Continuing the thread from the two emails referenced below, including one sent to Ulrich Betz on January 14 and another distributed to several thousand colleagues by January 21, and particularly focusing on the email dated February 15, 2018, reproduced in the end of the post titled "Ethical reflections on a Canadian scandal: When will Academia take a stand against entrenched "traditions" that bind society to a tribalistic past ? https://pacheco-torgal.blogspot.com/2020/12/when-will-academia-stop-acting-so.html I am convinced that a pivotal move toward the envisioned future requires the implementation of mandatory psychological assessments for candidates applying for positions as university professors and researchers. This essential measure is integral to guaranteeing that prospective individuals do not possess inclinations towards extreme sports fanaticism or, as I emphasized almost a month before Russia invaded Ukraine, nor do they exhibit tendencies toward warmongering—arguably the most severe academic offense, in my opinion. https://19-pacheco-torgal-19.blogspot.com/2022/01/a-mais-grave-infraccao-academica-que.html

Assunto: In the society of tomorrow, researchers will stand atop the food chain
Contrary to the recent, misguided assessment offered by the Vice President of Merck (please refer to the provided emails below), my genuine motivation does not revolve around seeking invitations. Instead, it is firmly rooted in the aspiration to contribute to the emergence of a groundbreaking "world" - a society characterized as - a civilization of Type One https://pacheco-torgal.blogspot.com/2019/10/the-role-of-academia-towards-type-1.html
Within the contours of this envisioned civilization, researchers would metaphorically occupy the zenith of the societal hierarchy, while football players would inevitably find themselves situated at its foundational tier. To elaborate further, those adept at manipulating a ball with their feet and heads would, metaphorically speaking, be relegated to a tier analogous to "monkeys," given the inherent triviality of their activities. This comparison is drawn particularly when contrasted with the pursuits of scientists. The actions of these athletes, characterized as mere antics, hold significantly diminished cultural value in comparison to the contributions of individuals engaged in vital endeavors, such as waste removal, as highlighted in an article published in The Economist last November. https://19-pacheco-torgal-19.blogspot.com/2023/12/disheartening-feelings-and-lavish.html

Thank you for your kind reply.
The prospect you highlighted hadn't previously entered my thoughts, but my genuine intentions are distinct, clear, and straightforward. Through your articulation, I perceive the unfolding of a new and awe-inspiring world. My objective is to play an active role in transforming that vision into reality. I aspire to disseminate this vision widely, connecting with a global audience through my blogs. It's noteworthy that my blogs have already reached scientists in over a hundred countries, with the top 10 frequent visitors hailing from the United States, Netherlands, Finland, France, Australia, the United Kingdom, Germany, Spain, Austria, and Canada.
Despite our diverse backgrounds and undoubtedly differing perspectives on various subjects, we do share a common goal—to underscore to society that scientists deserve a paramount position. As someone eloquently expressed in 1980, their mission revolves around unlocking the mysteries of the mind of God. https://pacheco-torgal.blogspot.com/2023/12/unveiling-true-currency-of-life.html
