   “The education is yours. The ritual is theirs.”

   ------------------------------ Read or Listen … When I completed my bachelor’s degree, I chose not to walk. When I earned my master’s degree, I chose not to walk. Over the next three semesters, I will finish the final requirements for my doctoral degree, and my answer will remain exactly the same: I will gladly take the credentials I earned, but I will not participate in the graduation ceremony.For most people, graduation is just a harmless photo opportunity. But if you actually study the history, you realize these events are highly synchronized, ritualized ceremonies that directly mirror ancient systems of worship and institutional submission.We are told to blindly put on garments that were woven out of a dark mix of early religious systems, state authority, and provincial pre-Christian customs. The long black gowns, the heavy hoods, and the square mortarboard caps are not just “tradition”—they are a uniform. They trace directly back to monastic habits and the robes worn by judges and initiates in ancient Roman cults, designed to strip away your personal identity and mold you into an empty vessel for an institutional priesthood. Sociological studies and psychological research archived by the National Institutes of Health demonstrate that intense collective rituals invoke what experts call “agency reversal”—a state where the synchronized rhythm of a crowd takes over individual autonomy, effectively dissolving the self into a collective subconscious.I am far from the first to refuse this. Throughout history, independent thinkers have rejected academic regalia. In the late 1960s, a massive student movement swept through Germany under the famous banner, “Under the gowns—the dust of a thousand years,” completely driving traditional robes out of university councils because students refused to bow to the archaic, rigid hierarchy the garments represented. More recently, graduates at major institutions have boycotted ceremonies, physically throwing their caps and gowns away at the gates because they refused to let their hard work be used as theater for an institution they no longer respected.The truth is, graduation isn’t the only hidden ritual we are expected to blindly follow. Modern society is filled with ritualistic behaviors that people participate in daily without realizing their ancient, esoteric origins:* Wearing Black to Funerals: Originally practiced not as a sign of respect, but as a spiritual disguise or camouflage to make the living unrecognizable to wandering spirits and death.* Blowing Out Birthday Candles: Rooted in ancient fire magic and protective charms used to ward off evil spirits on days when a person was believed to be closest to the veil of death.* Standing for Institutional Anthems & Pomp: A psychological anchoring ritual designed to induce uncritical patriotism, conformity, and blind submission to the state.This slow-moving curtain of institutional control is fracturing before our very eyes—especially in the legal system. As documented in ongoing administrative overhauls, we are witnessing a massive shift where the historic, gatekeeping rights of law schools are systematically being challenged (Goldiner, 2026; Knauth, 2026). For nearly a century, the American Bar Association (ABA) operated as a dominant gatekeeper over legal education, utilizing centralized mandates to steer law school accreditation. But the system is fracturing. The U.S. Department of Education has officially recommended ending the ABA’s federal oversight authority over law schools altogether, with federal officials publicly characterizing the centralized accreditation monopoly as functioning akin to a restrictive cartel (Goldiner, 2026; Knauth, 2026). Simultaneously, states like Texas have bypassed centralized control entirely, officially shifting accreditation and licensing oversight directly to the state’s Supreme Court (Knauth, 2026).The veil is lifting. The globalized, ritualistic frameworks that dictated what a scholar must wear, think, and look like are being hollowed out. Institutions that claimed absolute authority are being exposed as gatekeepers of an outdated, artificial theater.This is precisely why critical thinking is the single most vital component you must add to any degree. Without deep, rigorous critical thinking, everything you are taught in a classroom fails to coincide with truth. Memorizing facts and regurgitating information to pass a test does not make a person educated—it makes them compliant. If we do not take critical thinking seriously and acknowledge it as an absolute requirement, our entire education is effectively nullified and hollowed out. A degree without discernment is just a piece of paper certifying that a person knows how to follow instructions, rather than how to seek the truth.True armor and true protection do not come from a polyester gown, a judicial uniform, or centralized institutional validation. My hard work, sleepless nights, and intellectual discipline are what earned my degrees. The physical piece of paper proves my competence; the ceremony is an unnecessary, spiritually compromised theater. I choose to honor my principles, my faith, and my convictions by stepping away from the ritual. I will celebrate my doctorate on my own terms, keeping my eyes open to the history beneath the surface. The Altar and the Vow: Traditional initiation ceremonies take place in private spaces centered around an altar. Initiates are required to swear lifelong oaths of allegiance and absolute secrecy to the organization, its symbols, and its members Symbolic Death and Rebirth: Many traditional Greek rituals utilize standard esoteric tropes: the initiate enters the process blindfolded (signifying spiritual darkness or ignorance) and undergoes a symbolic trial to cross "the burning sands". Emerging from the ritual, they are given a new identity—such as an "Omega Man" or "Que Dawg"—which represents the "death" of their former individual self and their rebirth into the corporate body of the brotherhood Esoteric Lexicons: The inclusion of specific passwords, secret handshakes, and strict protocols regarding who may speak or command during meetings mimics ancient mystery-school hierarchies------------------------------## ReferencesGoldiner, D.

