English Unleashed: Techniques for Lasting Vocabulary Memory · SpeakSmart English

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: You know it is. It's really incredible to think about
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: the sheer volume of information you process on any given day.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: Oh, absolutely, it's massive, right.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: I mean, you read articles, you listen to conversations, you
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: scroll through these endless feeds of text, and yet if
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: I asked you to recount the exact words you encountered,
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: even just like an hour ago, your mind would probably
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: draw a complete blank.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you'd come up empty, most people would, exactly.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: So today's exploration is really about hacking that mechanical failure
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: in your brain. We are unpacking this specific methodology that's
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: designed to master the retention of new information.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: Right, taking those fleeting, forgettable concepts and turning them into
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: permanent mental architecture.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: Yes, exactly. And our source material today focuses specifically on
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: English vocabulary acquisition. But and this is key, the underlying
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: mechanics apply to pretty much everything, from you know, mastering
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: a new programming language to just remembering the name of
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: the person you met at a party. It's all the
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: same biological hardware.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: The gap between what we consume and what we actually
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: retain is honestly one of the most frustrating aspects of
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: the modern human experience. Oh, for sure, we have access
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: to more data than any generation in history, but our brains,
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: our biological hardware, hasn't received an upgrade in well hundreds
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: of thousands of years.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: We're basically running next generation software on a very ancient
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: operating system.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: That is a perfect way to put it. It's a
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: highly selective operating system.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: I've actually been thinking about how to visualize that, that
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: selective operating system. Yeah, picture your brain as the most exclusive,
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: high end nightclub in the city.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: Okay, I like where this is going.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: Right at the velvet rope, there is this incredibly strict,
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: totally uncompromising VIP bouncer. So a new piece of information,
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: let's say, a new vocabulary word or a complex work concept.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: It walks up to the velvet rope all by itself,
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: just totally alone, just alone. The bouncer looks at it,
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: doesn't recognize it. It sees that it has no connections,
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: no friends on the inside, and just says, nope, you
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: are not on the list. Get lost.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the information is turned away instantly, it's just forgotten.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: That bouncer is essentially your hippocampus. Yeah, it acts as
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: the gateway between your short term processing and your long
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: term storage.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Wow. Okay, the hippocampus is the bouncer, right, But what's.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: Crucial to understand here is that the bouncer isn't turning
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: information away out of malice. I mean, the brain is
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: this highly efficient machine designed primarily to conserve energy.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: So it's protecting you in a way exactly.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: It intentionally discards what it deems irrelevant just to keep
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: you functioning. If it kept everything, you'd overload.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: But if that same piece of information walks up to
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: the velvet rope and it has like an entourage, if
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: it comes surrounded by real world context, emotional weight, maybe
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: a compelling backstory or visual imagery, the bouncer recognizes the value.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: The bouncer says, oh you are with them, come on in.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: That's spot on. When you present a robust neural network
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: of associations, you completely bypass that filtering mechanism. And what's
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: particularly compelling about the material we're reviewing today is how
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: it addresses the emotional fallout of that bouncer turning information away.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: The guilt, right, the guilt. The text explicitly states that
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: if you forget things quickly, it is not because you
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: are lazy.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Which completely flies in the face of how most of
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: us were raised. I mean, we have this pervasive cultural
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: myth of the lazy learner, or the idea that some
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: people just naturally have a quote unquote bad memory.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: It is such a damaging myth. Framing forgetting as a
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: moral failing or a symptom of a poor work ethic
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: completely misunderstands human neurobiology.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: It's not a character flaw, No, not at all.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: Forgetting is a mechanical issue. Your brain simply hasn't processed
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: the information deeply enough to warrant the caloric expenditure required
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: to build a new permanent.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: Synapse caloric expenditure, so it literally costs physical energy to
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: remember something exactly.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: It's a feature of your biology. Yeah, not a bug
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: in your character.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: That reframing is a massive relief for a lot of people,
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: I think, but it leads to a foundational concept we
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: really need to dissect from the source material. They set
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: up this analogy. Words are data points you only see once.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: Are like strangers, right, strangers on the street.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and your brain is hardwired to forget strangers quickly.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: But words you use here see and connect with those
