[VIDEO 2.5hours] ADMINISTRATIVE ANARCHY IN AMERICAN ACADEMIA: Corruption and Chaos in Chiropractic, Clinical Nutrition, Functional/Naturopathic Medicine, and more

“How much truth can a spirit endure, how much truth can a spirit dare? More and more, intellectual integrity became for me the real measure of value. Error (faith in the ideal) is not blindness; error is cowardice. ... To endure my seriousness and my passion, the scholar must carry intellectual integrity to the verge of hardness. We must become indifferent; we must never ask if the truth is “useful” or if it will be our undoing. ...  At every step and with every word, one has to wrestle for truth; one has had to surrender to it almost everything to which the heart, to which our love, our trust in life, cling otherwise. That requires greatness of soul: the service of truth is the hardest service." Friedrich Nietzsche

This work:

1. Video review and commentary: provided above, first edit and hopefully the only/final version…actually, I will probably insert another 20-30 seconds of video, but mostly for reinforcement and comedic relief (it is an excerpt from a cartoon).

2. Text: previous versions have been posted; the final edits taken from the video review will be posted tomorrow, not today—internet connection was too slow to do more than upload the video today but now speeding along after changing some settings

3. eBook: will be published this week for free; it will be identical to the final version of the PDF text posted by tomorrow

4. PDF archive: yesterday’s semi-final version (4May2024) has been posted here https://www.academia.edu/118395502 and tomorrow’s final version (6May2024) will be posted to the same link; you will be able to tell it is the final version because the date will be 6May2024 or later; this is the most reliable source for the final version of the PDF text and eBook because it can be updated easily

You will be able to download the final-FINAL versions of the PDF/eBOOK and VIDEO this week; the download links will be sent by email.

Be sure you are subscribed to the email newsletter because the download links will be time-limited.