   I PLEAD THE FIFTH - Fauci invoked the Fifth Amendment 111 times and refused to answer lawmakers' questions during Wednesday's Senate hearing

   I want to address the circulating memes and information regarding Fauci. If you feel uneasy about your medical decisions, focus your questions toward the government officials who authorized and profited from the vaccines. It is vital to evaluate how you receive this information and ensure your sources are reliable. Many people are now educating themselves to avoid future issues and rebuild their trust in healthcare. I provide free educational resources on my platform for anyone who wants to research deeper at their own pace. For those conducting their own inquiries into the events of the pandemic, my strongest recommendation is to remain cautious and analytical. Course my question(s) are - Was the Covid Vaccine push one of those popular highly debated narratives? How did you apply critical thinking when deciding whether to or not to take the vaccine? Think about it … Anthony Fauci literally wrote in his diary Covid was only a 0.2% fatality rate https://x.com/WallStreetApes/status/2082684747940241696?s=20 (https://x.com/WallStreetApes/status/2082684747940241696?s=20) 30 Years ago, Dr. Robert Willner accused Dr Anthony Fauci of GENOCIDE stating Anthony Fauci's AZT drug, which was heavily promoted and fast-tracked under Fauci's influence for AIDS treatment in the late 1980s, was highly toxic and actually killed many patients rather than helping them. https://x.com/LightOnLiberty/status/2081932405036765560?s=20 (https://x.com/LightOnLiberty/status/2081932405036765560?s=20) Never forget when Dr. Stella Immanuel was temporarily suspended from Twitter/locked out of her account after claiming she had successfully treated over 350 COVID patients using hydroxychloroquine in 2020 https://x.com/TONYxTWO/status/2082624308598149333?s=20 (https://x.com/TONYxTWO/status/2082624308598149333?s=20) Top oncologist Dr. Angus Dalgleish just ACCUSED Fauci and Gates of injecting the world with CANCER!! https://x.com/AmericaPulseNew/status/2082862970468708561?s=20 (https://x.com/AmericaPulseNew/status/2082862970468708561?s=20) Sen. Ted Cruz delivered one of the strongest speeches of today’s hearing, making serious allegations about Dr. Fauci’s public statements and actions during the pandemic. https://x.com/Midnight123wooo/status/2082871748433702912?s=20 (https://x.com/Midnight123wooo/status/2082871748433702912?s=20) “You've done more to harm science than anybody in my lifetime. And I hope you'll go home and write that in your diary.” https://x.com/FoxNews/status/2082475110137463001?s=20 (https://x.com/FoxNews/status/2082475110137463001?s=20) Dan Bongino expressed deep regret over getting the COVID-19 vaccine, calling it "the biggest mistake of my life when it comes to my health" during an August 2022 episode of his online show 6 Ft away 6 ft away 6 ft away … "This calls for wisdom. Let the one who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and his number is 666"… https://x.com/jjverdi/status/2083379768016109615?s=20 (https://x.com/jjverdi/status/2083379768016109615?s=20) Thanks for reading!

   PREPARING FOR DISSERTATION -

   Listen or Read - I like options … Welcome to the course. As I prepare for my inaugural dissertation course next semester, I wish to share some of my reflections prior to embarking on this academic journey. To begin with, I would like to highlight that my dissertation topic will be one that elicits considerable debate, as indicated in the coursework. I have taken a firm position against the practice of confining animals, chaining them, and parading them as pets. This stance will provide insight into the direction of my dissertation. I opted for a controversial subject because it is a discourse that warrants attention, particularly from the perspective of someone who understands the appeal of pet ownership, yet is also aware of the historical failures associated with this practice in the United States. I believe this may represent one of the significant challenges that God has set before us: the ability to recognize the humanity in beings deemed to possess lesser value than ourselves. This leads me to my second topic: my identity as a plant-based herbivore for the majority of my life. My choice to adopt a herbivorous diet was not solely based on the belief that consuming animals is detrimental to them, but rather because I recognized it as harmful to my own well-being. I understood that introducing dead matter into a living body would not yield favorable health outcomes, and my health has always been of paramount importance to me. My appreciation for health was cultivated through my experiences working with elderly patients, transitioning from a Certified Nursing Assistant to a prospective doctoral candidate in health sciences. I observed that despite the wealth of many of my clients, residing in exquisite homes from Darien, Connecticut, to Greenwich, Connecticut, if their health was compromised, it rendered their financial status inconsequential. As a young girl, I recall obtaining my certified nursing assistant certificate and being called to work in the affluent areas of Darien, Connecticut. Observing the residents, I noted the dichotomy of their lives; some appeared to be decaying while others thrived. I recognized that certain individuals possessed pleasant personalities, whereas others exhibited unpleasant traits. Additionally, I observed a range of physical conditions, from frailty to strength, which led me to aspire to be among those who were robust and intact. Consequently, I resolved to avoid consuming anything that was dead or not thriving. As I embark on this first dissertation course, numerous thoughts have emerged. This past semester has been seamless, largely due to my exceptional professor, who facilitates learning in a manner that acknowledges our aspirations to become health research doctors. I hope that some of you will consider pursuing higher education, or at the very least, find value in my journey and extract insights that resonate with you. My ambition has always been to be a professional student, a lifelong learner. I did not anticipate that this would evolve into a passion for learning, transforming me into a dedicated researcher and writer, constantly seeking information, connecting ideas, formulating hypotheses, and using myself and those around me as subjects to validate my thoughts on health and science. I must assert that I have proven myself to be quite the scientist, and I refuse to be silenced. I believe it is advantageous for me to utilize my dissertation as an opportunity to challenge longstanding paradigms, even if it seems daunting to attempt to recreate the Animal Kingdom. Nonetheless, I am confident that such transformations will occur in due time, but until then I am interested in your thoughts - I will be attaching some of the videos and some of the work that I’ve done regarding this anomaly to date. I love for you to look over it and be my professor and grade me according to it and give me ideas as to whether or not you think this would be a great dissertation and why or why not? Before I post the links a crucial note to my fellow Certified Nursing Assistants (CNA) …. https://criticalthinkingfreecourse.substack.com/p/trapping-and-enslaving-gods-creations?r=4zcqbv (https://criticalthinkingfreecourse.substack.com/p/trapping-and-enslaving-gods-creations?r=4zcqbv) https://criticalthinkingfreecourse.substack.com/p/dogs-and-cats-coexisting-closely?r=4zcqbv (https://criticalthinkingfreecourse.substack.com/p/dogs-and-cats-coexisting-closely?r=4zcqbv) https://substack.com/@whypublichealthmatters/note/p-197685994?utm_source=notes-share-action&r=4zcqbv (https://substack.com/@whypublichealthmatters/note/p-197685994?utm_source=notes-share-action&r=4zcqbv) https://substack.com/@whypublichealthmatters/note/c-251839931?utm_source=notes-share-action&r=4zcqbv (https://substack.com/@whypublichealthmatters/note/c-251839931?utm_source=notes-share-action&r=4zcqbv) https://substack.com/@criticalthinkingfreecourse/note/c-251591765?utm_source=notes-share-action&r=4zcqbv (https://substack.com/@criticalthinkingfreecourse/note/c-251591765?utm_source=notes-share-action&r=4zcqbv) https://substack.com/@whypublichealthmatters/note/p-195526020?utm_source=notes-share-action&r=4zcqbv (https://substack.com/@whypublichealthmatters/note/p-195526020?utm_source=notes-share-action&r=4zcqbv) Course your assignment for the semester is linked above - Thanks for reading!

