@Nextdoor @bodhxsattva What you say does not match what you do. I've tried get back on the platform. You provide seemingly conciliatory responses here on X but duck my emails — a stark contrast from your public behavior here. How do I get back on?

@Nextdoor So you were, in fact, lying about having send the email. Why lie? And as before, you ducked out of the conversation.

@NASM @Trev__Rock NASM's glaring contradiction hypocritically dismisses the financial aspect of certifications, hiding a business reality (certification programs are at least partly about profit) as something that's not to be discussed, while penalizing students who recognize that reality.

NASM continues to promote Body Mass Index (BMI) as "the most practical measurement of overweight and obesity" (copied from the @WHO) despite widespread recognition of its limitations. Why? The CPT program's superficiality is glaringly apparent in its structure and content.

NASM's material is rife with errors. These educational failures represent more than just poor quality materials - they reflect a systemic corruption of fitness education where institutional authority and credentialism have replaced genuine educational value.

NASM’s presentation of these conditions as mutually exclusive is scientifically inaccurate and misleads trainers into underestimating the potential complexity of vitamin D toxicity. Blind leading the blind!

@amazon customer service repeatedly emails me to complain about my “interaction with Customer Support“. These complaints come with the threat of disabling my account. I have not interacted with Amazon customer support in a month. Due to these messages, I do not intend to.

@JSJoe15 @CaptKylePatriot @NurseRatchet222 Are rules made by man artificial? Natural law, central to the Enlightenment & U.S. Constitution, holds justice & fairness are inherent in human nature, discoverable by reason. It must be vigorously defended against attempts to control, oppress, and manipulate, through emotion.

@JSJoe15 @CaptKylePatriot @NurseRatchet222 That’s a good question! Rule utilitarianism is sort of a hybrid of utilitarianism and deontology — well-principled rules tend to lead to the best consequences. Where utilitarianism would prohibit hate speech, rule utilitarianism weighs the value of free expression. Thank you.

@NASM @Trev__Rock This system favors a select group of accrediting bodies and fitness organizations to retain industry control, limiting competition and focusing on credentials over skills & learning, in a closed, profit-driven system, rather than one for health.
