🚨 For all those wondering about their professional future in the "age of AI," don't miss this GREAT article by @AshishDhawanTCF and @PramathSinha.

It's especially relevant for teenagers, young professionals, and parents who are trying to provide the best possible advice to their children about which skills and careers to focus on today.

The AI debate has led millions to rethink their careers and professional choices (as I see in every new cohort of my AI Governance Training).

The interesting part is that it might end up bringing people closer to their interests, values, talents, and mission, in a deeper, more existential sense.

As with previous technological waves, we know that work will be disrupted (although it's still unclear exactly how). Hopefully, we will both individually and collectively manage to adapt and thrive.

HOSPITALS ARE USING a new name Biogenics for vaccines under this term. When you sign a form before a surgical procedure,you have to make sure not to sign up for biogenics. It allows the staff to give you any and every shot they see fit, while you're under anesthesia.

"If you are pro-vaccine, you are anti-science."

Del sat down with Dr. Brandon Crawford to discuss the award-winning film "An Inconvenient Study."

Del: "There is not a single study in the entire world - not from one single health department in any nation in the world - that can show you a study that compared their vaccinated kids to their unvaccinated kids and showed that the vaccinated are the ones who have better health outcomes...

Why? Why can't anyone in the world show us a study that the vaccinated are healthier? It doesn't exist. You would think they could manipulate it. And that's why I think when you look at the Henry Ford study, you realize why they can't. The disparity between these two is so vast. There's no way to manipulate the study to somehow get the vaccinated to look like they're healthier.

And now what we're left with is a scientific body is never going to admit it was wrong because it's liable. They're liable for trillions of dollars in damages now because they made us take these products, telling us it was making us a healthier nation....

So, we're in a position now where you could sit as a parent, I'm going to have to use my own intuition now, and I'm going to have to do my own deep research, and I'm going to have to start making decisions because I don't want my child's health to be based on a coin toss. It's worse than a fifty-fifty coin toss if your child is going to be free of chronic disease or not. Much worse.."

@dagwieers Inderdaad! Ek het spyt dat dit my so lank geneem het om die waarheid te ken.

@ComputerManiaSA, you can do better! How is it that a faulty mouse on purchase gets sent for 'repairs' and after more than 8 weeks, 4 visits to your Stellenbosch store and still no progress or updates!? At this point I just want my money back, PLEASE!