   Was Daily Bathing - yet another lie …

   Welcome Aboard New Subscribers! He is exactly right! Your skin is covered in a complex ecosystem of beneficial bacteria, fungi, and viruses known as the skin microbiome. This invisible layer is a critical part of your immune system, actively protecting your body from harmful pathogens, controlling inflammation, and preventing infections. Mark Twain: "It's easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled." Dermatologists agree that daily full-body washing with soap is often unnecessary and can do more harm than good. At the crux of all this, as you point out, is the human skin microbiome. That is the collection of bacteria, viruses, fungi and microscopic creatures living on the exterior surface of our bodies. Research shows they contribute to the health of our skin and our bodies. And, yes, this is the same basic principle involved in the gut microbiome. It turns out that each person hosts a unique array of skin microbes, and that these core colonies are formed by the time we are toddlers. They feed on oils and other secretions emitted by the skin and the dead skin cells that slough off as new skin is formed. The skin is a tough environment. It’s not surprising that the soaps, chemicals and abrasives routinely used in bathing can have a direct and immediate effect on the skin microbiome, and perhaps have an adverse effect on its natural balance. Topic for the melanated …relying on the sun for moisture will NOT accelerate aging and increase cancer risk IN FACT for the melanated the sun is all we need for our skin health. Vitamin D: The sun stimulates Vitamin D production in the skin. However, while LOWER melanin levels require more sun exposure to produce Vitamin D, the sun was never used to moisturize lower melanated skin, however higher melanated skin is protected by the sun as it absorbs UV radiation and provides a natural SPF between 13 and 15. The sun has a profound, scientifically proven ability to heal and optimize both the mind and the body in those whom can endure in it naturally. Histological detection of melanin content using Fontana-Masson staining. Melanin content in the basal layers of the epidermis is substantially higher in Black skin compared to Asian or White skin, although the number of melanocytes is virtually identical in skins of different ethnicity. Topic for the un-melanated How Does Sunscreen Look Through a UV Camera White individuals have skin cancer rates roughly 20 to 30 times higher than Black individuals, primarily because abundant melanin in darker skin provides natural UV protection. However, Black patients experience significantly lower survival rates because skin cancers are often diagnosed at much later, more advanced stages. I have heard some melanated people also get burned however I just don’t happen to know any of them. I utilize the sun as my healing property and sun gaze daily in fact the sun will find me and patiently wait for my attention and once I am locked in it goes to work and begins a divine healing process. Sun gazing is rooted in ancient cultural and meditative traditions… I can’t advise you scientifically as a melanated being, but I will say this looks painful. The interaction between sun block on the water is worth mentioning … Research shows that thousands of tons of sunscreen wash into waterways every year, and several common chemical ingredients are toxic to aquatic life, contributing to coral bleaching and damaging marine ecosystems… Sunscreen use has increased in recent years, as sunscreen products minimize the damaging effects of solar radiation. Active ingredients called ultraviolet (UV) filters or UV agents, either organic or inorganic, responsible for defending skin tissue against harmful UV rays, are incorporated in sunscreen formulations. UV agents have a serious impact on many members of bio communities, and they are transferred to the environment either directly or indirectly. Many organic UV filters are found to be accumulated in marine environments because of high values of the octanol/water partition coefficient. However, due to the fact that UV agents are not stable in water, unwanted by-products may be formed. Experimental studies or field observations have shown that organic UV filters tend to bioaccumulate in various aquatic animals, such as corals, algae, arthropods, mollusks, echinoderms, marine vertebrates. This review was conducted in order to understand the effects of UV agents on both the environment and marine biota. In vivo and in vitro studies of UV filters show a wide range of adverse effects on the environment and exposed organisms. Coral bleaching receives considerable attention, but the scientific data identify potential toxicities of endocrine, neurologic, neoplastic and developmental pathways. However, more controlled environmental studies and long-term human use data are limited. Several jurisdictions have prohibited specific UV filters, but this does not adequately address the dichotomy of the benefits of photoprotection vs lack of eco-friendly, safe, and approved alternatives.

