Projexus is quickly becoming a scientific staple in the thriving city of Florespark, pushing the envelope in developing new avenues for the advancement of not only its citizens but humanity itself. Owner and founder, Lincoln Eusebio, has long been fascinated by improving the quality of life through the investigation of transhumanism’s basic principles: super longevity, super intelligence, and super wellness. While this area of scientific research is new enough to still receive criticism about its credibility and real-world applications, it remains a well-respected endeavor. Lincoln Eusebio may not himself be a scientist, but he has used his impressive wealth to bring on some of the most brilliant minds currently working and breaking new ground in the scientific community to build up his team. Dr. Altona Daniels is one such hire. She is an astounding physicist in her own right, and her arrival at Projexus proved that the company champions excellence and cultivates talent. Dr. Daniels graduated with honors from Florespark Baptist University and was even a star athlete playing competitive soccer for FBU, proving herself to be a perfect mix of brawn and brains.

That is why I find it troublesome that Projexus and Mr. Eusebio have recently made headlines for hiring a biologist and archaeologist, most famously known for promoting dangerous, wrong thinking, pseudoscience, and magical thinking. Dr. Sally Rodell loves the camera and uses her good looks and charm to manipulate herself into holding high positions in places where she is otherwise unqualified. She claims to have studied abroad, making finding her educational records unusually difficult. This alleged scientist believes in angels, dragons, demons, the existence of magic, and even led a quest to discover the legendary kingdom of Shambhala, known only from Tibetan mythology. The expedition, not surprisingly, yielded no results and cost millions of dollars in misappropriated private funding that could have been spent much more thoughtfully. When questioned about her lack of positive outcome, Dr. Sally Rodell playfully replied, saying, “Shambhala still awaits,” seemingly having learned absolutely nothing from the ordeal. This is typical of how Dr Sally Rodell plays up for the press and refuses to take any accountability for her ill-fated scientific excursions, happy to make her employers have to foot the bill for her exploits. What else would you expect from someone who dresses more like a socialite than a serious scientist and happily accepts sponsorship deals from elitist designers, which really makes one wonder, what is she really after?
