There are currently "states" in the US, places I previously lived and visited at different times of my life, that are making the case that US history and the bible are linked and must therefore both be included in the classroom in various forms/formats. So I am being called to share additional information related to US History and biblical links. As decisions are being made, questioned and/or appealed, I hope that an holistic analysis takes place that includes how atrocious the domination story of colonization in "US history" actually is in fact by way of Doctrine. For anyone interested in learning about these details, namely "The Doctrine of Discovery", a "legal document" used to drive dominance and an extractive economy on Turtle Island, this is a great place to start. Steven Newcomb is an excellent resource: https://lnkd.in/gi8KaphX

In an era where scientific knowledge outpaces wisdom, I've been curious about how democratizing scientific literacy can bridge the trust gap between society and technology. 🧬🔬 How do we resurrect trust in an institution so thoroughly entwined with capital and political power from institutions such as the United States defense organization DARPA? The answer lies not in further isolation. We must tear down walls of elitism and make everyone a citizen-scientist. 🪐Check out the full op-ed here: https://lnkd.in/e-3aQkMV