   How Nepotism Quietly Killed and Destroyed

   For too long, traditional systems have systematically excluded individuals based on color, class, or distinguishing characteristics, while favoring those who fit a conventional mold. Yet, those who stand out are often the ones who drive meaningful change within companies. They highlight what truly works and demonstrate that success comes naturally to those who have labored for it, earned it, and take pleasure in the process. Our motivations are not born from familial expectations; rather, we engage in these endeavors because they resonate deeply with us. It is in our nature to pursue the work we are drawn to, even when we lack substantial wealth. Many of us have utilized our limited resources to become the philanthropists we are today, and I take immense pride in being one of those individuals. My baby https://www.theconstantnorthernstar.com/ (https://www.theconstantnorthernstar.com/) Despite exceptional academic grades and significant milestones, it is often those with familial or marital connections who gain access to the most prestigious opportunities. Nepotism creates an inherently unjust, uneven playing field where success is determined by social circles rather than merit. I recall working in a university HR department and noticing that a disproportionate number of employee records shared the same surnames, revealing a deeply entrenched pattern where opportunity is born of connection, not qualification Here's a look at some of the current political hopefuls relying in part on nepotism — or attempting to buck their families’ legacies — in pursuit of elected office https://people.com/political-relatives-running-for-office-11984106 (https://people.com/political-relatives-running-for-office-11984106) Let us look closer at this matter and examine why those of us who have been excluded find satisfaction in our exile. As we reflect on their accomplishments, their thefts, and their false creations, we cannot help but laugh, wondering if their plunder was truly worthwhile. Their familial ties and their historical legacy evoke disgust, prompting many to frown at the mere thought of the calamities they have inflicted upon the world. They conceal themselves behind the narratives of others, fabricating identities and claiming achievements they did not earn. They present themselves as people of class, sophistication, generosity, and compassion, when in reality, they embody the complete opposite. It is evident that they have ostracized members of their own families, as well as individuals from their own communities. Many who were cast out are unique individuals of high integrity; as a result, they find themselves shunned alongside the rest of us—the average, the marginalized, those raised in foster care, or those from fractured homes. We possess the inherent right to express these opinions, as we are the true inheritors of the Earth. We are the ones witnessing the reconstruction and proclaiming loudly: do not allow their offspring to return to positions of power and perpetuate this cycle! The primary concern is not how their return might affect those of us who have transcended their folly. Rather, it is the incessant exposure to these individuals in our media—showcasing their attire, their activities, and the exclusive events they attend. We know that behind the façade, they engage in sordid behaviors, having committed atrocious acts to attain their status. The burden of their past is something they must bear daily, with no respite. They are compelled to live in perpetual fear of exposure. Thanks for reading! Subscribe for free to receive new posts and support my work. This is a public episode.

   The Earth and the fullness therein -

   Welcome to The Crown Apothecary course this is a brief glimpse of some of the tea house topics to enjoy more of these tea house rotations join here for extra credit! Listen here - Florida’s once plentiful fruit trees have largely vanished from both urban and rural areas due to destructive plant diseases, urban expansion, and stringent Homeowners Association (HOA) regulations. Nevertheless, the state’s lush tropical climate continues to produce remarkable summer yields, which is why your patience has been rewarded with fresh, delectable watermelon. Upon my initial arrival in the sunbelt, my foremost inquiry was regarding the absence of fruit trees. I do not refer to Florida as Florida; instead, I call it the sunbelt, as this is where I expected the most bountiful harvests to occur. This is why I envisioned needing a belt to secure the wealth of fruits and harvests that I anticipated would be present here. Unfortunately, I was unable to find any fruit trees, which I had expected to see abundantly upon my arrival in Florida. As a herbivore, I believed this location would be ideal for me, especially considering that my melanin necessitates consistent sunlight. Discovering that all the fruit trees had been removed was disheartening, leading me to question their whereabouts. I essentially lived as a snowbird, returning north for most of the summer. Recently, I chose to extend my stay for a few additional months, and during this time, I noticed that the harvest began to arrive, starting with the exquisite watermelon. After just one taste of this delightful watermelon, I resolved to remain for the entire summer! Inheriting the earth has also led me to recognize the accompanying responsibility, which compels us to act as advocates for her. We must raise our voices and acknowledge the actions that have been taken, which require rectification. Will you commit your voice, your hands, and your resources to support the earth’s desire for peace? God is the architect, and His son, the carpenter, represents the true masons who required no assistance from humanity. Humans were meant to relish the earth’s bounty, not to slaughter its creatures, nearly driving them to extinction and instilling fear in some. Many animals now find themselves constrained by ropes around their necks, rather than walking freely and enjoying the sustenance that the earth generously provides for all. No individual was meant to assume superiority over another, exploiting others as mere livestock or food. We were designed to share, to give, and to maintain the earth in a respectful state of cleanliness. Yet, I pose this question: what has transpired? For those of us who have inherited the earth with such levity, this may be our final opportunity to express our views before a more powerful voice intervenes. Where are the fruits of our labor? Release the animals from their restraints and liberate them from your so-called entertainment venues and zoos. This realm was originally the animal kingdom. At what point in creation was it decreed that you could imprison and exploit living beings for your own selfish purposes? This issue was previously addressed through the lens of slavery, yet it persists. Not only have you seized control of the animal kingdom, but you have also encroached upon the planetary kingdom. Did this not all originate in the garden? I implore you to reflect on when you will abandon your malevolent ways! My sheep know my voice …. This is a public episode.

   The Wormwood Prophecy: The last Artemis mission….

   The last Artemis mission, Artemis II, launched on April 1, 2026. Wormwood is a biblical term, primarily in Revelation 8:10–11, referring to a star that falls from heaven, poisoning one-third of the earth’s fresh water and making it bitter, causing many deaths. Wormwood, linked to plants in the Artemisia family (often Artemisia absinthium), appears in the Bible as a symbol of extreme bitterness, divine judgment, and catastrophe. It is mentioned in the Old Testament to represent sorrow and disobedience, and in Revelation 8:11 as a star that poisons one-third of the earth's water. The relationship between the biblical symbol of Wormwood and the Artemis II mission, which was launched on April 1, 2026, seems to represent a conceptual or prophetic connection frequently examined in eschatological (end-times) discourse. Although one serves as a theological emblem of divine judgment and the other marks a significant milestone in space exploration history, they are united by a linguistic and thematic basis in the plant genus Artemisia. Critical Analysis of the Connection Examining these two occurrences uncovers a convergence of ancient prophecy and contemporary history: Symbolic Synchronicity: Certain observers associate the “Artemis” mission with the “Wormwood” star due to their shared root name (Artemisia). From this perspective, a mission named after the source of “bitterness” launching during a period of global unrest is interpreted as a prophetic “sign”. Literal vs. Metaphorical: While the Bible depicts a celestial entity (star/meteor) descending to Earth to contaminate water, the Artemis mission signifies humanity’s aspiration to reach the cosmos. The irony is that a mission aimed at expanding human existence bears a name linked to a symbol that, according to scripture, signifies its termination. Temporal Relevance: The launch date of April 1, 2026, situates the mission within a timeframe that many modern prophetic interpretations connect with “end-times” occurrences, thereby amplifying the perceived importance of the name “Artemis”.

