You didn't fail. We are up against Goliath. Anyone who stands pokes the eye of Goliath. Everyone that stands in his or her own ways is a winner in my eyes and eventually will help encourage others to stand. We all may not stand the same way, and at the same time. Doesn't matter. As long as the 8 billion people continue to stand here and there, then everywhere. Be like whack a mole game. That is why the censorship is so strong. They can't even have just one person standing. Now when you stand you will take the heat. Bullets will be thrown at you. Not everyone can take the bullets, but they should expect it. They stand for how long they can stand and hopefully someone else takes the baton and runs with it.
This has been planned by the very wealthy controlling people for quite sometime and not just one person can take Goliath down. It has to be a community gathering together to do it.
I hope you continue to fight for your right to practice in what way suits you. I hope you win. Stay strong. This isn't easy.
About the girl. You didn't know. Under the circumstances you know in your heart you did nothing wrong. If you knew you would have offered that girl food. At the time in your eyes you weren't denying a hungry child food.
Dr. Nagase: Thank you for another profound and thoughtful article. Western society - due to the rise of tyrants, bullies, and mediocrity - no longer values courage, moral courage, integrity, and critical thinking skills. God bless you always ππΌποΈπβοΈ
Thanks Dr. for your unique insights. They are very sobering, but make perfect sense. Katherine Watt says that judges in the US never address constitutional issues in these cases; if they rule in favor of health freedom it is on procedural grounds. One example is the ruling that said that OSHA overstepped its authority by forcing companies with 100+ employees to get the vax or pay a $70,000 fine per employee. Nonetheless this was a great ruling, without it I think it likely we would at some point faced gun-toting door to door vax enforcement.
Ms. Watt said she is virtually certain that judges have been threatened with physical harm to keep them corralled.
It is heartbreaking to realize what is happening to us at the hands of psychopaths, but it is an undeniable reality. They have been able to influence or remove almost all effective resistance.
On the subject of Jordan Peterson, Amazing Polly has done some good videos about what he has been up to. I canβt see into his or anyone elseβs heart, however.
Thank you Daniel for a great read which I reflected on why we make decisions.
I reflect:
1 Brain - I have conscious problem solving and decision making. I use critical thinking with facts.
2 Heart - I use love energy and compassion for others in my decision making.
3 Gut - I sometimes override my brain and heart because I have a strong inner sense my gut tells me to take another action.
I am suggesting that as sovereign beings we use a combination of these 3 decision making tools.
A good friend of mine βBorjeβ once told me the opposite of love is fear, and I thought at the time it didnβt seem correct.
I was wrong though because over time I discovered with respect to love and compassion that fears are often the ONLY thoughts that get in the way of my heart β€οΈ.
I now encourage myself to act spontaneously when I feel love and compassion π
Our π¨π¦psychological war βgovernmentβ uses fear as an effective tool for obedience and compliance.
You are a courageous leader who puts fear aside for the sake of others.
We can only be patient as the other Doctors build up enough courage to follow your path of love and compassion.
"I couldnβt get a Texas medical license because the Canadian health authorities I used to work for refuses to send the necessary documentation to confirm my employment history."
Sound like you need a lawyer. It's amazing how the threat of a lawsuit can get things moving, especially if it includes a claim for damages. Be sure to name the individual responsible for that decision in the suit because it sounds like they are acting out of turn.
As I pictured your trip episode and the perfectly imperfect world playing itself out.. I had to laugh .. ER Dr. Daniel is always on call π
I see you as embodying βGodβs Repairmanβ fixing the Emergency Traumas that present physically, from the depths of our collective psyche, and that you treat the conditions with heart and honor. However in these other broken world departments, they donβt seem to share your dedication to best practices for humanity..
what to do? Just continue to be you, and keep working your path as youβve helped save many lives.. Be the Good Medicine, be the intention to heal and mend, inside and out β and be as the prayer says, granted the serenity to accept the things you cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom that knows the differenceβ¦β
Can you go personally to Canada and look for the paperwork you need to work in the States? There are also a lot of need of country doctors and they are not so picky or in some states too like South Dakota, what about Puerto Rico? or Mexico? I feel bad that decent people like you that we all should be proud to have around us cannot find a way through in the world. Do not get hopeless. I will put a prayer for you and prayers are powerful. Doctors like you are doing God's job, He will not let you down.
So Daniel is clearly laying out a philosophical scenario then he posing a philosophical question. Heβs inviting us to a philosophical discussion about discovering a root cause. This is where we take him on his invitation and doβ¦philosophy! I get weβre not used to practicing this but
- stating truths which only make us masters of the obvious is not philosophy
-praising him is not philosophy and itβs not what heβs asking for
-offering firm solutions is not philosophy.
You may or may not know an answer but still the process is to pose questions. Letβs just take a break from commenting for one place in a million and letβs do philosophy!