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: become your friends.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: If you connect this back to evolutionary biology. It makes
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: perfect sense. Think about walking through a dense ancient forest,
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: or even just walking down a busy city street today.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: You pass hundreds of strangers.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: Thousands maybe depending on where you live.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: Exactly. If your brain attempted to encode and store the
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: facial features, the clothing, the height of every single stranger
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: you walk past, your cognitive load would max out within minutes.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: You just short circuit, you really would. Yeah. The brain
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: aggressively deletes the cash it has to, so when you
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: look at a new piece of data on a page
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: for the first time, to your brain, that is just
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: a stranger on the street.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: It hasn't no context, none.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: Without any relational hooks, the brain basically guarantees failure. It
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: drops the data to save space for things that actually
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: matter for your survival or your social functioning.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: I understand the evolutionary necessity of that, I really do,
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: but it brings up this massive contradiction. If our brains
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: are biologically hardwired to reject isolated strangers, why on earth
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: has the traditional education systems spent the last one hundred
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: years forcing us to memorize long, disconnected lists of vocabulary words.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: Oh, the classic vocab list right.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: Think about high school language classes or even corporate compliance training.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Today we are handed a glossary of thirty random terms
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: and tested on our ability to do the exact thing
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: our brains are biologically built to avoid doing.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: It's totally backwards, and the answer to why we do
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: it lies in the origins of industrial era educational design.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: Oh really yeah.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: Traditional methods dating back to the late nineteenth and early
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: twentieth centuries were built around standardized testing and easily quantifiable metrics.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: So it was just about what was easy to grade.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: Precisely, a list of thirty isolated words is incredibly easy
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: to grade. A teacher can quickly market right or wrong.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: But those traditional methods, they just completely ignore how the
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: brain categorizes.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: Value because there's no entourage exactly.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: For a piece of information to be deemed valuable enough
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: to cross that velvet rope and enter long term storage,
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: it needs a social network. It needs to be integrated
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: into your existing knowledge base.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: So staring at a list of strangers is essentially a waste.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: Of time pretty much.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: How do we actually introduce ourselves properly to new information?
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: Then the methodology from our source mandates the complete.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: Death of the list, the list is dead.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: The central rule here is that context is king. You
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: must never learn a word alone, never just read it
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: one time, and absolutely abandon the static written list.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: Right. The alternative is to put the word into a
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: scenario that reflects how people actually operate in the real world.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: And this shifts the learning process. Right. You mentioned this earlier,
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: the shift from semantic memory to episodic memory.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: Yes, Semantic memory is your brain's database of abstract facts,
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: like knowing that the capital of France's Paris, or knowing
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: the dictionary definition of the word charge, just raw data exactly.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: Episodic memory, on the other hand, is your memory of experience,
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: as and events. The brain's episodic memory system is far
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: more robust because it is tied to time, place, and
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: personal experience.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: Okay, let's look at how the source material actually illustrates
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: this shift, because they have some great examples. They use
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: the word charge specifically in the context of putting electricity
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: into a device, a.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: Very modern, very necessary word.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: Definitely, and they actively mock the old rote memorization method
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: just repeating charge, charge, charge over and over. Instead, they
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: build this progression of sentences. The first one establishes utility.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: I need to charge my Phone's good, it's practical, right,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: But then they expanded into an episode, I need to
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: charge my phone before I leave the house.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: Notice what happens there in the brain. The word charge
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: is no longer a floating abstraction. It is now tied
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: to a common spatial transition.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: Moving from inside to outside.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: Right, moving from the inside of a house to the
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: outside world. And it's also tied to the mild anxiety
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: of losing connection.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's so true, the battery anxiety. Then they pivot
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: to a past tense narrative, I couldn't call you my phone.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: Wasn't charged, introducing a consequence yes.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: And finally a real world interaction. Excuse me, is there
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: a place to charge my phone?