    AI requires pre-existing intelligence University Job platform, Handshake is flooded with AI training jobs!

    Handshake (https://www.linkedin.com/company/team-handshake/), best known as a student job platform, entered the AI training market in January. Just six months in, it expects to reach a $100M run rate from this new business line by the end of the year… https://substack.com/home/post/p-188401002 (https://substack.com/home/post/p-188401002) The development of intelligence, especially Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), probably requires pre-existing intelligence—be it human, artificial, or arising from evolutionary processes. Although human intelligence currently propels AI advancements, the burgeoning concept of [recursive self-improvement] indicates that AI may ultimately evolve into its own creator, producing new forms of intelligence through design rather than mere programming. No matter how intelligent autonomous AI agents become in certain respects, at least for the foreseeable future, they will remain unconscious machines. These machines have a fundamentally different operating system (biological vs digital) with correspondingly different cognitive abilities and qualities than people and other animals (Korteling et al., 2021). Is there a coordinated "trick" to pay or trick students to train AI, a rapid, contentious adoption of AI in higher education is forcing students to unknowingly feed data into AI systems. Students are currently caught in an "arms race" where they use AI to produce work, while teachers use AI detection tools. Concerns regarding the potential of AI to supplant human employment are considerable, with forecasts suggesting that although numerous positions may not vanish completely, they will undergo substantial transformation, especially in administrative and, progressively, white-collar fields. Rather than complete eradication, AI is swiftly automating particular repetitive tasks within roles, necessitating a transition towards more advanced human competencies. DO NOT COMPLY! Earn up to an equivalent of $18 per hour while working remotely and choosing your own hours. Click "Start earning today!" to join thousands of others building the future of AI! - You can start right away on our website - onboard in less than an hour! Recent advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI) programming tools, such as Codex and CoPilot, enable the generation of code across various programming languages based on natural language descriptions. At present, it is evident that these AI tools rely primarily on text matching and lack a true comprehension of the specifications or the code itself. However, they can assist in the development of programs by reducing the need for certain repetitive programming tasks. My concern lies in the potential for these tools to complicate the learning process for aspiring programmers, as they do not promote a deep understanding of the material. This is particularly troubling given that they can produce code for the straightforward pedagogical and andragogical tasks commonly employed in programming education, especially when there are already numerous online solutions available for these challenges. Furthermore, I ponder the implications these tools may have on the job market and how they might influence admissions into computer science programs. Should these tools encroach upon a significant number of entry-level programming positions, the job market may shift its focus towards senior programmers or those with specialized skills, such as expertise in hardware, operating systems, or mathematics. This shift could potentially diminish interest in computer science as a field of study. Are there viable strategies to ensure that students genuinely grasp the concepts they are working with, especially when they have the capability to rely on computers for code generation?

