Scrolled on Twitter one time in months. This country is bad for my mental health. Corporations have more rights than some human beings …the only decent thing about this country rn is that no one’s brought war to our soil
I disagree with the Department of Justice going after Yale School of Medicine over DEI admissions policies and arguing that objective metrics like GPA and MCAT scores should dominate admissions decisions.
The evidence does not support the idea that standardized test scores alone identify the best physicians.
The MCAT predicts performance on other multiple-choice exams reasonably well. What MCAT scores do NOT predict are clinical judgment, communication, bedside skill, or physician performance. Put another way: doctors who test well tend to do well on examinations. But test scores do not predict how well they care for patients in clinics, hospitals, surgery, or real-world medicine.
Meanwhile, more diverse physician workforces are associated with better preventive care, greater trust, improved access, and lower mortality in underserved communities. There is no objective evidence that excluding minority applicants within a reasonable score range improves patient outcomes.
We need minority physicians in this country, and we have the data to prove why.
So when people insist that “objective measures” alone should determine admission into medicine — while ignoring the evidence about what actually improves patient care — I increasingly see that argument as less about merit and more about preserving exclusion under the comforting language of statistics.

Quarantining during a public health threat is not a punishment.
It’s not a violation of your freedoms.
It’s part of being in a society.
You do not have the right to spread a dangerous and deadly disease to others.
Robust public health measures save lives.
Do you remember in The Lion King when scar told the hyenas if they helped him become king he will make their lives better and then their lives didn’t get better and he blamed them for it.
And upon realizing this, the hyenas ate him.
Do with that story what you will.
hey guys i know ai is bad because it's water and energy intensive, but i actually wanna start with the fact that it is poisoning Black neighborhoods for generations
too many girls are taught to be curious about why someone is mean rather than being taught to simply step away and redirect their energy to folks who want to receive it.
It’s manipulative how people label your anger as the real you, like your joy and kindness were an act. Emotions are all part of you. Being upset doesn’t expose a “true color,” it shows you’re human.
🚨BREAKING: MIT hooked people up to brain scanners while they used ChatGPT.
What they found should concern every single person reading this.
ChatGPT users showed 55% weaker brain connectivity than people who didn't use it. Not after years. After just four months.
Here's how they tested it. 54 people were split into three groups: one used ChatGPT to write essays, one used Google, and one used nothing but their own brain. They wore EEG monitors that tracked their brain activity in real time across four sessions over four months.
The brain-only group built the strongest, most widespread neural networks. Google users were in the middle. ChatGPT users had the weakest brains in the room. Every time.
Then the memory test hit. Participants were asked to recall what they'd just written minutes earlier. 83% of ChatGPT users couldn't quote a single line from their own essay. They wrote it. They couldn't remember it. The words passed through them like they were never there.
It gets worse. In the final session, ChatGPT users were told to write without AI. Their brains were measurably weaker than people who never used AI at all. 78% still couldn't recall their own writing. The damage didn't go away when the tool was removed.
Meanwhile, brain-only users who tried ChatGPT for the first time? Their brains lit up. They wrote better prompts. They retained more. Their brains were already strong enough to use AI as a tool instead of a crutch.
The researchers also found that every ChatGPT essay on the same topic looked almost identical. More facts, more dates, more names. But less original thinking. Everyone using ChatGPT produced the same generic output while believing it was their own.
MIT gave this a name: cognitive debt. Like financial debt, you borrow convenience now and pay with your thinking ability later. Except there's no way to pay it back.
The question isn't whether ChatGPT is useful. It's whether the price is your ability to think without it.
Do people not understand the psyop?
AI will never become "conscious" and start making it's own decisions.
It will be programmed to do exactly what it does, and those who program it will convince you it is alive and controlling itself.
And then they can do whatever they want, whenever they want, with a perfect scapegoat.
The greatest atrocities ever seen can be conducted with no accountability.
It's like having an infinite get out of jail free card.