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: Here?
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: They call this real living English.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: Structurally, the word charge has been given a job. In
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: that final sentence, you're not just learning a verb. You
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: are learning a vital social transaction. You're solving a problem exactly,
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: you are navigating an environment, initiating a polite request with
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: a stranger, and solving a problem. The brain latches onto
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: the social necessity of finding a power outlet, and the
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: word charge simply hitches a ride on that necessary survival mechanism.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: It is the vehicle for solving a problem. Another example
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: they break down is the word delay, meaning something happens
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: later than expected.
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: Another word packed with potential emotion.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: Oh definitely. They give three distinct, highly relatable scenarios. First,
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: airport delays. There was a delay at the airport. Second,
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: weather impacts. The train was delayed because of the snow.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: Third professional consequences. Sorry for the delay, my meeting ran late.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: By providing three entirely different contexts, you are creating a
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: multi dimensional footprint in the neural.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: Network, like giving the bouncer three different ID cards.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. You are simulating the frustration of sitting at
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: an airport gate, the physical sensation of the chill while
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: waiting for a snowed in train, and the specific professional
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: anxiety of sending an apology email to a colleague.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: You are building multiple pathways to the exact same piece
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: of information.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: Right If one pathway fails, the brain just takes another route.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: To find the word the professional anxiety one is such
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: a poe and anchor. They take this even further with
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: the word borrow, meaning taking something short term to return later.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: The micro stories they embed here are essentially a three
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: act play.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: I love this part of the material.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: It's so good. Act one is mundane. Can I borrow
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: your pen? Act two scales it up to an institutional level.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: I borrow a book from the library. But Act three
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: introduces actual, real conflict. He borrowed my bike and didn't
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: return it.
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: Conflict is an exceptional memory and answer.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: Really, why is that?
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: Well? When you introduce the concept of someone effectively stealing
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: a bike under the guise of borrowing it, you activate
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: the brain's threat detection and emotional processing centers.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: The brain is like, wait a minute, I've been wronged exactly.
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: The brain does not simply store the abstract concept of
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: temporary possession. It stores the betrayal. It stores the violation
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: of a social contract.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: You will never forget the word borrow if you are
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: actively mad at the imaginary friend who stole your bike.
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: You feel it in your gut.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: You really do. The last example they provide for context
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: focuses heavily on spatial awareness. The word is messy. They
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: construct these visual spaces. My desk is messy, then her
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: looks messy today, and finally the kitchen was messy after
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: the party.
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: Each sentence forces the brain to construct a mental diorama.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: A diorama I like that you physically envision the clutter
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: on the desk, the tangled hair, the sticky floors, and
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: the piled cups. You are engaging the brains spatial navigation
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: systems to anchor the vocabulary.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: To put this all into practice, the material proposes a
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: surprisingly narrow daily challenge. They suggest choosing just one word
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: per day. Just one, not ten, not twenty, just one.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: But you have to build three full, distinct sentences with it.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: You have to speak them out loud, use them in
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: real conversations, text them, repeat them in the morning, and
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: repeat them in the evening.
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: That limitation, just focusing on one word is a brilliant constraint.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: It seems almost too easy, though it.
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: Prevents cognitive overload, But the requirement to deploy it across
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: multiple mediums forces multimodal learning.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: Multimodal meaning using different senses.
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: Right, You engage motor skills by typing or writing, vocal
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: cords by speaking, auditory processing by hearing yourself, and social
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: cognition by texting it. By the end of the day,
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: that single piece of data is wired into several different
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: cortical areas.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: But and this is a big butt, constructing these great
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: multimodal sentences won't save you. If those sentences just sit
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: closed up in.