    Dogs and cats coexisting closely with humans…

    The predator in your home Dogs are domesticated wolves, bred to be smaller, more docile and extremely responsive to humans. But they are still predators. The uncontrolled accumulation of dog waste in urban downtown areas is a documented public health issue that goes beyond a mere “quality of life” complaint. Dog feces and urine act as reservoirs for bacteria and parasites. Protecting wildlife from domestic and feral dogs requires a combination of strict enforcement of existing regulations, enhanced community awareness, and the implementation of specific habitat protections. Research indicates that dogs, as common large carnivores, disturb or harm wildlife—particularly shorebirds and small mammals—even when leashed, through predation, chasing, and the presence of their scent, waste, and bacteria. Caring, however, does not mean idolizing. It does not mean putting animals above all else, allowing dangerous behaviors, or prioritizing a dog’s comfort over the safety of others and many people have pet allergies and have to choose themselves daily to survive daily. https://www.dcreport.org/2025/03/20/new-research-links-dog-waste-to-bacterial-pollution/ (https://www.dcreport.org/2025/03/20/new-research-links-dog-waste-to-bacterial-pollution/) How Your Dog’s Droppings May Be Secretly Attracting Rodents To Your Yard and your neighbors as well … https://www.housedigest.com/1430483/pet-dog-poop-attract-mice-rats-pest-yard/ (https://www.housedigest.com/1430483/pet-dog-poop-attract-mice-rats-pest-yard/) Recent studies have uncovered alarming findings linking dog waste to increased bacterial pollution in urban environments. As cities grapple with waste management challenges, the impact of unattended dog droppings on public health and water quality is coming into sharper focus. Leptospirosis is a serious, zoonotic bacterial disease spreading in cities, transmitted primarily through the urine of infected dogs, rats, and wildlife. It thrives in warm, wet urban environments (puddles, soil) and causes kidney/liver failure in dogs and severe, flu-like illness in humans. Pet waste primarily consists of feces and urine, which contain bacteria, pathogens, parasites, and nutrients. When not properly managed, these contaminants can enter water bodies and pose risks to human health. “Dogs create about .75 pounds of waste every day, 365 days a year” (Philadelphia Water Department, n.d). According to the EPA, each gram of dog waste can contain 23 million fecal coliform bacteria. “Fecal coliform bacteria are microscopic organisms that live in the intestines of warm-blooded animals. They also live in the waste material or feces, excreted from the intestinal tract” (Water Research Center, n.d). The presence of fecal coliforms in pet waste is significant because it indicates the potential for fecal contamination in the environment. Contaminated water and environments with fecal coliforms pose health risks, as some strains of these bacteria can cause gastrointestinal illnesses if ingestedor if they come into contact with open wounds (Lin et al., 2022). For instance, “diseases and illnesses that can be contracted in water with high fecal coliform counts include typhoid fever, hepatitis, gastroenteritis, dysentery, and ear infections” (Water Research Gate, n.d). Additionally, pet waste left in public spaces can attract flies and other pests, which can carry pathogens and contribute to the spread of diseases. Furthermore, airborne allergens from pet waste, such as dust particles contaminated with fecal matter, can exacerbate allergies and respiratory conditions like asthma in individuals who are sensitive to these allergens. Accumulated pet waste in public areas can also create unpleasant odors, negatively impacting the quality of life for nearby residents and discouraging people from using public spaces for recreation (Mori et al., 2023). Moreover, according to the Water Research Center, pet waste contributes to nonpoint source pollution, which is pollution that does not come from a single, identifiable source. This type of pollution is challenging to regulate and manage. Many individuals residing in urban downtown areas frequently observe dog owners walking their pets while carrying bags, presenting themselves as responsible citizens. However, they often neglect their duties by allowing their dogs to urinate and defecate on sidewalks behind buildings, subsequently abandoning the waste due to fatigue from carrying the bags. It is evident that not every citizen adheres to proper dog waste disposal practices. Those of us who frequent these urban walking spaces, enjoy visiting farmers’ markets, and appreciate our downtown communities have become increasingly aware of the unpleasant odors emanating from certain buildings where these animals reside. Each time we pass by, we are met with the strong scent of urine, particularly when residents from higher floors, such as the ninth and tenth, take their dogs outside. These dogs frequently urinate and defecate in public spaces, and the waste is not always solid, presenting a significant issue that warrants attention. This situation could potentially lead to a class action lawsuit. We aim to convene a committee of individuals concerned about public health. As someone with a master’s degree in public health and currently pursuing a doctorate in health sciences, I am eager to contribute to making this a priority for 2026. Dog owners wishing to cohabitate in an apartment complex are welcome to do so, as are smokers who wish to congregate and indulge in their habits. However, for those of us who do not own dogs or smoke, we would prefer to reside in environments free from the disturbances caused by those who do. CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT!! Citizens can file citizen suits under the Clean Water Act (CWA) against municipalities or entities allowing illegal, untreated discharges of waste, including sewage (which may contain pet waste) into U.S. waters . These lawsuits require a 60-day notice to the violator and the EPA. The CWA regulates point sources, such as pipes, that discharge pollutants into water without a permit. * Pet Waste and Runoff: While individual pet waste is generally treated as non-point source pollution, large volumes of pet waste combined with sewage overflows, or “dog piss/waste” contributing to a concentrated point source discharge, can be part of broader illegal, untreated sewage discharges.

    "CONTRACTS WRITTEN IN LEGALESE " MUST BE ABOLISHED

    On January 13, the CFPB proposed a new rule to ban large banks and consumer finance companies from using certain contractual provisions in agreements with consumers under Regulation AA. The CFPB’s proposal warns against the use of contracts of adhesion—which it qualifies as standard-form contracts offered on a “take it or leave it” basis — that often include coercive terms limiting consumer rights. The Bureau argues that such contracts can undermine fundamental consumer freedoms and the rule of law by allowing companies to unilaterally amend material terms or restrict consumers’ free speech. Deceptive contracts are more prevalent than one might think; numerous agreements employ intentional misrepresentation, concealment of significant facts, or coercive strategies to deceive buyers into entering unfavorable arrangements. This is particularly evident in financial aid contracts, which may seem legitimate but often harbor concealed, unreasonable, or unenforceable provisions aimed at misleading consumers about their rights or the actual cost of a product or service. Such actions violate federal and state consumer protection statutes, including Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act, which forbids “unfair or deceptive acts or practices.” Financial aid contracts and tuition payment plans frequently incorporate deceptive, hidden, or unenforceable clauses intended to mislead consumers about their legal rights and the genuine cost of education. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) cautions that the inclusion of such terms—even if they lack legal enforceability—constitutes a deceptive practice, as it misleads consumers into thinking they have relinquished their rights. Deceptive contracts are a form of contract to mislead buyers into unfavorable agreements through intentional misrepresentation, concealment of material facts, or coercive terms. These practices are illegal under various state and federal consumer protection laws. The employment of intricate, outdated, and frequently perplexing terminology in legal agreements—often referred to as "legalese"—has sparked considerable discussion, with numerous individuals advocating for its simplification or outright removal in favor of straightforward language, rather than the complete abolition of the contracts themselves. Students often express dissatisfaction regarding withdrawal fees, intricate procedures, and perceived inequities in refund policies, frequently highlighting exorbitant penalty charges, insufficient transparency, and delayed fund returns. Such grievances may arise from stringent deadlines, non-refundable charges, or unclear communication of policies at the time of enrollment. To address these issues, students may consider consulting school handbooks, reaching out to ombudsmen, or submitting formal complaints. All these contracts are essentially deceptive, and the notion that one can look at another person and assert that they should be held accountable for signing something written in an incomprehensible language is absurd. Furthermore, students who entered into contracts at an age where they could not fully comprehend their implications should be exempt from such obligations. If we persist in paying and complaining about this situation without taking decisive action to reject it as nonsensical and trivial—because that is precisely what it is—we will find ourselves ensnared in it. However, some individuals have chosen to cease their payments, deeming the entire matter too ridiculous for further discussion. Ultimately, the decision lies with you. Financial aid contracts and student loans, particularly the Master Promissory Note (MPN), are written in complex legal language (”legalese”) because they are legally binding contracts that establish long-term financial obligations, interest rates, repayment schedules, and specific borrower/lender rights. These documents are designed to protect the lender’s interests—often the U.S. Department of Education or private financial institutions—and to comply with intricate state and federal laws. https://www.investopedia.com/education-department-to-notify-thousands-of-borrowers-that-they-qualify-for-automatic-forgiveness-today-11936014 (https://www.investopedia.com/education-department-to-notify-thousands-of-borrowers-that-they-qualify-for-automatic-forgiveness-today-11936014) This is a public episode.

