Plagiarism

Gay's future career as Harvards new president is looking quite bleak. What did she think? She wouldn't get caught? What was her reason? Status? Money?
"fake it till you make it"?
Well, she made it alright., and as quickly as she recieved her new position it is danger of it being taken away. (check update below)
Plagiarism, in the political arena, is considered a "crime" and can get you sent to jail and with a hefty fine. Plagiarism is "illegal" in every "country".
But this is past what is legal or illegal, more importantly, it is unethical to steal and to also claim what is not yours as your own is even more so and immoral. None want to be robbed. No one likes a thief. No functional rational being would want to partake in thievery, even if they do sometimes (due to survival needs).
It continues to say,
Harvard, in particular, has a strict policy on these matters. If a current Harvard student were to commit violations of the same nature as Gay’s, it would lead to “disciplinary action, up to and including requirement to withdraw from the College.” The same standard should apply to the university president.
What hypocrisy it is to punish the rest of the world around you for something you yourself are very guilty of and knew about it.
Is it hard to be authentic?
Harvard, ultimately, has become a breeding farm for far leftists and has steered away from its traditional values to bring about top educated people into the world. In its recent history we have seen a rise in wokism and Harvard being on the front lines of that advancement. So the question I have is, will her replacement be just another woke tard?
Update:
So much for "strict policy",
Harvard has refused to fire her. Thus setting the bias example to the world that they approve of thievery and a lack of a spine.
They supposedly "need her" to continue with the woke agenda, not what they claim. The dumbing down of the world education has always been an elitist agenda. And Harvard is primarily owned by "Mr. Burns".
I say all this because, actions speak louder than words and that is what they had done. Spread leftists ideologs and wokism crap.
What was once a prestigious college is now just another clown school. Or maybe it always has been?

Your better off joining stem field schools folks. Get yourselves ready into blue collar jobs. Even better, become your own boss!(if you can). Either way, getting the "know hows", can serve you well in countries where they don't care if you have a license just experience instead such as but not limited to:
- brick or block laying
- Tiles
- Electrical
- Welding
- Plumbing
- Painting
- Mowing Grass
- Pressure washing
- Window cleaner
- Freelance
As for plagiarists in Blurt in general, I doubt that once we start publicly pointing them out on our weekly posts, people will continue to vote on you for longer. So enjoy it while it lasts ;) Oh, especially when there is an automated comment following your every post alerting the public with evidence of your thievery for the rest of your blockchain days.
I just need someone with the know hows to help me set that up. Any volunteers? I'll write a seperate post on this on its own.
I won't do it for the"LAW" or to better the value of the BLURT token or to exert "authority" or of the like.
To even consciously reward that behaviour, is akin to doing or assisting the dirty deed yourself.
I'll let all loose what was found and let the public see for themselves the results. And if a repeat of patterns ensue throughout their time history here posting, I'll anchor the comment bot to follow said individual on all his posts and comments. Alerting the world he is a known plaigarizer, and present the taste in the pudding. Buahahaha how evil of me.
Besides, if it brings some lulz and popcorn moments to the grounds when they try so hard to defend themselves and cover up, even after being caught, I'm sure thât will provide some entertainment for the blurt community.
"If you want the job done right do it yourself."
That's all I have to say about that. Not sure if it's 100% right or perfect, but something is better than nothing.
The comment bot idea to follow abuse on the chain could also be implemented by others. Do it for your own self. No one is stopping you from doing so.