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: A notebook, no, they'll still die in there.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: You can do the daily challenge perfectly, but if you
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: don't time it right, the biological hardware will still reject it.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: The brain operates on a remarkably tight, almost unforgiving schedule.
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: The window of opportunity for consolidation is incredibly narrow.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: This brings us to the use it or Lose it
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: protocol from the source. The mandate is that if you
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: want to retain new information, you need to use it quickly,
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: defined specifically as within twenty four hours.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: The clock is ticking the second you learn it.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: The brain's filtering system is described almost as if it
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: has a voice of its own. Here, it literally determines
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: that if a word isn't used soon, it must not
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: be important, and it just throws it away.
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: This phenomenon was quantified back in the late nineteenth century
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: by a psychologist. He conducted extensive experiments on himself memorizing
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: lists of nonsense syllables to see how fast memory decays.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: Just memorizing garbage words to see what happens.
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: Exactly, and he discovered the forgetting curve. When you first
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: encounter new information, your retention is near one hundred.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: Percent because it's fresh, right.
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: But within just a few hours, if that information is
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: not accessed, retrieved, or utilized, the retention rate plummets dramatically,
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: often dropping below forty percent within the first day.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: Forty percent in one day. That's a massive drop. I
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: want to expand on how that mechanism actually works, because
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: throwing it away sounds a bit metaphorical. Think of your
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: short term memory as a very small, very expensive staging area.
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: In a warehouse, Okay, a warehouse.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: Every day, tons of new boxes, the articles you read,
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: the conversations you have, the vocabulary you study, they are
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: unloaded into this staging area. But space is strictly limited, right.
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: Real estate is expensive.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: If a box just sits there and no one comes
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: to claim it, no one opens it, no one uses
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: the contents, the warehouse manager comes through at the end
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: of the day and says, this must be junk. Toss it.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: We need the floor space for tomorrow's deliveries.
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: The biological equivalent of that warehouse manager is the synaptic
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: pruning process that happens primarily while you sleep.
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: While you sleep, so that's why sleep is so crucial.
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: Absolutely throughout the day, as you learn, temporary connections are
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: formed in the hippocampus, but during deep sleep, the brain
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: actively evaluates those connections.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: It's doing an inventory check.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: Yes, if a pathway hasn't been fired repeatedly, if you
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: haven't retrieved that information, the brain literally prunes the synaptic
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: connection to conserve resources. It physically dismantles the bridge to
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: that memory.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: So the act of using the word within twenty four
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: hours is essentially you walking into that warehouse, grabbing the box,
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: opening it up, and signaling to the manager, Hey, I
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: am actively using this. Move this from the temporary staging
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: area to the permanent reinforced steel shelves in the back.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: Precisely, you are signaling to your neurological infrastructure that this
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: specific piece of data has immediate practical utility in your environment.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: You're proving it's worth You are.
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: Telling the brain to invest the metabolic energy required to
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: synthesize new proteins and build a permanent neural pathway in
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: the neocortex.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: Here is the practical hurdle, though, Let's say I am
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: studying a new language or trying to master the terminology
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: for a new software platform at work. I am sitting
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: alone in my apartment.
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: Very common scenario, right.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: I don't have a native speaker to talk to. I
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: don't have a meeting scheduled where I can casually drop
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: this new terminology. How do I use the information if
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: there is no organic situation that demands it.
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: This is where we have to separate the concept of
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: communication from the concept of motor output.
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: What's the difference.
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: Well, you do not need a conversational partner to trigger
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: the consolidation process. The solutions are entirely self contained. You
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: can say the word out loud to yourself, just to
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: the empty room, just to the room. You can physically
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: write it with a pen on paper. You can send
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: a message to a friend, or simply open the voice
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: memo app on your device and speak the sentence into it.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: So the audience is irrelevant. The output itself is what matters.
