Series:
THX Pulse — Real stories. Systemic failures. Human truths.
Summary:
In this deeply personal and analytical piece, I reflect on what happens when a nation begins to censor science—not just by banning books or defunding DEI, but by eliminating the research that gives people like me, my daughters, and millions of others a fighting chance.
This is not abstract. It’s medical. It’s emotional. It’s economic. And it’s dangerous.
Research allowed me to walk. To work. To chase my daughters. Now, that research—and the futures it makes possible—is being erased to satisfy ideological fear.
Through the THX frameworks, I show how this isn’t just a policy issue. It’s a moral failure with ripple effects across health, hope, and humanity.
Key Themes:
How research into marginalized groups is being cut or suppressed
The lived reality of walking the line between able-bodied and disabled
The cost of censorship on families, caregivers, and future generations
Personal stories of surviving a hurricane without accessible infrastructure
The economic and human cost of losing scientists, doctors, and medical innovation
Frameworks Used:
12 Utilities: Clarity, Access, Value, Security
PERMAH: Achievement, Meaning, Health & Wellbeing
Prospect Theory: The unseen cost of not knowing
Admiration Equation: Honoring truth-seekers, not silencing them

"This isn’t just about defunding projects. It’s about defunding people—the disabled, the vulnerable, the ones too complex to be politically convenient."
