Google Degree Explained

I do not have a google degree, a Facebook degree, or a conspiracy theorist degree. I have a masters degree in education. I was taught how to help others learn and think critically. Here is what I know -you need to research both sides of an argument to make an informed decision -you need to know who funded the study and what financial gains may be acquired from a certain outcome -you need to know if the study has been replicated at least twice with the same outcome -you need a reputable resource... this one is fun, let’s dive in. * what is a reputable source? Is it a source that everyone agrees is reputable? Is it because it is funded by certain people or businesses? Is it because they have a degree and if they have a degree who funded the curriculum of this degree? Is a source reliable because the news says so? Is it reliable because some one “reliable” says it’s reliable? Remember when studies showed cigarettes weren’t bad for you? Remember when doctors prescribed heroin? Perhaps a reliable source is someone who is passionate and has many life experiences in their area of expertise. Or someone who has put in countless hours of study? Did you not become an expert in your field from studying what other people wrote? Did you not become and expert from countless hours of research? You can find third party studies on both sides of an argument in this era, so let’s be mindful when we bash someone’s research -you need to trust your instincts and go with your heart. Science has become the new religion. This can be tricky because we put all our faith in one persons study that was done once. What about the 1,000s of year of anecdotal evidence to support human health? Is that not to be considered in our decision making. Some times our gut instincts vary. Does that make the other person wrong? Perhaps the difference is my holistic perspective doesn’t force anything upon you. My views don’t take away your freedom. You have the choice to stay home and be safe if that’s what you feel is best. You have the choice to get a vaccine. You have the choice to eat junk food, smoke and drink. You have the choice to be pro choice, pro life, vegan, or vegetarian. The difference is when your beliefs take away my freedoms. My freedom to choose what goes in my body. My freedom to take my child to the park, the chiropractor, the beach, because that is what keeps our family happy which in turn keeps us healthy. - we all have the right to believe what we wish. That is what makes this human experience beautiful, exciting, challenging, and joyful. You do not get to call me ignorant, insensitive, a conspiracy theorist, or killer. You have a right to feel safe, and so do I! The difference is I don’t feel safe being locked in my home and stripped of all my freedoms, and you do. The difference is you can choose to do that either way but I can’t choose freedom right now. - We all want people to live, love, and be happy. We all have different ideas of what that looks like. Death is a part of life, illness is a part of life. Instead of shutting everything down, let’s reopen with a new vision for health. Let’s boost our immune systems as we see fit. Let’s build community and support local business. Let’s plant a garden, give away what we don’t need to those who need it. Let’s take this as a time to do better, be better, and let everyone find their own path to abundant health.