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: The physiological act of production is what matters. When you
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: read a word silently, you are mostly engaging sensory input areas.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: You're just taking it in, right, But.
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: When you move your mouth tongue and vocal cords to
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: articulate it, or when you coordinate the fine motor skills
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: in your hand to write it, you are forcing the
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: brain to generate motor output. You are firing a completely
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: different set of neurons.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: And that proves you need it.
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: Firing those motor pathways within that critical twenty four hour
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: window is the undeniable signal to the warehouse manager that
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: the asset is being deployed.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: Okay, so we establish the context to get past the
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: stranger phase, and we establish the urgency to beat the
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: warehouse manager. But relying solely on context and repetition is
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: still fighting an uphill battle against the bouncer at the club.
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: It is. It's still a mechanical approach.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: To truly lock a piece of information into the permanent vault,
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: we have to bypass logic entirely. We have to appeal
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: to the bouncer's emotions.
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: We shift from mechanical processing to emotional encoding.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: The methodology insists on making the information personal. We have
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: to connect the data to our own lives, our own memories,
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: and our own feelings.
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: It has to be yours.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: They use this incredibly clear metaphor here a word is
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: like a photograph. If it is a photo of a
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: stranger you found on the ground, you might look at
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: it for a second, but you will eventually throw it away.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: Right it means nothing to you.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: But if it is a photo of your family, you
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: keep it forever. The goal is to make these new
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: pieces of data look like your family portraits.
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: The neuro anatomy behind that metado is well, it's fascinating.
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: The amigdala, which is the primary emotional processing center of
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: the brain, the part that governs fear, pleasure, and emotional valance,
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: is situated physically right next to the hippocampus.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: The bouncer and the emotion center are neighbors.
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: They are intricately connected. When an experience carries significant emotional weight,
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: the amigdal of fires and essentially tags the information for
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: the hippo campus.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: It gives it a VIP pass.
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: It highlights the data in neon colors, signaling that this
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: memory is vital for survival or well being and must
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: be prioritized for long term storage.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: Let's break down how to artificially apply that neon highlighter.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: They start with the word nervous, meaning worried or afraid,
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: before something important. The baseline sentence is generic, I felt
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: nervous before my job interview. That provides context, sure, but
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: it lacks the neon tag. So they force a perspective shift.
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: How So, they.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: Instruct the learner to look inward and ask when they
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: specifically last that emotion. The result is a highly vulnerable alternative,
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: I get nervous when I speak in English.
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: That is a profound structural shift.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: It really is.
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: Moving from a hypothetical, generalized job interview to the immediate,
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: very real anxiety the learner is experiencing right at that moment.
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: Claims total ownership of the concept. The word nervous isn't
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: an external academic definition anymore. It becomes the label for
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: the physiological knot in their stomach.
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: You are literally weaponizing your own current anxiety to build
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: a memory.
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: It's brilliant.
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: They apply the same technique to the word lonely. They
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: contrast a detached third person observation she felt lonely in
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: the new city with an intensely personal first person confession,
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: I sometimes feel lonely when no one is around.
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: That's heavy.
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: The source poses a direct question is that true for you?
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: And it follows up with a critical distinction. If yes,
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: the word is real, your brain understands it, not just
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: remembers it.
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: That distinction between remembering and understanding is the holy grail
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: of cognitive acquisition.
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: It feels like a big jump from just memorizing.
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: Rope memory is incredibly fragile. True understanding, anchored by emotional
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: resonance is highly durable. When you connect a new piece
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: of information to a pre existing emotional state, you are
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: grafting the new data onto an emotional root system that
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: has been growing inside you for your entire life.
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: So you don't have to start from scratch.
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: The brain doesn't have to build the pathway from scratch.
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: It just attaches the new data to a super highway
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: that already exists.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: I have to push back on this a little bit, though.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: I understand how you can graft a word like lonely
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: or nervous onto an emotional root system. Those are heavy words.
