I engage with my social and physical environment. Critical thinking guides this and a healthy body enables.

@SharylAttkisson There are claims that the Banks themselves are big supporters of fraud. Some claims suggest they are the biggest fraudsters.

Ask whether the service you receive matches the marketing claims. Same with Insurance.

[John.r.castleman @castleman_r]

@BarryYoungNZ Barry I had several extremely frustrating and totally nonsensical service failures with banks. Each time I was able to recover the service by eventually communicating with a real person(s), after countless failures with automated responses.
Why do banks dislike humans?

There is Pharma fiction,
and there is human reality.
Choose carefully what you base your views on.
Reality may be hard but could save your life.

@sappholives83 Must be something in that wig has destroyed his brain. He needs to be removed from judicial responsibility like his mind did years ago.

@jeffreytucker @X @OpenAI @grok Grok's apparent capture by the fake literature dumps claiming benefits (to pharma) outweighing harms (to people) reveals a serious flaw in the application of AI.

It can serve to magnify disinformation/misinformation .
Thank God for thinkers.

@ChrisMasterjohn Chris, thanks for addressing this fundamental activity which too many people take for granted.
Another function which people, especially mask wearers, ignore is the importance of nasal breathing to enable the immune protective functions to trap and clear pathogens naturally.

@kinek_kirin @ChrisMasterjohn Unable to cite evidence? Wrong
Convinced of an unfalsifiable story? Wrong
The term BIG AG has rotted his brain? Wrong and absurd.
Supported the idea that good simple tools can help poor farmers grow potatoes? Yes
Called a moron and targeted! See how Trolling works?

[John.r.castleman @castleman_r]

@kinek_kirin @ChrisMasterjohn The first time you called me a target despite knowing almost nothing about me, suggested you were a troll. I am very pro technology and scale where appropriate. What I am against is coercion to eliminate competition.
Who is the moron here? No need to answer, we know, Ciao!

[John.r.castleman @castleman_r]

@kinek_kirin @ChrisMasterjohn Of course it is not always the case! I agree.
Globalist Big Ag corporations and their paid puppets want to impose 1 size fits all (most profitable) solutions. Organic farmers produce better crops by controlling soil moisture and responding to early signs.

[John.r.castleman @castleman_r]

@kinek_kirin @ChrisMasterjohn For those interested in learning, unlike our PhD troll, Early blight and even late blight first appears in the leaves. Traditional farmers with the tools to work closely to the plants and soil can detect problems early and save much of their crop. Big Ag doesn't like this.

[John.r.castleman @castleman_r]

@kinek_kirin @ChrisMasterjohn Improving tools for traditional farmers eases their work burden and gives them more time, energy and precision to study and nurture their crops.
Assuming farmer to crop interaction should be replaced by larger scale technology is a little naive or just buying Big Ag marketing.

[John.r.castleman @castleman_r]

@kinek_kirin @ChrisMasterjohn Did you notice that the story was not just about farmers failing to protect against p. blight but the consequences of failing to recover? Are you asserting that loans, chemicals and interventions had nothing to do with that?

[John.r.castleman @castleman_r]

@kinek_kirin @ChrisMasterjohn That is fair comment, but saying USAID was irrelevant when it involved committing poor farmers to loans for patented agro-chemicals like glyphosate is missing the larger point about appropriateness of response.

Problem when those providing solutions are working for someone else.

[John.r.castleman @castleman_r]

@AbeFroman_44 @ChrisMasterjohn Keep trying Gary. the moral will come to you. The moral is "Don't change what is working! Focus on how to make it easier or better!"
The problem was what the farmers needed in better tools.
But the Govt and USAID saw an opportunity, at no risk to themselves..........

[John.r.castleman @castleman_r]

@GrandpaBaz @ChrisMasterjohn I constantly puzzle over why intelligent and educated people do not understand One Size Does Not Fit All.

It is not that hard to understand, just requires thinking.

[John.r.castleman @castleman_r]

@MitoHealthLLC @ChrisMasterjohn Now a wiser move would have been to provide the tools the farmers asked for. USAID could have looked to compare success of the traditional method with a control group on comparable terrain already using their tractors and agricultural poisons.

That would have been scientific.

[John.r.castleman @castleman_r]

@kinek_kirin @ChrisMasterjohn Some facts would make this comment more helpful. Dismissing the significance of USAID intervention, which according to the story set completely new directions, appears suspiciously complicit with unshakeable belief in prevailing ag science.

@EthicalSkeptic I need to buy the book.

[John.r.castleman @castleman_r]

@EthicalSkeptic Thanks, in State 2, the present poles become equatorial and the new poles are somewhere in South Africa and the Pacific. Am I reading the model simulation correctly?
