(1/25) A number of Silicon Valley investors are putting their money and influence into a campaign to gaslight rape victims into not seeking medical treatment

despite the warnings of top law enforcement officials

and NOBODY is talking about this.

 (2/25) First, a little about me. I used to be a licensed sexual assault crisis counselor, counseling victims admitted to one of three Minneapolis emergency rooms.

After I'd speak to the victim, they'd receive a medical exam from a Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE).
(3/25) During the exam, DNA and other evidence is collected with a "rape kit" to optionally be used in a civil or criminal case.
(4/25) But collecting evidence is not the ONLY reason to receive an exam.

The victim may also receive:
- counseling (hello!)
- treatment for (potentially invisible) injuries
- medications like Plan B and emergency antiretroviral therapy for HIV prophylaxis.
(5/25) Leda Health, a startup cofounded by Madison Campbell and Liesel Vaidya, is raising money to sell "do-it-yourself" rape kits that wouldn't require a hospital visit

which is possibly the most HARMFUL startup idea that I have ever heard of.
(6/25) Leda Health's marketing is misleading to victims and may cause them to not seek critical and time-sensitive medical treatment.

Furthermore, rape kits in a hospital are protected. There needs to be a strong "chain of custody" or the kit will not be admissible in any court.
(7/25) The problem with any do-it-yourself rape kit is that it is impossible to guarantee that it has not been tampered with.

Such a kit cannot be admissible in court and may harm other efforts to collect evidence.
(8/25) Campbell has repeatedly been misleading about her kits' admissibility in court.

Leda Health used to be called "MeToo Kits" and they were widely panned in the press for both their tasteless name and their nonsensical plan.

https://t.co/LrGgiCaJGK

https://t.co/3rk0rK2sgF
(9/25) These are some victim advocacy orgs have criticized MeToo Kits:

- Minnesota Coalition Against Sexual Assault
- End Rape on Campus
- New York City Alliance Against Sexual Assault
- The Aurora Center (my old org)
- National Alliance to End Sexual Violence
- HAVEN
- CAPPA
(10/25) Governments have also sharply rebuked MeToo Kits:

Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel issued a cease-and-desist to MeToo Kits under the Michigan Consumer Protection Act--arguing that MeToo Kits "misleads victims."

https://t.co/EO0Xpcx1Q6
(11/25) MeToo Kits received similar responses from attorneys general in Virginia, North Carolina, New York, and Oklahoma--and the Manhattan District Attorney's Office.

https://t.co/P6K9tmoBhU

https://t.co/5dFHnXoiJ5

https://t.co/IhQk5Ffw04

https://t.co/BJhHPp7d74
(12/25) Even members of Congress have responded.

Congresswoman Sylvia Garcia and 15 colleagues sent a letter to Madison and MeToo Kits warning about the medical and legal issues of DIY rape kits.

https://t.co/TPC64uSmuD
(13/25) Campbell never says out loud that victims shouldn't go to the hospital,

but as per the attorneys general and district attorneys, she doesn't have to.

The kits are misleading nonetheless.
(14/25) While victim advocates, law enforcement officials, and members of Congress aren't falling for Campbell's claims, Silicon Valley tech investors are.

Campbell rebranded "MeToo Kits" to "Leda Health" and started raising money.
(15/25) Campbell is also a member of On Deck (https://t.co/iy7yZpmhlp)--a fellowship aimed at training the tech executives of tomorrow.

They just redesigned their website, and Campbell is a featured case study.
(16/25) When MeToo Kits rebranded to Leda Health, they removed information from their new website.

Later, Campbell insisted in an interview that the kits would be "encrypted and backed with blockchain technology."

as if that were the real problem.

https://t.co/3ZTVBDweA7
(17/25) Blockchains are a solution for establishing chains of custody for digital assets like Bitcoin

but they don't solve the chain of custody issue for biological evidence of a crime.
(18/25) The Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner serves as an approximately neutral party and the hospital is physically secure enough to guard against tampering.

DIY kits or "the blockchain" will **NEVER** achieve this, and Campbell is being misleading about this to raise money.
(19/25) It's not clear if Leda Health has pivoted away from selling fake rape kits, but what little public evidence is still available indicates they haven't.