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: But what happens when the information is inherently devoid of emotion.
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: Give me an example.
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: Think about learning the vocabulary of an office space desk, stapler,
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: invoice spreadsheet. I don't weep over my desk, I don't
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: feel a deep sense of childhood nostalgia when I process
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: an invoice. If the Amiga LA only highlights things with
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: emotional weight, how do we anchor data that is aggressively boring.
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: It is a valid critique, and it is a hurdle
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: in any technical learning environment.
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: Not everything is poetry exactly, So what do we do.
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: When profound emotion is not easily accessible? The brain relies
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: on its other favorite, highly efficient encoding tool, high definition
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: visual imagery visuals. Yes, the human brain is fundamentally a
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: visual processing engine.
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: Which leads us directly into the visualization technique from the source.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: The methodology dictates that we must turn every single piece
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: of vocabulary into a little movie playing in our minds.
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: Our visual processing systems are ancient. They've been evolving for
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: millions of years to help us navigate predators, find food,
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: and understand.
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: Terrain survival stuff.
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: Right. Our ability to process written language, by contrast, is
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: a very recent evolutionary hack, only a few thousand years old.
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: The brain heavily prioritizes the ancient visual system over the
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: recent text system.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: They make a compelling point to prove this. Consider the
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: fact that you can perfectly recall the details of a
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: photograph you saw five years ago. You know what people
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: were wearing the lighting, but you will completely forget a
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: sentence you read just five minutes ago.
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: Text requires intense cognitive decoding. You have to look at
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: the symbols on the page, translate those symbols into phonetic sounds,
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: translate those sounds into mental concepts, and then assemble those
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: concepts into a coherent thought.
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: It's exhausting for the brain.
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: A picture bypasses the majority of that decoding process and
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: delivers the conceptual meaning almost instantaneously.
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: To leverage this, they walk through exactly how to build
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: one of these mental movies, using the word climb, meaning
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: to go up.
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: Okay, let's hear the movie.
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: The baseline sentence is I want to climb that mountain.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: But they don't let you just read it. They instruct
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: you to stop, close your eyes and construct the scenes
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: step by step. Building this set right, Imagine the sheer
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: size of the mountain. Picture yourself holding a heavy textured backpack.
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: Feel the weight and stiffess of thick boots on your feet.
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: Visualize yourself actively walking up the uneven dirt path.
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: You are essentially taking on the role of a film
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: director inside your own prefrontal cortex. You are setting the
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: physical scene, casting yourself as the lead actor, arranging the
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: wardrobe with the boots and backpack, and calling action on
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: the specific movement of the in clime.
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: And they don't stop at one movie. They instantly demand
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: a second, entirely different scene. The child climbed the tree.
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: Quickly the whole new production.
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: Now you have to visualize a completely different kinetic scenario,
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: a kid scrambling up rough bart grabbing thin branches. You're
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: no longer just learning the phonetic sound of climb. You
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: are visually experiencing the physics of the action.
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: This connects deeply to a concept known as embodied cognition.
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: Embodied cognition, what's that?
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: It is the understanding that our minds are not entirely
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: isolated from our physical bodies. Our cognitive processes are deeply
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: rooted in our bodies physical interactions with the world.
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: Yes, and that is exactly why the physical tangible actions
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: recommended here are so vital. It isn't just about closing
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: your eyes. You have to move, They suggest physically drawing
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: the scene in a notebook, even if your artistic skills
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: are terrible. The physical act of sketching a jagged line
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: for a mountain and a stick figure moving up it
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: anchors the concept.
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: The movement of the pen matters.
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: They also suggest finding a hyper specific photo online, but
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: the absolute best technique they recommend is to act it
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: out with your own hands. Literally, use your hands to
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: mimic the handover hand motion of climbing while you physically
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: vocalize the word.
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: When you engage your motor cortex by mimicking the physical action,
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: you are creating yet another robust neural pathway back to
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: the target data.
