“…Science is a magnificent force, but it is not a teacher of morals. It can perfect machinery, but it adds no moral restraints to protect society from the misuse of the machine. It can also build gigantic intellectual ships, but it constructs no moral rudders for the control of storm-tossed human vessels. It not only fails to supply the spiritual element needed, but some of its unproven hypotheses rob the ship of its compass and thus endanger its cargo…”
You are invited to join author and University of Michigan law professor Barbara McQuade and moderator Dave (Doc) Dockery, president of the Tampa Bay Technology Center, at
Dunedin Public Library, 223 Douglas Ave, Dunedin, FL 34698
From 3:00 pm – 4:30 pm
University of Michigan Law Professor Barbara McQuade discussed the details of her book, offered solutions, and aimed to inspire a national conversation about renewing this country as a democracy. This event, held in Dunedin, Florida (Home of the Toronto Blue Jays), was free to attend.
DISINFORMATION AND THE POLARIZATION OF THE AMERICAN FOUNDATION
Professor McQuade is an MSNBC’s legal expert, broke down the ways disinformation has become a tool to drive voters to extremes, disempower our legal structures, and consolidate power in the hands of the few.
Most importantly, she comprehensively explained how disinformation impacts democracy and offered practical solutions for strengthening the public, media, and truth-based politics.

Professor McQuade articulates a similar argument that confounds the in that American society is more polarized than ever before and is being “strategically pushed apart” by disinformation-the deliberate spreading of lies disguised as truth—and it comes at us from all opportunists on the far right, Russian misinformed social media influencers, among others. It’s endangering our democracy and causing havoc in our electoral system, schools, hospitals, workplaces, and the Capitol.
“Advances in technology, including rapid developments in artificial intelligence, threaten to worsen the problems by amplifying false claims and manufacturing credibility.”

PAIN AND THE RULE OF LAW
Medical Providers find themselve and their families in their “War on the D.E.A.,” similiarly at odds with Law Enforcement and Prosecutors.
Recently, Dr. Sharvani Durbhakula, MD., wrote on March 24, 2024, Opinion New York Times.
“My mother-in-law’s anguish before she passed away in July 2022 mirrors the broader struggle of countless individuals grappling with pain. I’m still haunted by the fact that my husband and I, both anesthesiologists and pain physicians who have made it our life’s work to alleviate the suffering of those in pain, could not help her. It is no wonder that our patients are frustrated.
They do not understand why we, doctors whom they trust, send them on wild goose chases. They do not understand how pharmacies fail to provide the medications they need to function. They do not understand why the system makes them feel like “drug seekers.”
The Drug Enforcement Administration chains health care professionals and pharmacies in this country.
Our patients’ stress is not the result of an orchestrated set of practice guidelines or a comprehensive clinical policy but rather one government agency’s crude, broad-stroke technique to mitigate a public health crisis through manufacturing limits — the gradual and repeated rationing of how much opioids can be produced by legitimate entities.
This is a bad and ineffective strategy to solving the opioid crisis, and it’s incumbent on us to hand the reins of authority over to public health institutions better suited to the task…”
DISINFORMATION SEEPING INTO ALL FACETS OF OUR SOCIETY
Richard A. Lawhern is an independent researcher who has studied the intersection of drug policy and pain treatment for more than 20 years; pointed out in Reason Online Magazine’s April 15, 2024 article Government Data Refute the Notion That Overprescribing Caused the ‘Opioid Crisis’,
“..the CDC’s numbers show that pain treatment is not responsible for escalating drug-related deaths. It may not be going too far to suggest that much of U.S. public health policy regarding the medical treatment of people in pain is fraudulent.
The authors of the opioid prescribing guidelines that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) published in 2016 and 2022, for example, knew quite well that their recommendations, which resulted in widespread undertreatment and patient abandonment, did not have a sound scientific basis…”
DISINFORMATION AND PAIN CARE
In “Attack from Within,” legal scholar and analyst Barbara McQuade shows us how to identify the ways disinformation is seeping into all facets of our society and how we can fight against it.
In her lecture at the Public Library Dunedin, Fl., Professor McQuade points out disinformation is designed to evoke a strong emotional response to push us toward more extreme views, unable to find common ground with others.
The false claims that led to the breathtaking attack on our Capitol in 2020 may have been only a dress rehearsal. Attack from Within shows us how to prevent it from happening again, thus preserving our country’s hard-won democracy.
