I am pleased to announce that I have commandeered my neighbor's home. This home will be sold at its Market Price, and that money will be controlled by me, to ensure it is used to benefit my neighbor and me! Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Medications have a place in our lives to help us on this Earth. I give thanks to all the impressive brains that contribute to their development but can we have a discussion on the 'overuse' of medications for some?
The stimulants Ritalin and Adderall have been used to treat attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) for decades, but research shows they don’t act on the brain’s attention circuitry as had long been assumed.
ADHD drugs work, but not the way experts thought
New brain research could reshape our understanding of ADHD and the most common drugs that treat it.

Although you get top marks for authenticity in figuring out the end goal, President Xi said as much about a year ago that it was 'straight up robbery'; in Mandarin of course.
So let me get this straight: the Trump-brokered deal for American ownership of TikTok means:

Oracle, Silver Lake and Andreessen Horowitz get all the profits

But China still controls the algorithm

So it was never about national security and all about skimming cash.

Why is the response to the vile shooting of Charlie Kirk to send bomb and shooter threats to Historically Black Colleges the next day? The alleged shooter is WHITE.

We Can Change This
-accept what cannot be changed, the courage to change what can be, and the wisdom to know the difference
Can we focus on the Evergreen HS tragedy, taking place at the same moment? I’m noticing the news is ignoring our children, for the sake of a white nationalist who dehumanizes EVERYONE who isn’t a rich white nationalist male

Media prioritizes hateful figures and humanizes them more then kids

I have found that more than a few of my medical doctors and a nurse doctor (whatever the heck that its) also have the inability to say "I don't know".
A little solace for the Anti AI crowd. The greatest weakness of AI is its inability to say “I don’t know”.

Our ability to admit what we don’t know , will always govern humans an advantage.

Can we have qualified immunity for mental health providers to address the stress of current modern American society? There are so many professionals who care, who have the gift, the talent to help others find balance and inner resolution to our mental wounds and strife... is this an emergency?

This reminds me of something about language. It is cultural. How do you replace stolen language? When a people lose their language through assimilation, forced non-usage and denial of education of their culture?
As an antidote to the constantly dreadful news, have some philosophical concepts:

This post has shown me we are in a second Civil War. No official splits of the states but a war it is. It a continuation of the War of Entitlement to issue White Privilege Cards or to see the potential of human being as being worthy.