So here is why I like this post. Itβs philosophical. Why it is best to be philosophical and why is this categorized as a philosophical essay?
1) talking only about people and events is uselessly impermanent if you stop at that. Never, ever does that change anything. Only philosophy creates change thatβs permanent. If youβre not practicing philosophy youβre just wasting time. We must talk about ideas. Problem is, we have the question but if the answer is not easily reached, we stop thinking about it. No! Ask the question then keep it going.
2) he talks about people (Jordan Peterson) and events (rally) but unlike 99% who stop there, he continues on to ask βwhatβs going on behind these people and the eventsβ. In other words, what is the true root cause? Solutions only emerge built from root causes. For a doctor that truth should be profoundly obvious. Wellβ¦only for some doctors it seems.
3) he doesnβt give the answer. Thatβs fine! If he had the answer on tap and wrapped up then this would not need the philosophical discipline! This is how solutions start though. Clearly define the problem, then afterwards get to work on identifying the root causes. He says, βI donβt know what the answer is,β but only the bravest ever even dare ask these questions and itβs incredibly important to continue, but properly, using philosophical discipline.
So to kick the can down the road and keep momentum going, I have these questions to help us all zero in on the critically valuable perspective which matches the real world. Participate if you only have another question. Donβt rush to some firm position/answer at this stage unless youβre willing to vigorously defend it, because thatβll take place.
- are the bulk people of people really that hopeless at their core? Amazonian tribes grate a poisonous root into the water so as to stun the fish and so they become easy to harvest. What if thatβs whatβs being done to us? If so, the root cause is not humanity itself but those who are purposefully stunning us. That totally changes the strategy and our morale, if this is true.
- your Manila experience is an example that describes exactly the poor outcomes emerging from an incorrect perspective which only was oriented correctly after the fact. This is what we are all experiencing (those who arenβt completely self delusional) Would we ever dare to openly ask ourselves (or another) to question profoundly the validity of our perspectives? That is where true power lies. So the question - is a despondent view of humanity really accurate?
- If I were tasked to show an Inuit person an orange for their first time and I took them to an orchard, would I show him a heap of rotten squashed rancid tree-fall and say, βyes, thatβs an orange.β Those arenβt really oranges and the person would have an incorrect view of what an orange is. He may be turned off oranges but my p-oint is that those arenβt real oranges anymore. A real orange is bright, ripe and smells nice. What if with humans we are blending the two and calling them the same thing? That would be an incorrect perspective and give us poor results.
Thatβs just dipping the toe in the water for now but this is what we do with what heβs started. If itβs a philosophical essay then letβs do philosophy.
It's not enough to know we're being deceived. We have to recognize the methods employed in order to counter them. This requires a deeper understand of how we use language than most people are familiar with. Language is the hidden ground of communication. How we use words and how we assign meaning to words is crucial for deciphering how language can be used to manipulate and deceive us.
All disciplines have their foundational elements, in this case we are talking about the pioneering work of Alfred Korzybski in his 1933 book 'Science and Sanity.'
Science and Sanity is aimed at an academic audience and should be treated as a reference book. It's heavy sledding, which is why Stuart Chase wrote 'The Tyranny of Words' in 1936 to make Korzybski's efforts more accessible. Start with his book if you find S&S too difficult.
Following that, I suggest readers research (not google) Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP). Read up on the subject, bearing in mind that some advocates of NLP are doing what Jordan Peterson does, that is, using it to deceive us. It's a sword that cuts both ways - it can be used to detect deception, but also to commit it. The techniques are similar to hypnosis, so be warned - once you're aware of the techniques you'll have to resist the temptation to use them, self-defence being the only ethical exception.
On the Jordan question, I watched the Amazing Polly clip, but I wouldn't assign it that much importance. As a psychologist, Peterson is well aware of NLP but he's not very good at it. Those pensive moments, the furrowed brow, the careful searching for words... it's all an act designed to convince you that he's a deep thinker. Sam Harris does the same thing, so does Tony Robins for that matter, and any number of people trying to sell you something. That doesn't mean they're controlled opposition, an overused term I've been accused of myself (*), just that they're doing what investment advisors call 'talking their book.' In many cases an actual book is involved, which they'd like you to buy on the premise that 'a fool and his money are soon parted.' Don't do that!
(*) if you point out the contradictions in the ethical position of figures like Sen. Ron Johnson, RFK Jr. or Charismatic Beard Guy, you will definitely be attacked by the True Believers.
Let's put a name to your Manila experience: Default Assumption.
Here's the classic formulation. See if you can spot the DA.
A boy and his father were driving home when their car was struck by a train at an uncontrolled railway crossing. The father was killed instantly while the boy survived but was seriously injured. Rushed to the emergency room at the local hospital, the ER doctor on duty called another doctor to the ER and said "you'll have to handle this. I can't operate on this boy, he's my son."
