What I Stand for in 2023

Sharing what I stand for in 2023.

Because I believe the only way we will make it through the current state of issues as humanity, is if more people stand by the right things, not because it is wrong not to, or want to change your mind, but because together, if we have shared concerns we may stand a chance.

Call me “woke” if you wish, but at least I will try, sharing or putting some energy into a cause this year, even if the only thing I can give is sharing and some of my time or money. We have to put ourselves out there and be more vulnerable, I care more about the human behind a brand, and you should too, this is part of my identity.

First and foremost, I #StandWithUkraine. It is crucial that Ukraine win against the invaders and terrorists occupying their land, it is a fight for freedom that humanity simply cannot afford to lose, if we lose, not only Russia, others will try to impose their will by holding others hostage enabled by their energy resources, and remain unaccountable for their actions, what kind of future is that?

This leads me to my second stance, we need to develop or provide access to better energy technologies open to everyone.

For this, I have been following the work from Dr. Steven Greer, as in his latest statements I think we are closer to having an open and accessible source of energy. A lot has to be done, but I don't know anyone else who seems committed to this and other humanity survival goals in the context of the rest of civilizations in the universe, which will take more and more importance, perhaps this year there is a breakthrough in this subject, and yes, I believe this is not science fiction, but the future of science as we know it.

This will also immediately impact climate change crisis, there is no time left to waste, or we are closer to the point of no return.

Third, COVID has become the ultimate threat to our quality of living, you simply do not need to catch a virus that causes potentially so much vascular damage and inflammation all over your body, and neither be disabled from long covid:

Plenty of scientific evidence has given us the tools to fight it, spread is not unstoppable, is freaking physics and evidence-based science, just facts. Our tools:

Thereby I stand for eradicating the virus spread, every action counts, specially spreading the knowledge societies terribly lack of thanks to governments agendas and weak journalism.

We start the year as 2020 started, restricting flights from China in places and pretending the virus has magically vanished with wishful thinking, as if we knew nothing of how the virus spreads, after 3 years, mind-boggling to say the least, but misinformation is people in power's agenda.

I hope we don't repeat the same mistakes, but the situation calls for a better organized society to act, it is our health, any government will try to save face first before admitting mistakes on handling the pandemic. Another fight we cannot afford to lose, and we are.

More on how to stop the spread here and here

Lastly, I stand for a plant-based diet, it is the best way we can take care and protect our bodies against disease or at least getting less sick and protect your brain too!

Follow NutritionFacts from Dr. Michael Greger author of “How not to die” book series, a great pool of resources for a plant-based diet following the science and evidence.
Follow TheBrainDocs for great information on nutrition focused on brain health, which of course impacts directly overall body health.

By having a healthy diet, you may improve your immune system for easier recovery from Covid or avoid underlying conditions that could aggravate your health. Furthermore, reduces your carbon footprint, is the least you can do to do your part about the climate crisis.

Perhaps I should change my blog to another site or create my own to share this, we will see. But I also know that even if we are technical people in this community, we should be aware and have some convictions in life, is not just politics, it is about being a human that cares for others and where you live and how you live.
