What is correct information?

The Higher the attainment of knowledge and Buddhi,
the Lesser the suffering, the Higher the Quality of Life.
Buddhi is a word from the Indian ancient Pali language. It is herein defined as the constant pursuit for raising knowledge, alertness, skeptical thinking, increasing analytical power, to explore, improve further and control the cognitive ability of mind, so as to avoid preconceived ideas, to perceive things as they are, to gain wisdom for understanding correctly and making wise decisions.
We are all, today, living in what has been termed the ‘Information Age’, with a shift from traditional industry to an economy based on information technology, defined
by the rapid, widespread access to information, facilitated by computers, the internet, and digital tools. Data has became easy to store, manipulate, and disseminate, transforming it
into a primary economic driver.
Howvever, we have, and are, living with its impact - some good and beneficial, some not so good, even detrimental - on our Lives. It has increasingly shifted traditional social
interaction to social media; it has enabled rapid communication (email and texting for example), and automated many work processes.
While increasing access to knowledge and education, it has brought societal challenges such as privacy concerns, information overload, and the spread of misinformation - so
much so that, with the seeemingly unstoppable march of Artificial Intelligence (AI), it is becoming increasingly difficult and concerning to know what information we have, and
are being given, is correct and what is incorrect.

To begin to understand what correct information is, and can be, keep the following in mind;
- We are living in a jail created by our own current civilization which is a Death Marketing & Death Management civilization for selling wars and selling war machines and for selling diseases and selling cures..
- We are Hypnotized, our minds are blocked and we are forced to hear and understand only what is deemed suitable by the dishonest Governments, scientists and Media to keep us waging wars and to live a life with diseases and morbidity.
- Our fears and ignorance are the necessities for the success of the business of Marketing Death, diseases and cures.
Many people the world over will play on fear and ignornace to either project their thoughts and ideas or market products - sometimes for considerable amounts of money and that can be proven to not work or, in the case of social media myth, be untrue.
Here are a few totally untrue myths relating to chemistry that are permeating the lives of 'ignorant' people all over the world:- Plastic in the microwave releases dioxins.
- Ice cream contains beaver butt extract.
- Margarine is one molecule away from plastic.
- GM corn is tainted with Agent Orange.
- Chemicals in non-stick pans are linked to smaller penises.
- Determining ‘Radiesthetic colors’ in humans can cure disease.
- Alkaline water fights cancer.
- Alpha Spin fully optimizes the body’s molecular functions via resonance.
- Although the source of correct information will always be the peer reviewed findings of research studies, validated by the general consensus of honest scientific communities, the same Research Studies are not protected by any suitably reformed Clinical Research Regulation. As a result many clinical research studies on health, nutrition and cures, are heavily infested and manipulated for their own ends by vested interests, such as drug manufacturers and the food industry.
- On the top everyone, ranging from scientific experts, lay experts, some clerics, and those irresponsible media who do not have their own Board of honest Health Experts,
or those who do not feel it is necessary to critically review the compliancy of ethics, honesty, and scientific methods in research studies and the need to understand and
evaluate the correct message of research findings, while venting their ambition in providing news for public as custodian of health information providers, either for the
mercenary gains or for the public acclaim and fame.
Therefore; Research Study findings - that have no verifiable evidence based information, have become the best source to misguide the general public for selling disease and cures.
Dishonest, unverified Research studies, unregulated by any a strong global fence of stringent law, are being used to distract honest Medical Science from its main ethics (that is, to promote Health and provide cures) into selling diseases and selling cures.
Joe Schwarcz, Director of McGill University, Office for Science and Society, says, “Just a few examples of the chemical wisdom that permeates the media, regularly spewed out by self-declared sages. The problem is that they get the chemistry all wrong. It’s time to get it right.”

Identifying Reliable Information
To determine if information is correct, apply the CRAAP test: check the Currency (timeliness), Relevance (to information sought), Authority (author/source credibility), Accuracy (evidence/verification), and Purpose (bias). Verify claims by cross-checking with reputable, established media, academic sources, or official channels, rather than relying on social media or emotionally charged, sensational headlines.
Key Strategies for Identifying Reliable Information:
- Check Authority:
Investigate the author's credentials, experience, and reputation to ensure they are a knowledgeable expert in the field. - Cross-Reference (Multiple Sources):
If the information is accurate, it should appear in multiple, independent sources, particularly official government or reputable news websites. - Check for Bias and Purpose:
Determine if the information is meant to inform, teach, sell, entertain, or persuade. Be wary of strong emotional language that aims to trigger a reaction rather than inform. - Examine Evidence:
Look for citations, links, and supporting data. Vague claims like “studies show” without specific references are red flags. - Evaluate Date (Currency):
Verify when the information was published or updated, as old content can be misleading in fields that evolve, such as technology or medicine. - Use Fact-Checking Tools:
Consult dedicated tools such as Google's Fact Check Tool or Snopes.
Red Flags of Misinformation:
- Sensational or “clickbait” headlines.
- Lack of a byline or author credentials.
- Arguments that lack evidence or rely entirely on personal opinion.
- Information that contradicts established scientific or historical consensus without credible proof.
Tip:
If you are unsure of the validity or content of the information and hesitant about sharing, then you should probably not share it.
Buddhi - for the pursuit of Understanding
In regard to human Health, despite the achievements of Medical Science in understanding factors responsible for our health which ranges across many areas from ecology, social, economic to political; to pathogens like viruses, Viroid bacteria, Fungi, Parasites, Microbiota, Prions to Genetic Modification (GM), and despite the ongoing success in curing of many kind of diseases - including some kinds of cancers, transplanting organs, and nore, we live with more diseases and morbidity. Occurrence of diseases, pain and sufferings… crippled health and untimely aging has steeply increased although overall life expectancy has increased.
Similarly, regarding World Peace, despite oceans of information we have from Religions, and despite the central theme in the messages of every religion, which is for the well-being of not only one specific population but for all of humanity, we remain divided into small camps of National boundaries and of Religions. Humans remaind engaged in disliking, killing, and massacaring each other in the name of God and Religion.
Nothing but knowledge and understanding of Buddhi can help mankind reduce suffering and improve quality of life. Only Buddhi can help people understand the exact cause of suffering and help find means and ways to bring improvement - initially in oneself that will ultimately beget a 'Buddhiman' (correctly informed) - and ultimtely a Knowledgeable society …… This is the ultimate panacea for all kinds of Human suffering, whether they be hunger, poverty, disease, discrimination, or conflict.
Fortunately, there is no lack of honest people and organizations who are sincerely and honestly dedicated to promoting correct knowledge, but the success is in every body’s efforts to understand the necessity of empowering oneself with only the correct knowledge for making informed wise decisions.