    Have we been lied to about Periodontal Disease...

    "Don't cast your pearls before swine" … #pearlywhites Arguments that the dental industry is "equally as bad" as Big Pharma often center on profit motives leading to potential over treatment, conflicts of interest, and significant barriers to care, drawing parallels to pharmaceutical industry criticisms like high drug prices and marketing influence over doctors…. What we have been told - Without timely treatment, periodontal disease can have severe consequences. Beyond chronic bad breath and bleeding gums, untreated gum disease erodes the bone and tissues that support teeth. If allowed to progress, this can lead to loose teeth and eventual tooth loss. Common surgical treatments for periodontal disease include: * Flap surgery — Lifting back the gums to clean the roots and remove bacteria buildup. between $2,000 and $8,000 for a full mouth * Bone grafting — Bone grafts for gum disease involve adding supplemental bone material to the jaw to replace lost bone tissue and support the teeth and gums. Simple/Socket Graft (Synthetic/Animal): $300 – $1,200 Allograft (Human donor bone): $650 – $1,600 Autograft (Your own bone): $2,000 – $5,000 * Soft tissue grafts — Reinforcing or replacing damaged gum tissue to cover exposed roots. between $600 and $3,000+ per tooth * Guided tissue regeneration — Stimulating the regrowth of bone and tissue in areas affected by periodontal disease. between $500 and $2,500 per site The Evidence - Price had noticed a rapid increase in dental problems roughly around the end of the nineteenth century (Oks, 2022 ). More advantageous would be promotion of foods and food ingredients from our ancestral era that have been shown to possess health benefits in the form of functional foods (Jew, 2009). During the study period, 644 claims were litigated against dentists related to periodontology. Overall, 508 cases were ended by a decision either by the insurance company or by the courts (Nassar et al., 2021). Conclusions: The main cause for lawsuits was related to aggravation of periodontal disease during prosthetic or implant therapy and related to suspected faulty or inexistent preoperative diagnosis and planning. Practical implications: Periodontal consultation before dental treatment may reduce malpractice risks, adverse events, and un-necessary changes of treatment plans (Nassar et al., 2021). Legal Help If you’ve suffered due to periodontal disease that was misdiagnosed, mistreated or ignored by a dental professional, you could be entitled to make a negligence claim. Seek Legal, Mental Health, or Critical Thinking Assistance - Performing procedures that are not medically necessary or that are done purely for billing purposes may be considered fraudulent and harmful. it’s free… https://www.forthepeople.com/blog/when-dental-work-goes-wrong-can-you-hold-your-dentist-accountable/ (https://www.forthepeople.com/blog/when-dental-work-goes-wrong-can-you-hold-your-dentist-accountable/) Patients speak out over alleged poor care at Aspen Dental Two former Aspen Dental patients say the company mishandled their treatment, leading to costly and painful corrective https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=793482346383556 (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=793482346383556) Aspen Dental faces several class-action lawsuits, most prominently a recent $18.7 million settlement for a privacy case (Donnelly, et al. v. Aspen Dental) alleging illegal sharing of website visitor data (like booking appointments) with Meta and Google via tracking pixels between 2022-2025, potentially violating privacy laws. Other suits accuse the company of deceptive advertising (leading to a Mass. settlement) and an illegal corporate dentistry model (prioritizing profits over patient care). Cause - When those same groups started eating what he called “the foods of commerce”—white flour, sugar, jams, marmalades, canned goods—their teeth rapidly degraded, with cavities becoming endemic. He was horrified by what colonization had done to the health of the Aboriginals of Australia: “In their native life where they could get the foods that keep them well and preserve their teeth, they had no need for dentists. Now they have need, but have no dentists” (Oks, 2022 ). When these same populations adopted modern diets — white flour, white sugar, vegetable fats, canned goods — the pattern of decline was immediate and predictable. First came dental decay. Then narrowed jaws. Then susceptibility to chronic disease. The change occurred within a single generation, in children born to parents who had switched diets (Jew, 2009). Cure - A reader recently described a situation that millions of people will recognise. He has had receding gums and jaw bone loss for over a decade. He flosses. He uses interdental picks. He brushes. He water flosses. He uses mouthwash. He does everything his dentist has ever told him to do. None of it has slowed the recession down. (Unbekoming, 2026). References Jew, S., AbuMweis, S.