Voting
In my last post I asked the public what they base their voting on?
I wasn't specific with the question to allow free room to free think. So no right or wrong answers. Just opinions and their own interpretation of what voting means to them on the surface.
You may still respond to that go free for all on it here:
What do you base your decicions on when it comes to voting?
Here is what I personally have to say about voting.
What is "voting?"
- It is the act of making a decision for change.
- it is the act of making a decision for change, as an individual or group/collective, for your own self, others or an organization.
- Can be useful tool to support an idea
Voting can be(doesn't need to be) tallied and registered, The mere act of writing down the votes is a record. Everything we write down instantly becomes a physical expression, on paper (or on stone, digitized, whatever). These expressions leaves a mark in history allowing the rest involved in the vote to take it into account. Thus a change is made as a result.
In the political realm is no different as to what was said above, except that it is a criminal act because of the immoral incentives behind the vote. This doesn't necessarily mean that as a whole in general makes "voting" itself a criminal act.
Voting itself is a good thing because it serves as a useful rool for change. It is only when the incentives are immoral and unethical that it becomes wrong.
You may be asking what is behind the incentive, to make the political vote a criminal act. I'll tell you.
In all fields in the political spectrum, every vote is, at its roots, the enforcement of ideas onto unwilling participants.
When you take your illusionary authority glasses off and see through clear lenses, you will recognize that all laws are nothing but commands backed by with the threat of violence to those who disobey. That is it. There is nothing about it that is based on ethics or morals, because it only used to obtain revenue for the "$tate" and as Larken put it:
When bible thumpers push to vote...
The obvious thing:
"Voting" for content on Blurt
You can call it "like"/"gusto" when you click on the up arrow. All it is to toss a coin over to your fellow blurtanian/blurtian on their post and comments. IMO, all "votes" on these platforms are just donations. It's a social platform with social credit rewards. It's also a free market space to provide your own services and goods. It's what you bring to the table, the value that you put forth that in turn you attract. You get what you attract by what you put out.
Maybe you should use this platform more as that, than a place to play instagram photo shoots of your cat and food pics, but apparently there is a high demand for mundane things.
Too much of one thing however and it can be overwhelmingly become an echo chamber and then watch user growth and activity slow down and price drop too. Not that it matter much.
Is Hive have a default payout cap on votes? If so will this help us here in this ever increasing deflation of value in the vote strength and allow the pools recourses to highten up a bit. Would also help if the blurt token was NOT being double printed.

Of course we don't have the downvote option to remove rewards, thankfully. But the capping idea sounds interesting, and to discourage auto votes and encourage organic votes.
Of course I would never tell you what you cannot vote for. The transparency deaign of this chain will show where everyone is at in their heads. Value of each post is on the eye of the beholder. Judge accordingly and responsibly.
What do I base my vote on?
On Blurt:
I have been known to vote on content I don't even agree on completely. This is the point of leaving behind a comment in the comment section to express concerns, ideas, rebuttals, arguments, debates, etc. It's your natural right to do so. And if you don't want to be censored on blurt because of snowflakes:
Voting in the political realm:
Definitely NOT my cup of tea. As I said above, it's a criminal act and thus I never vote for anything in that realm, even if it gets me arrested. I believe it entirely illusionary and voting never really changes anything. Or it may be illegal if it did (Emma Goldman reference again).

Responding to some questions and comments before I wrap this up.
@libermonte is a new user here on blurt. I find him to be of interest. Wish you the best of of luck here.
I take it you are not new to hive or steemit? Blurt runs pretty much the same way as those two. Steemit is the mother of the two and Hive is a sister chain of Blurt. If you need tutorials how dpos operates I'm sure the community can pitch in. Right readers??
There are some apps you may want to try like the blurt key app available for pc, android and apple, which helps facilitate bcurrency transactions across this chain. It can also do power ups and powerdowns, and saves your keys for quick safe access.
I have no clue why it called follow, maybe because it does follow their post on your feed? Your more than welcome to start your own path here fellow lone wolf attract your audience. Who you "follow" or not is your choice. It cojld be called subscribe but it wouldn't change the underling fact that you would be choosing to see their future posts on your person feed. That is all that button does.
@world-travel-pro I never once said or claim "hate" this platform. Quite the opposite actually. Nor do I have the notion to do absolutely nothing about improving it. We each have our disagreements though. But hate? Strong use of words there. Not at all accurate.
Fuck government , it can not tell me what i must be or do .
It has no right to interfere in what i do with approval of the owner on his private property . Free market must be free from governance by a criminal non existing force . My labor is my private property and no one else may take (steal) any of the profits coming out of it .
I don't work or care for country's or stupid government ,. i work for private people on their private property . I found a spot to do this and live a good life now ,. in fact , so much work here i can do , i am already asked to never leave again . And if you are done living like a company slave ,. come over here , i could need a electrician down here like you . Besides that i will learn you many other things ,. like welding , mechanic , excavating and other things .
Taking them on manually one by one for now ,. so yes a bot for that would be great . But can you make a bot do the Ai and copy paste check ?
