Life is a journey, isn’t it? I’m so glad you have a new job that is interesting and challenging. Good luck!

I was 12 years old when I read The Diary of Ann Frank, and that unleashed my wanting to understand man’s inhumanity towards man. It makes no sense. I eventually realized that I will never understand it…until I came across the metaphysical theory of soul levels – that we all are at different levels: infant soul, baby soul, young soul, mature soul or old soul.

It’s a fascinating theory, and finally, it made sense of what feels unfathomable to understand.

Who knows what theory is correct, but it does help make sense of man’s inhumanity towards man: https://lizlasorte.substack.com/p/do-you-want-to-live-in-the-happiest?r=76q58

Whilst your article was not necessarily intended to be inspiring, it was to me. I haven’t been through your hardship but the covid fraud has given new perspectives. I now appreciate more of what I have - family, true friends etc plus, as you pointed out, an intact soul. My knowledge of medical ways and how to support others health journeys is invaluable. The past and the future are where evil resides, as they say.

Thankyou for your words.

Be true to yourself. Don't change because others want you to do it. Many have been relentlessly mercifully vilified. Stand strong and upright in character, morals, and beliefs. Congratulations on your new adventures. Let your character stand in the artificial intelligence when utilized where it can harm or infringe on a person's right, such as copyright creative works. I remember when they wanted to make the ships all computerized at the beginning of the Gulf War with no human override and fought to have the human override and no fully computerized vessels. They had drones in the Vietnam conflict. Some ships were made in that manner, empty with no crew.

I'm probably going to try to get into the AI in medicine space. We should make medicine as good as possible and AI can go a long way there.

I commend your aspirations; yes, they can make medicine much better. Please feed the AI the correct information; the GPT chat seems biased toward correctness. Thank you very much, Kevin. Keep up the fantastic work.

Sorry, Doctor Bass, but the horrors you experienced are not rare. Abysmal, soul rending treatment of people who stand up for truth is not rare. Not in this Covid cull era, at least. I understand quite a bit about what was done to youβ€”in ways I wish I did not. Congratulations on your new endeavor. May you contribute to overcoming the evil temptations of the new AI world.

I've heard what must be almost a hundred stories by now.

Do you want to hear a hundred and one?

I'm not sure if that's a rhetorical question, but my non-rhetorical answer would be that I would love to.

Thank you for sharing a glimsp into your soul and its beautiful radiance of Truth. Its reassurring to witness others who hold Truth in such an exaulted position. One of man's greatest challenges is to resist the urge to put the immediacy of one's egocentric needs and desires superior to the pursuit of eternal values of Truth, Goodness and Beauty.

Thank you for your efforts, Dr. Bass. Stay bold and confident, encouraging others on their paths to live courageously. Then they will continue to be inspired to speak the truth as they face the present and future challenges.

I am encouraged by your words. I am also encouraged by your resilience and fortitude. Those who spoke up each have their story to tell. And we must keep telling it. But we also can move on and build anew in different directions. I’ve made a slightly adjacent move and I am finally creating a new circle of friends, not trusted friends yet, but that will show itself in time. I will be excited to learn more of your adventures in the wave of AI technologies. I don’t think the average person has any idea what is ahead for us. Thank you for keeping us informed of where you’re at in this journey.
