Honorary doctorates are stupid. Some people put so much effort into getting their degree that honorary doctorates are a slap in the face to those that put in the effort, instead of getting it handed to them with no effort.

Nobody should want anybody to be in espionage. The more you want someone else to be in espionage, the less human you are.

@aoc @KamalaHarris @HillaryClinton @BarackObama @SenSanders @BernieSanders It seems like the checks and balances of our government have disappeared since SCOTUS, POTUS, and most of the house/congress are no longer for the people. Should the military intervene to resolve all the corruption and unethical behavior? Kamala and Tim Walz should be president and vice president, respectively since they would be for the people. They should be able to select new members for the cabinet that are more reputable and knowledgable. Kamala should select all new members of SCOTUS. Taking away Roe v Wade was not an ethical decision since every woman's rights were taken away. Additionally, a previous version of SCOTUS decided to install Roe v Wade, so why was it ethical for the current SCOTUS to take Roe v Wade away? Does the current SCOTUS not respect the former SCOTUS members and their ethical decisions? One unethical decision by SCOTUS is more than enough for me to want an entire new selection of SCOTUS. They are the highest position in the government for legal decisions and nobody in SCOTUS should have ever made an unethical decision. The second amendment needs to be updated since SCOTUS decided to only enforce part of the second amendment. Isn't it illegal to not follow through with enforcing the entire second amendment as written? Every gun owner in the United States should already be a part of a militia. But since there was no military at the time the Constitution was written, perhaps the new second amendment should have the gun owners be registered for the Army Reserve instead. That would be safer for the gun owners to be in the reserve instead of active military. If the gun owners didn't want to be apart of the Army Reserve, they should be allowed six months to return their weapons and no longer be gun owners. Having gun owners be a part of the Army Reserve will give them more training for fire arms. The nice part here is that any mass shooting that would take place after this gets enforced would fall back on the military for a lack of training. The military would then be responsible for every subsequent mass shooting. I doubt the military would allow that at all, so I'm guessing there will be very few if no more mass shootings after this. With gun owners being a part of the Army Reserve their families will get more benefits too, like the G.I. Bill for their kids to attend college.

"Isn't it illegal to not follow through with enforcing the entire second amendment as written?" I should have written "unConstitutional" instead of "illegal."

78 million people voted for corruption and unethical behavior. I think it's time the voting rights in the United States changes such that each registered voter now needs to have a Bachelor's degree from an accredited university to make an informed decision on who represents this country.

Corey (Nobel laureate) at Harvard University lost two students to suicide, it made international news. UC Davis’ chemistry department has lost a total of five people to suicide. Four of these suicides took place within a one-year period around 2016-2017 while I myself was suicidal. Xu Cheng from Dave Goodin’s group. Philip from Gang-Yu Liu’s group. Troy from Dean Tantillo’s group. Josh from Jesus Velazquez’s group. After Josh left UC Davis with a Master’s degree, he ended up taking his life in 2022. I profusely apologize, but I never got the name of the person that committed suicide from Alexi Stuchebrukhov’s group. Since the deaths of these students, Ting Guo facilitated a graduate room for the graduate students to socialize in. Susan Kauzlaurich runs a mental health class, which I don’t even know what takes place. Dean Tantillo and I started a mental health working group to facilitate the needs of the graduate students. None of this is sufficient. The first meeting of the mental health working group had more people show up than those that made regularly reoccurring appearances. Dave Goodin and Gang-Yu Liu showed up to the first meeting and then never showed up again. Alexi and Jesus didn’t even bother showing up to any of the mental health working group meetings after losing someone from their research group to suicide. After each meeting that Dean ran, he emailed everyone with the notes of the meeting and those that were in attendance. None of the distinguished professors made regularly reoccurring appearances to the mental health working group. The distinguished professors are only distinguished because they are well known and not actually distinguished by their personality or character. If they were actually distinguished by their character and personality, then the issues that have shown up in the department would have already been proactively resolved. I do not believe anybody should ever be called distinguished as this is a failed experiment to me. Being distinguished is another caste system that creates inequality amongst people. While I was at UC Davis only Dean and Marie were the only senate faculty that would go out of their way to acknowledge my existence, so even the senate faculty need to act more appropriate and welcoming to people in their department. I do not understand how the deaths of E.J. Corey’s students made international news, and nobody has been notified about the deaths at U.C. Davis. I even emailed Chancellor May to discuss this and have only received an automatic generic response. How is it possible that all these suicides took place and it didn’t make international news? What is going on in the department of chemistry at UC Davis such that this egregious behavior has been covered up?

There was another suicide on May 11th. Yiyun Liu from Carlito Lebrilla's lab. We're up to six folks. I half expect the people I tagged to start doing something about mental health issues in the chemistry departments. Not only where you are, but to help unscrew UC Davis Chemistry.

If everyone on the planet were ethical, we would be able to flourish considerably more.