Last August, they applied for a USPTO trademark for marketing rape kits.

https://t.co/iJi2VqBZeq
(20/25) There is also Campbell's Twitter, where she is building the rape kits "in public."

#BuildInPublic
(21/25) But even if they have pivoted,

given Madison Campbell's commitment to selling inadmissible kits

even after being censured by law enforcement officials and members of Congress,

we can't trust her to not break the law in the future.
(22/25) The way to improve the system is to train more Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners and increase the throughput for processing cases.

DIY kits or the goddamn "blockchain" are false flags. Their marketing misleads rape victims and is a danger to the justice system.
(23/25) Law enforcement action against the company, like the cease-and-desist from the Michigan Attorney General, did not stop Campbell from continuing on a path that may harm rape victims and possibly violate US law.
(24/25) This might be a legal fantasy, but I think the only solution is for the government to pierce the corporate veil

and pursue individual criminal charges against founders Madison Campbell and Liesel Vaidya.
(25/25) And for the investors?

They're all people I respect. I hope they aren't mad at me. I'm assuming they just didn't know what they were getting into.

But as a philosopher once said,

the road to... tampering evidence in rape cases... is paved with good intentions.

"A trend once established, is more likely to continue than it is to reverse"

A thread on Trend (Market structure)-


A trend is a path of least resistance, basically the side where the smart money is betting upon.

And our work is to be on their side, to make some money.

Why do we use trend?

In an uptrend, the sum of the rallies will always be greater than the sum of the declines.

In a downtrend, the sum of the declines will always be greater than the sum of the rallies.

How to Find the trend?

There are 3 methods which one can use-

1. Swing points method.
2. Moving averages.
3. Trend lines, channels.

1. Trend identification by using swing points-

• UPTREND in simple words - Higher highs, higher lows

• DOWNTREND in simple words - lower lows, lower highs.


• Flat trend - The price stays in a range

A former CIA math genius built a quantitative trading fund that earned more than $100 BILLION for investors.

At 66% return/yr, his track record destroys that of Warren Buffet, George Soros, Carl Icahn, and every investor who ever lived.

The Smartest Billionaire in Finance:


1/28
If you'd have put $100 into Jim Simons' Medallion Fund in 1988, it would be $400M+ today.

By contrast,

$100 in the S&P 500 in 1988, would be $2,000 in 2022. (roughly)

Let that sink in.

2/28
Jim Simons's Medallion fund has had unreasonably high annual returns of 66% across 30 years.

For comparison, Buffet clocked in at about 20%/yr.

Many funds don't make that in a lifetime.

3/28
Even during the financial crisis of 2008, it made a net return of 82.38%.

They make so much money for their investors that they charge 44% in management fees.

The industry standard is 20%.


4/28
It uses math calculations to decide the bulk of its trades, & none of the market trends apply to how it performs.

It wins by finding order in chaos.

The fund is managed by Renaissance Technologies, the parent company founded by the mathematical genius Jim Simons.

While studying her Twitter profile and with constant talks with her, I found these to be the most important patterns she focuses on always.

Then I wrote a small summary of what each pattern means.

Also attached are some examples from her tweets.

Happens during an uptrend.

The cup portion has a U-shaped appearance.

The bears are getting weaker as they are unable to drive the prices below the last low.

Ever notice how the top niches are centered around health, wealth, and relationships?

There's a deep-rooted psychological (and biological) reason why.

And today, I'm gonna to explain all of it so you can start profiting off of this knowledge 💰💰

*Now, this thread is going to be long and in depth. Make sure to favorite the top tweet now so you can come back to it later.

So. Down to the very core of every living being (humans, dolphins, bacteria, aliens), there are only two drivers:
1. To survive
2. To reproduce

Right off the bat, we know that sex is a primary driver to human behavior.

This would also mean that each gender has its own insecurities regarding sex.

Men have a subconscious fear that their woman will leave them for someone more successful

Women have a fear that their man will leave them for someone younger & better-looking

We can conclude that men are attracted to looks, and women are attracted to status.

This is human nature down to its very core.

Crazy, blue-haired feminists will try to argue and say otherwise.

But, 50 years of feminism DOES NOT OVERRIDE millions of years of evolutionary biology.

Here's a quick visualization exercise so you can see how true all this is...