    AI REPLACING ACADEMIA …

    Consider the emergence of “predatory journals” and the market they have established, wherein certain journals, predominantly online-only, accept flawed or fabricated research in exchange for a fee. These profit-driven entities prioritize the volume of publications over thorough review processes, effectively commodifying credibility and facilitating the spread of inaccurate or substandard information. The creation of a new peer-reviewed scientific journal represents a considerable, long-term endeavor that necessitates the establishment of credibility, a robust editorial board, and a rigorous, transparent, and ethical review process. Although anyone can create a website to host academic papers, the establishment of a respected journal demands a commitment to high standards and often emphasizes open access. Science advances fastest when it includes diverse perspectives, approaches, and participants, yet our current funding systems systematically exclude precisely this diversity (Mangalam, 2025). My inquiry to you is how many among you have obtained a PhD or doctoral degree yet have never succeeded in publishing an article in any research category? My second question is how many of you have graduated with degrees but have not been able to apply them, while still harboring a desire to engage in discussions about science and its complexities? How many of us, as degree holders, have qualifications that are languishing, yet we hesitate to leverage them to their fullest potential? If we do not utilize our degrees within a year, their value diminishes significantly. Therefore, if we do not begin to reconstruct the educational community with established standards, how will the worth of these degrees be preserved? If you, esteemed professors who have imparted knowledge to us, concur, we implore you to join us in our efforts to initiate the formulation of research papers and, with an open mind, allow newcomers to enter this field. This domain is currently inundated with individuals who have passed away, and those who are entering are being selectively chosen to apply their scientific talents. I propose that in 2027, we will launch a new scientific journal dedicated to those of us who possess degrees, have experience, and are committed to disseminating scientific knowledge. And self-reported surveys and studies of scientific papers reveal artificial intelligence is becoming an unavoidable part of scientific publishing, both at the level of writing manuscripts as well as the peer review process (Lloreda & Lopez, 2026).

    Have we been lied to about water…

    Water treatment in the U.S. usually goes through several steps to make sure it’s safe, and this is overseen by the EPA. The main steps are coagulation/flocculation to gather particles, sedimentation to let them settle, filtration to get rid of leftover solids, and disinfection (often using chlorine or UV light) to eliminate bacteria and germs, before the water is distributed. Main Water Treatment Steps Coagulation and Flocculation: Chemicals like alum are put into the water to balance out charges and stick dirt and particles together into bigger, heavier pieces called “floc”. Alum (aluminum potassium sulfate) and related aluminum compounds generally pose low risks in small, daily amounts but can cause serious health issues with chronic high exposure, including neurological, bone, and lung diseases. Risks are highest for individuals with kidney disease, who struggle to excrete Sedimentation: The water moves into tanks where the heavy floc particles sink to the bottom, letting cleaner water go on to the next step. Filtration: The water goes through filters made of sand, gravel, and charcoal to take out tiny impurities, particles, and dissolved substances. Disinfection: Chlorine, chloramines, ozone, or UV light is used to kill off parasites, bacteria, and viruses. Long-term exposure to chlorinated water and its byproducts may increase cancer risks. Fluoridation and pH Adjustment: Fluoride is often added for better dental health, and pH adjusters help stop pipes from corroding. Excessive fluoride intake, especially combined with low (acidic) pH, increases risks of fluorosis (tooth/bone damage), neurotoxicity, and kidney damage. While fluoride prevents cavities, high exposure or acidic conditions increase toxic absorption of hydrofluoric acid, causing tissue burns and reduced bone strength. Let the science and evidence speak for itself… Healing properties of saliva, reported since ancient times, are gaining attention especially when these are supported by modern scientific discoveries (Aripin et al., 2023). What is metabolic water - metabolic water is created inside a living organism through metabolism, specifically by oxidizing energy-containing substances (fats, proteins, carbohydrates) during cellular respiration. Consequently, saliva serves numerous beneficial functions that are vital for our health. While saliva has been thoroughly examined as a medium, only a limited number of laboratories have explored its role in preserving both oral and overall health (Tiwari, 2011). Additionally, saliva may potentially aid in the healing of skin wounds (Rodrigues et al., 2019). It is evident that saliva is crucial for maintaining the equilibrium of this system, particularly when salivary clearance is obstructed, as seen in sedated patients in intensive care (Amerongen et al., 2021). Saliva is a fundamental element of the oroesophageal environment, facilitating normal speech, taste, chewing, food bolus formation, and swallowing. It plays significant roles in safeguarding the hard and soft tissues of the oral cavity from acids and harmful microbes. A considerable number of individuals experience either subjective or objective changes in the quantity and/or quality of their saliva, which may result from diseases, medications, medical treatments, or emotional disturbances (Thie et al., 2021). Findings suggest that BF (Bahá’í fasting) is safe, does not adversely affect hydration, can enhance fat metabolism, and may induce temporary shifts in circadian rhythms (Koppold-Liebscher et al., 2021). Water intoxication can manifest in various clinical scenarios but is often under-recognized in medical literature. This condition may remain unnoticed in its initial stages when patients exhibit symptoms such as confusion, disorientation, nausea, and vomiting, along with alterations in mental state and psychotic symptoms. Timely identification is essential to avert severe hyponatramia , which can result in seizures, coma, and death (Amerongen et al., 2002).

    LES YEUX SANS VISAGE

    Hi Course 48 hours later as promised! Professor North here! Thanks for reading CRITICAL's Substack! Subscribe for free to receive new posts and support my work. This is the initial assignment for Critical 102. What I have shared serves as an excellent illustration of a scientist who faced a ban from LinkedIn due to a scientific journal in which she began posting a series titled “Eyes Without a Face.” Many of you may recall the song by Billy Idol, “Eyes Without a Face.” This document presents a detailed account of the circumstances surrounding her ban, along with various other aspects of her professional journey and how it ultimately unfolded. I believe this serves as a significant example for the upcoming generation, who will undoubtedly seek answers regarding the events of 2021. They will be eager to understand what transpired, and our role is to preserve this historical context. I would like you to evaluate whether this scientist was justified in her assumptions and hypotheses, as well as her method of documentation. Additionally, consider whether you have experienced a ban from this social media platform, as she reportedly did. Furthermore, I have a surprise in store for you that may come as a shock, so let’s get started. I encourage thought-provoking responses and welcome individuals who are prepared to engage in constructive debate, all while maintaining kindness and consideration. We are addressing the critical questions: What constitutes information? How is it disseminated? Is it acceptable to think outside conventional boundaries? I extend a warm welcome to all of you.
