There was a very old one-liner that went, “You’d have to be nuts to see a psychiatrist!”
Seems it’s true! They are tenth rate quacks who never cure, only harm and more and more of them are being exposed, having their licenses cancelled or jailed for sexual abuse of their patients, medical billing fraud and other crimes.

What could be the largest human skeleton ever discovered has been unearthed by a team of archeologists from the University of Adelaide at the Uluru archeological site near Ayers rock in Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, reports the Adelaide Herald this morning.
If you have vested interest in comprehending and learning, this article is well worth a read! From the article:
Our work has revealed a significant discrepancy. Students said they preferred and performed better when reading on screens. But their actual performance tended to suffer.
For example, from our review of research done since 1992, we found that students were able to better comprehend information in print for texts that were more than a page in length. This appears to be related to the disruptive effect that scrolling has on comprehension. We were also surprised to learn that few researchers tested different levels of comprehension or documented reading time in their studies of printed and digital texts.

You cannot trust governments!
They are the collective irresponsibility of the people!
And this is a first world, “benign” government too!
Governments should have their powers strictly curtailed and, like Mark Twain said, changed often, like nappies, and for the same reason!
Convenience is not always a benefit; sometimes you pay a very high price for it without even knowing. So-called “digital assistants” such as Amazon’s “Alexa” and Google Home are all the rage. You leave them on in your kitchen or den, where they are online 24/7. Using voice recognition, they can turn music on and off, play your favorite tunes, give you a weather forecast, order pizza for home delivery and much more. You don’t have to lift a finger; just give the device your orders and your wish is their command. But is that all they do? Turns out the answer is no. They listen to what’s going on in your home continually. The devices use sophisticated artificial intelligence and big data to “evaluate” your home behavior and decide if it’s morally correct in accordance with the definitions and standards of software developers crowded into Silicon Valley or Seattle. Their values are not yours. These developers are typically left-wing, politically correct and not particularly religious. They’re not guided by the moral standards that moderate your behavior. They do believe in human-caused climate change (false science), the end of internal-combustion engines (impractical) and the Green New Deal (unaffordable), among other things. So what happens when your conversations with your friends and family, your selection of books and articles and your political opinions run afoul of the Silicon Valley thought police? According to this article, a network of similar devices from other homes holds a digital kangaroo court (no humans allowed) to decide if you are a threat. If you are judged to be a threat, the devices will report you to the police (usually politicized on their own) or place you on a surveillance list or worse. Your digital assistant is actually a well-placed spy and you are the enemy. I don’t own one and have no intention of getting one. If you get one for the convenience, just watch what you say… and think.
5 years on and still as fresh as todays’ bread!
Unfortunately.
Because that means nothing has changed.
And it desperately needs to.
Too many lives are being wasted for lack of this knowledge by the many.