TILAK:AN AGE OLD PRACTICE OF HINDUS

The beautiful Matribhumi of Bharat is the land of many religions &cultures but its Hinduism with which the world identifies this great Nation. Hinduism is the religion with science at its heart &its also a religion of many rituals &traditions.


Today we will talk about a very prominent and noticeable Mark on the foreheads of #Hindus called 'Tilak'. Tilaks are of different designs and colors. It symbolizes different meanings for different people such as religious expression, spiritual symbol, marital status etc.


Tilak is a very alluring design that is made in between the eyebrows. Vermilion, Chandan, Turmeric, Kumkum, Rice and Rice water, Vibhuti etc can all be used as Tilaks.
Why this particular spot is used for Tilak? Bcoz, it is mentioned as 'Ajna Chakra' in terms of yoga.


This chakra is the sixth & most important chakra of the human body. It's the junction where the highest number of neurons meet & is described as most important and sensitive spot in the human body.Different #Hindu traditions use different shapes and ingredients to make the Tilak.


SPIRITUAL SIGNIFICANCE

Various Hindu Scriptures mention the importance of Tilak in Sanatan Dharma. It is believed that energy, strength and divinity comes to those who apply Tilak. It is also regarded as a welcoming expression and to honour the guests when they arrive.

Beautiful Story of Guruvayurappan

Poonathanam Namboothiri was a great devotee of Guruvayurappan. One day Poonthanam was going to Guruvayur Kshetram. It was night time and eventhough Namboothiri was tired he continued to walk


Suddenly some thieves came and blocked his way. Poonthanam cried for Shri Krishna to help. Thieves snatched all valuables from him, but Namboothiri holding his Bhaghavatam book called Shri Krishna to help. That time a man came in a horse back and fought with thieves and protected


Namboothiri. Poonthanam thanked Krishna for helping him from danger and said to the man that "Shri Krishna has send you here and I don't know how to thank you".  The man smiled and told that he is Mangattachan, minister of  samoodhiris. Poonthanam once again thanked him and


gave his ring to Mangattachan as a token of thanks and continued his journey. He reached Guruvayur early morning for Nirmalya Darshan. Temple poojari came near him and told that Guruvayurappan came in his dreams and asked to hand over the ring to poonthanam.


When he opened Kshetra Nada poonthanam was surprised to see his ring on Guruvayurappan, which he gifted to Mangattachan. He understood that it was Guruvayurappan who came as Mangattachan to protect him. This is how Bhagwan treat his devotees.

THREAD: 15 of the most useful razors and rules I've found.

Rules of thumb that simplify decisions.

Bezos' Razors:

• If unsure what action to take, let your 80-year-old self make it.

• If unsure who to work with, pick the person that has the best chances of breaking you out of a 3rd world prison.

Skinner's Law:

• If procrastinating on an item, you only have 2 options:

1. Make the pain of not doing it greater than the pain of doing it.

2. Make the pleasure of doing it greater than the pleasure of not doing it.

Luck Razor:

• If stuck with 2 equal options, pick the one that feels like it will produce the most luck later down the line.

I used this razor to go for drinks with a stranger rather than watch Netflix.

In hindsight, it was the highest ROI decision I've ever made.

Bragging Razor:

• If someone brags about their success or happiness, assume it’s half what they claim.

• If someone downplays their success or happiness, assume it’s double what they claim.

The map is not the terrain.

Bhu Varaha Swamy Temple

Bhu Varaha Swamy temple is a Hindu temple, located at Srimushnam, in the South Indian state of Tamil Nadu. Constructed in the Dravidian style of architecture...


the temple is dedicated to Varaha (Bhu Varaha Swamy), the boar-avatar of the god Vishnu and his consort Lakshmi as Ambujavalli Thayar.

The temple had contributions from Medieval Cholas of the 10th century with later expansions by Thanjavur Nayak king Achuthappa Nayak.


A granite wall surrounds the temple, enclosing all the shrines and the temple tanks. There is a seven-tieredrajagopuram, the temple’s gateway tower.

Six daily rituals and three yearly festivals are held at the temple, of which the Chariot festival....


celebrated during the Tamil month of Vaikasi (April–May), being the most prominent. The festival also symbolises Hindu-Muslim unity in the region – the flag of the chariot is provided by Muslims; they take offerings from the temple and present to Allah in the mosques.
