How Big Pharma Weaves Its Web
From clinical trial design to regulatory approval, from controlling medical journals to silencing dissenting voices, the industry has built an intricate and self-reinforcing web—one that traps doctors, patients, and even regulators in a cycle of pharmaceutical dependence.
The Confidence Man
Progressivism often confuses good intentions with good outcomes. And their participation trophies weren’t just harmless, plastic souvenirs—they were symbols of a broken ideology. The policies born of John Vasconcellos’s utopian theories weren’t harmless overreach; they were a generational catastrophe.
The City That Treats Adults Like Children
Newton’s law bans everything with nicotine—whether it burns or not. Cigarettes. Vapes. Nicotine gum. Pouches. Even options that help people quit smoking are now outlawed for future generations. Meanwhile, marijuana sales continue—untouched, unrestricted, uncriticized. Why? Follow the money.
Concientización and the Rebirth of Critical Thinking
The most profound idea that I learned was concientización. There isn’t an exact equivalent in English. Concientización is the process of becoming aware of how the world actually works. It’s about learning to break free from mental colonization.
