. He's changed the world, really. Yeah.

Anyway, I'm not going to go into... There was something I saw. It's not on there, but it just... Apparently, they did too many x-rays. And some of the new people that started using x-rays now are continuously x-raying themselves.

A bit too much, which you can't be doing, really. Education, you know, like not thousands and thousands of times. He was born to Frederick Conrad Rontgen, German merchant and cloth.

Nobel Prize, fields of physics, x-ray, astronomy. Institutions, Strasbourg, Hohenheim, Gizen, Wurzburg, Munich, Munich. Doctoral students, Soman Matsch, Abraham Hall, Herms Wagner, Rudolf Landberg.

Oh, Rudolf! Blimey, I know this name from wherever. Medical first x-ray by Wilhelm Rontgen of his wife, Anna Bertha, Ludwig's hand. Wow.

The very first medical x-ray in the world. In the world. Blimey.

And I do believe that is it. That's all I've got. Sorry, there's nothing else.

So, thank you for listening. Remember to be kind to yourself because you deserve to be happy. Remember to be gentle with yourself.

It's nice. Be gentle. Give it a try.

If it's something you don't normally do, just give it a try. Just take it easy on yourself. Be a bit more kinder.

A bit more fluffy, maybe. Lots of love. Bye.
