I wholeheartedly agree with everything you've said .

Funnily enough I quit studying medicine for some of the very same reasons. I just couldn't be happy being part of all that. So many students, new graduates and even doctors do care but the whole thing is built on perpetuating models driven by profit, quotas and targets. In the UK for example, doctors don't have time for patients anymore and are highly pressured ( which no doubt increases human error etc). Using AI will just be treating the symptom as it were.

Even education and research is driven by pharma companies and yes, healthy/empowered people aren't very profitable to anyone. My wish is that we see open source medicine, science and research at some point.

At the root of things, society is unhealthy because it is dominated by parasitic mindsets (still present because of unawareness of this energetic disconnection within ourselves). As such, many technologies and systems (including governing ones) are created from a mindset of inner disconnection which will most likely end up benefiting elites or even harming and "parasitizing" both people and ecosystems as a result.

I love the idea of platforms like Steem where knowledge can be shared freely and people can grow in their own awareness -- hopefully this will help us collectively take more empowered decisions and continue spreading some awareness!

I was preparing for the MCAT and was "pre-med." My plan was to go to UMAB, University of Maryland's Medical School, in Baltimore, MD. I was accepted into the MLT Bachelor's program because of my good grades.

They wanted over 1,000 dollars just for my lab fees though. I was broke and could not afford to go even after being accepted. If I had the money back then, I would have gone through the BS program and easily have gone on to medical school.

It just wasn't meant to happen.

Gosh, to think that 1000 dollars then might've changed the course of your entire life!

Life has never followed my plans thankfully. I'm inclined to think if it did, I'd probably be quite unfulfilled :)

At the time I was at UMBC (close to UMAB), and I was so broke even with two jobs, grants, scholarships, and loans that I was eating out of vending machines and starving. haha I had to give up and move back in with a brother of mine. It just wasn't working.

That is very true life plans wise. Even the bad things that happen to us open doors and lead to positive previously unthought of things in the future. I have no regrets! :)