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: So many pathways.
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: The visual cortex is firing, the motor cortex is firing,
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: the auditory cortex is firing. As the synthesis states, the
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: more feeling you use, the deeper the word goes into
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: your brain.
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: Seeing the concept and physically feeling the motion of the
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: concept makes the data undeniable to the bouncer at the
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: IT rope. The bouncer sees a fully formed multisensory entity.
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: The bouncer has to let it in. It's too important.
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: So we have successfully anchored individual pieces of information. We
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: have given the data context. We have deployed it within
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: the twenty four hour window. We have attached emotional weight,
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: and we have filmed vivid mental movies.
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: If you do all that, you will remember the word.
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: But if the ultimate goal is actual fluency, if you
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: want to achieve mass retention of a large volume of
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: complex information, we have to fundamentally change the structural perspective,
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: or to zoom out. We have to stop treating data
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: points as individuals and start treating them as an interconnected ecosystem.
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: This is the inflection point where the methodology scales up
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: from retaining a single piece of isolated data to building
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: a comprehensive, functional knowledge base.
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: They introduce what they call the final game changer tip.
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: You must unequivocally stop learning random words.
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: Randomness is the enemy of memory.
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: The analogy they use is painfully accurate. Grabbing a random
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: word from one topic and another random word from a
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: completely different topic is like trying to build a jigsaw
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: puzzle using pieces taken from five different boxes.
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: The pieces will never ever fit together. You just end
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: up with a chaotic, unmanageable mess of disconnected cardboard.
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: Your brain is fundamentally a pattern recognition machine. It craves order,
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: It actively seeks out categories, meaningful groups, and above all else,
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: it relies on narratives.
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: Narratives are how we make sense of the world.
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: When data points are connected by a central theme, they
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: mutually reinforce each other.
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: Let's analyze the specific narrative structure they use to prove
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: this point.
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: Because it's very clever, the weather story.
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: Yes, they construct a weather based causal loop. They introduce
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: three distinct concepts. First, cloudy a sky full of clouds,
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: indicating potential rain. Second breeze a light soft wind. Third
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: storm heavy rain, wind, and thunder.
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: Okay, three words.
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: If a student attempts to learn those three words on
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: three different days using three different flashcards, they remain separate,
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: vulnerable puzzle pieces.
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: The warehouse manager might just throw one out exactly.
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: But they chain them together into a chronological, escalating narrative.
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: It was cloudy, then the breeze stopped, a big storm came,
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: there was lightning and loud thunder.
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: It's a simple sentence, but it flows so well.
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: It is a simple sentence yet neurologically profound. By chaining
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: the concepts chronologically, the recall of one single word automatically
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: triggers the activation of the next.
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: It's a domino effect.
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: The cloudy sky sets the atmospheric tension. The sudden stopping
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: of the breeze provides the suspense. The storm is the
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: inevitable climax. You have created a causal loop where each
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: piece of information acts as the trigger mechanism for the
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: next piece of information.
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: I love the imagery used to describe this phenomenon. When
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: words are connected and a causal narrative like this, they
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: are like friends holding hands in your brain.
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: That's a great vision.
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: They are no longer stumbling around alone in the dark.
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: If you can manage to remember just one friend in
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: the group, you can pull the entire chain of friends
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: straight into the VIP section of the club.
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: It perfectly resolves the bouncer analogy, and interconnected entourage is
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: always granted entry faster than a solo guest.
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: So how do we apply this ecosystem approach to the
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: chaos of everyday life.
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: Well, you have to look around you.
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: The methodology suggests looking at your daily physical environments and
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: creating specialized mini stories for those specific locations. They suggest
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: building mental maps for the supermarket, the airport, the inside
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: of your bedroom, the process of going on a holiday,
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: or the specific environment of a job interview.
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: This heavily leverages spatial memory, which ties back to an
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: ancient mnemonic device known as the method of Losi or
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: the memory palace.
