Standard Introduction

Welcome to, as that robot voice says, The Naturocrit Podcast, and thank you for boldly listening.

What ARE we even talking about?

Well, this podcast series is my take on naturopathic medicine, an area I've been studying for about thirty-three years, including my time in so-called 'scientific nonsectarian naturopathic medical school'.

My approach is a pairing of scientific skepticism and a deep knowledge of naturopathy's intimate details.

In previous episodes of this series, I established that naturopathy is, essentially, a kind of knowledge blending, misrepresentation, and irrationality.

I have termed naturopathy both 'an epistemic conflation falsely posing itself as an epistemic delineation' and 'the naturopathillogical':

the science-exterior is mixed with what is scientific, then that whole muddle is absurdly claimed to be science as an entire category, while particular sectarian science-ejected oath-obligations and -requirements are coded or camouflaged, therein effectively disguising naturopathy's system of beliefs in public view.

Naturopathy's ultimate achievement is a profound erosion of scientific integrity and freedom of belief packaged in the marketing veneers "natural, holistic, integrative and alternative" and improperly embedded in the academic category "science".

Synopsis

In this second part of the Naturocrit Podcast Episode 016 titled “The Cullen-Snyder Framework and AI-LLM Applications of That Framework,” I will cover:

• Past Complaints and Totalitarianism Musings, which includes:

> Applying the CSF to 2003 archived material;

 

> Musing about Orwell’s 1984 and my life [really!];

The Summary of CSF Applications #001-005 and ct.gov as the Ministry of Truth

here, musing on the parallels between the State of Connecticut's naturopathy partnership and Orwell's Ministry of Truth in 1984:

["The Ministry of Truth in George Orwell's 1984 can be best described with adjectives such as deceptive, propagandistic, manipulative, authoritarian, Orwellian, dystopian, misleading, bureaucratic, oppressive, and paradoxical."]

001. using the CSF Applications #001-005 summary section of the Naturocrit Podcast's Episode 016a, Perplexity was tasked with this question [the bracketed quote above is from said AI-LLM]:

“In what ways are the findings within the attached docx document as regards factuality and institutions similar to the institutional behaviors and outcomes of the Ministry of Truth in George Orwell’s 1984?”

002. the answer:

"The findings in the attached document describe institutional behaviors—particularly in Connecticut’s regulation of naturopathy—that blend scientific authority with pseudoscience, resulting in systematic misinformation and compromised public safeguards. These behaviors are substantially similar to the operations and outcomes produced by the Ministry of Truth in George Orwell’s 1984, especially regarding the manipulation of factuality and the institutional erosion of objective truth.

Manipulation of Truth

This is the script and hypertext links for the two-part Naturocrit Podcast Episode 016, aka s02e06, titled “The Cullen-Snyder Framework and AI-LLM Applications of That Framework.” I'll be sharing a hybrid framework I've recently created and my application of that framework to five data sets.  Additionally, this Episode 016 Part 1 will include a comparison of the third application to my M.S. capstone, and a collected summary of the results of all the applications that were employed as examples:

Synopsis

In this two-part Naturocrit Podcast Episode 016 titled “The Cullen-Snyder Framework and AI-LLM Applications of That Framework,” I will present, detail, and apply – principally in Part 1 – an analytical and evaluative framework I’ve developed titled:

“The Cullen-Snyder Framework for Evaluative Analysis of Naturopathy with Regard to Freedom (v.1.0).”

The table of contents of this Part 1 is as follows:

the Cullen-Snyder Framework, Application #001 UM, Application #002 SCU, Application #003 UB  with a comparison of Application #003 UB and my M.S. Capstone by way of that framework, a short bit on Bastyr and its 2025 condition of unsustainability, Application #004 CT Present Day Naturopathy and an accuracy check of that through a different AI-LLM than what was initially used for the application, Application #005 BC 2025 Naturopathy, and finally Part 1’s summary and conclusion.
