Impossible Cure Newsletter -- Spring 2023

I'm Back!

It's been a long time since an Impossible Cure newsletter went out. But I have a good reason for the delay. Over the past year and half, my husband Steve and I drove cross country four times (about 20,000 miles) in order to choose our new homeland, We then bought a new house, sold our old one (where we had lived for 38 years), and moved all of our accumulated belongings to Greenville, South Carolina. Believe me, my hair is grayer and I have a lot more wrinkles than in the picture shown here!

I know the article below has nothing to do with homeopathy... or does it? It is a reflection on what happened to my former homeland -- the San Francisco Bay Area, aka Silicon Valley. In many ways, the changes that occurred there represent the very opposite of what homeopathy stands for. Rather than celebrating the amazing self-healing wonders that we are, the new ethos of Silicon Valley -- epitomized by the rush toward transhumanism -- is fundamentally about the notion that we are all just machines that need constant propping up in order to function.

Now that my life is slowly coming back to some semblance of "normal", I hope to resume more regular newsletters. And a lot is brewing in the homeopathic world these days -- the most important development (especially in the USA) being the continued attack on our access to remedies. But I believe that that and the continued attack on homeopathy itself is all part and parcel of the "new world order" being foisted upon us all.

At this juncture, I think it's extremely important to stay focused on what we want in the future, not what we don't want. And when I envision that better future, the first thing that always springs to mind is that health care will begin, first and foremost, with homeopathy!

What Happened to Silicon Valley?

It’s been about a year since I posted my last blog article, “Looking for America”. Steve and I did finally find our new homeland. We moved to South Carolina in September 2022, arriving for good at our new home exactly one year, to the day, after we originally left on our first voyage of discovery in September 2021. It was a long and exhausting year, and I didn’t have any time for writing! Rest assured, I will write an article about the completion of our journey — to be titled “Finding America” — in the near future. In the meantime, though, I was inspired to write the article below, reflecting on what happened to Silicon Valley over the 45 years I lived there. Even if California’s fires, drought, and COVID policies disappeared tomorrow, Steve and I grew to realize that the part of the world we had called home for so many years had become out of alignment with who we are now and what we value.

Let me start at the beginning. Well, my beginning. I arrived in the San Francisco Bay Area during the summer of 1977, ready to start a PhD program in computer science at Stanford University. As was true then and is still true today, Stanford is one of the top three computer science schools in the USA, probably the world. I was the only woman in my entering class, and for a few years, there were only two women PhD students in the entire department. At that time, there was no undergraduate major in computer science (CS) and the department was housed in a small cluster of makeshift buildings on the outskirts of campus. Today, computer science is the number one undergraduate major at Stanford and the department is housed in a gigantic and rather grim building, Gates Hall, built with money contributed by — you guessed it — Bill Gates. Perhaps that alone says it all.