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: The memory palace Sherlock Holmes uses that, right, he does. Yeah, Yeah.
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: Think about the utility of building a supermarket category. You
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: aren't just learning the abstract word kart.
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: You're visualizing the whole.
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: You are linking the physical object cart to the spatial
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: concept of an aisle, to the human interaction with the cashier,
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: to the final result of a receipt. You are building
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: a mental map of a location you actually physically navigate.
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: And then what happens when you actually go to the store.
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: When you physically walk through the sliding doors of a supermarket,
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: the environment itself becomes the external trigger for that specific
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: cluster of vocabulary.
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: The environment cues the memory. It outsources the cognitive load
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: to the physical world around you. It's highly efficient to
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: summarize the core architecture of this entire methodology. Pieces of
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: information left in isolation are inherently forgettable. They are strangers
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: doomed to be pruned away while you.
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: Sleep, swept out by the warehouse manager.
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: But data points embedded in narratives pieces of information that
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: are lived, spoken, physically felt, and emotionally anchored every single day,
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: become a permanent, load bearing part of your mental architecture.
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: It represents a profound, necessary shift from the passive consumption
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: of data to the active, intentional construction of knowledge.
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: We have spent this time looking specifically at the mechanics
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: of English vocabulary acquisition, because that was the lens of
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: our source material. But as we wrap up our discussion today,
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: I want to ask you to zoom out and look
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: at the broader implications.
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: Okay, let's zoom out.
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: What happens when we take this exact same neurological framework
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: and apply it to the entirety of the information we
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: encounter in our lives.
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: That is where this methodology transcends language learning and becomes
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: a masterclass in professional and personal operating system.
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: How as it applies to everything.
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: Consider the sheer volume of complex concepts you are expected
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: to integrate at work. A new software protocol, a dense
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: financial regulation, a shifting organizational structure.
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: It's overwhelming.
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: What if we collectively stopped trying to memorize isolated bullet
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: points on a static slide deck. What if instead we
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: demanded that every new piece of corporate data be given
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: real world context.
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: Like giving it a narrative.
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: We could build causal narratives around how a new regulation
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: specifically affects a single named client. We could visualize the
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: physical workflow of a new software protocol.
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: Or apply it to the people we interact with.
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: Absolutely, think about the next time you are introduced to
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: someone at a networking event or a dinner party.
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: I am terrible with names.
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: Most people are because they treat the name like a
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: stranger on a list. Don't just hear their name and
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: let it float away. Immediately put their name into a
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: contextual sentence in your head. Ensure you use their name
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: aloud in conversation within that critical twenty four hour window.
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: Like saying it was great to meet you, Sarah before
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: you leave.
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: Exactly, anchor their face to an emotion, or build a
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: vivid mental movie connecting their name to their profession. You
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: are no longer a passive vessel hoping information sticks. You
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: are empowering yourself to take total control over what enters
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: your long term storage and what is discarded.
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: You become the architect of your own memory.
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: You become the bouncer. You dictate who gets past the velvet.
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: We have covered a tremendous amount of ground today, exploring
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: everything from evolutionary cognitive load and synaptic pruning to mental
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: movies and causal ecosystems.
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: It's been a fascinating breakdown, it really has.
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: I want to sincerely thank you for staying with us
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: until the very end of this conversation. Your time, your focus,
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: and your curiosity are what make these explorations possible.
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: It has been an absolute pleasure to unpack these cognitive
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: mechanics with you. The real work begins now in how
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: you choose to introduce yourself to the next new piece
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: of information you encounter.
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: If you found value in how we deconstruct and connect
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: these concepts, please make sure to subscribe to the show
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: so you do not miss any of our future analyzes.
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: We have an endless amount of fascinating material left to
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: explore together until next time, keep building those connections, demand
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: an entourage for your data, and we bid you a
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: very warm and fond farewell.
