Anyone saying "Scientists don't want you to know this fact" has never met a scientist.
Scientists are famous oversharers.

I noticed that in Southeast Asian countries, it is easy to start organizations. Everybody wants to join the community. The challenge is how to sustain them, as they often lack capital. In other countries, it is easier to earn money but more difficult to form communities.
Southeast Asians should recognize the strength of their culture, which lies in community. Start from there, and then find creative ways to monetize to keep it going.

Iranian women constitute over 70% of students in STEM!
Over 100 young schoolgirls just died. Some of them could have been their country's future engineers and scientists.

It's Women's History Month and the first victims of the current war were young schoolgirls. Whether it was a failed missile attack from Iran or targeted attack from Israel, fuck them all. Those were children. The first victims were children!! 😡

What's happening in the United States happened in the Philippines exactly a decade ago. We were your "petri dish". It's Duterte's Playbook. Dictators' Playbook.

Oh so many Gen Zs have no idea how 9/11 reshaped the whole world, or how to connect the current terrible chain of events to that terrorist attack. The shift to a new age really started after the collapse of Soviet Union and the 9/11 incident. I'm a Zillenial and watched 9/11 as a kid and everyone was non-stop talking about it. The younger Gen Z must take time to analyze and understand this history.

Hello everyone 🤗
I'm an artist from the Philippines. Most of my customers are neuroscientists, technologists, journalists, etc. from all around the world. They display them at offices, labs, and companies. I can paint abstract or any picture you would like me to paint.
This time, I can paint that costs only around 15-25k Philippine pesos.

Now you know why every time a supertyphoon hits the country, the flood destroys Filipinos' lives. The Philippines is one of the most vulnerable countries to climate change. The country gets the biggest supertyphoons yet they stole 1.7 TRILLION PESOS supposedly for Flood Control Projects. EVERY FILIPINO HAS THE RIGHT TO BE ANGRY. This is a very important anti-corruption protest in this era of climate change.

2025-09-21 17:44:16 UTC

1.7 TRILLION PESOS.
I REPEAT.
1.7 TRILLION.
THAT'S HOW MUCH THEY STOLE FROM FILIPINO TAX PAYERS. SO NOW EVERYONE IS RALLYING. #Philippines #ClimateChange

Every hype post on #neuroscience that I come across is basically a lie and misleading, with a few facts thrown in to make it seem plausible. It's similar to how a salesperson sells a product.

Trump: Elon Musk should go back to South Africa. Stop his production of electric vehicles, satellites, and other innovations. Save money!
Rest of the world: This is dumb. We use these American innovations too. We will also be affected.

In the present era of disinformation, The Philippines was considered the patient zero because it came before the Cambridge Analytica scandal and Russian trolls received extensive global coverage. During Duterte's 2016 presidential campaign, Trump used the same strategy.

yes. We had "death squads" who were assassins hired by the administration. If you were red tagged, your name is listed to be imprisoned or assassinated. It happened to my relative who was shot down in broad daylight.

Filipino-American Maria Ressa won the Nobel Peace Prize for fighting against disinformation. I hope you all will listen to her.
The Philippines was a colony of the United States. We were the victims of this information war. Now it's the Americans. The Philippines was your "petridish". The Philippinization of America is happening before your eyes.

Fortunately, it was only temporary. Democracy was restored and now in "peace", I was able to get back to my studies and decided to pursue computer science and neuroscience. Science was (is) very expensive for me to pursue under authoritarianism. We had very little support.
It turned out the Russian Disinformation campaign started in the Philippines in 2012. Both Duterte and Trump were elected presidents in the same year 2016.

It took a toll on my mental health and caused me to perform at school very poorly, so I moved to a different school and repeated senior highschool twice.
Never have I ever dreamed of joining academia because I thought the political crisis in my country wouldn't end and thought I'll just be an artist.

Critics of the government were called terrorists. (Even Taylor Swift called for the Junk Anti-Terror Bill.)
I was in highschool when we had the authoritarian Duterte as our leader. I participated in protests as an artist for human rights.
We had things worse: Duterte declared Martial Law, and implemented War on Drugs which resulted in many unjust extrajudicial killings. A relative and acquaintances of mine were victims.
We also had bomb threats in school campuses.

2025-03-05 09:21:43 UTC

Criminalizing student protests? Suppression of academic freedom? We had all these in the Philippines years ago.
Professors and student protestors were "red tagged" as communists. Soldiers confiscated books from libraries they called subversive. Vandalism of libraries.

Memory is not just data storage; it is deeply tied to the brain's physical structure, emotions, and context. Transferring memory or cognition as if it were software is a sci-fi fantasy, not grounded in current science.

Anti-intellectualism is the real cancel culture.

2025-01-08 03:20:50 UTC

I've been arguing for years, since the pandemic that the invasion of the West has already started, and not just through physical war. Misogyny, anti-intellectualism—all hallmarks of Ur-fascism were present. It's too late; Trump and Elon have Kremlin talking points.
What we can do is adapt and prepare for the approaching multipolar world, whatever it is. There will be numerous problems, but we will see new types of progress. There will be a revolution in everything. Goodluck to everyone.

Americans described their politics as a circus. How can we describe our Philippine politics? Our Vice President literally said "If I get killed, kill the President, and the First Lady."

You can criticize academia for its imperfect system. You can criticize specific academics because of their views. You can criticize academics despite their expertise and credentials. However, a strong disdain for intellectuals and the arts will always be indicative of fascism.
I know this, because I live in a country that had suppressed academic freedom.

I noticed that necktie 👔 for male academics, and neckscarf and pearl necklace 🦪 for female academics are now disappearing.
I think Gen X started this no-necktie suit. Only boomers still wear striped neckties. Pins for women have disappeared too.

What is a Filipino?
Watch and listen to my friend historian Xiao Chua. It is indeed important to note that pre-colonial Philippines had its own writing system which is a sign of a civilization. Hence why it was the Spaniards who adjusted to learn our language. Filipino intelligence is seen in our great Austronesian maritime expansion and language.

I find it crazy that other countries need to be rich to build artificial islands. Here in the Philippines, we get new islands for free. All we need are volcanoes. 😂 When I was in gradeschool, we had 7107 islands, and now we have 7,600+ islands and counting! It still blows my mind that there are thousands of islands that are not occupied in the Philippines.
