Plenty of cults exist - every cult has its 'religious dogma', its idols, its 'prophets', its 'science', its 'proof' and its intolerant liturgy of demands. Cults everywhere: Corona, 'The Science' or Scientism, Islam, the State, the cult of Gender Fascism, Marxism, Darwin and Evolution, Globaloneywarming, Changing Climate, Abortion...
Tempus Fugit Memento Mori - Time Flies Remember Death
A current religious dogma, preached by fanatical priests, asserts that the hoi-polloi must ‘follow the science’. If the wayward pilgrim actually does follow the science, he/she/it will often find that it is really spelled $cience and is about money. Yet this simplistic dogma, ‘follow our $cience’, this liturgical refrain is used against anyone who may oppose the diktats of those in power. This suffocatingly capricious and derisory gospel and bad news, endlessly proclaimed and preached by the ‘illiteratti’ in power invokes a non-thinking religious belief in, inter-alia and not limited to the following:
The ‘science’ of the Covid Quacksinations based on a planned coup where your immune system is now declared heretical,
Climate Change from plant food which used to be known as weather,
Darwinism where stuff happens over trillions of years to create incredible design and mass ‘coincidences’,
Transgenderism where chromosomes, mitochondria and body structures cease to exist,
The never-ending apparatus of Governmental power whose illimitable organs both domestically and transnationally, must be unquestioningly obeyed as God-given gospel,
The WHO and UN, both desirous of World Government, whose unelected and often criminal bureaucrats and leaders are attempting to destroy nation states and local democracy.
What is ‘Science’?
Richard Feynman rightly observed it is a belief in the ignorance of experts, that is to say, we must question almost everything in the pursuit of truth. After the Corona Fascism, this should be obvious to anyone who is sentient or not lost to brainwashing and the religious dogma of Rona-ism or its ‘$cience’. In fact, no more than 10-20% of the population are critical thinkers and therein lies the problem. The powers who rule the world and manage your governments know this. They know the sheep obey their master and like secular shepherds imitating Christ, they know that the sheep will follow their master’s voice.
John 10:4 And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.
The Lords who rule the world use mass communications, technology and digital everything to batter the sheep into their pens. They do with the sheeple what they will. Rona-ism was simply a test run, all pre-planned and carefully coordinated across the G20, to train the sheeple. It was the corruption of ‘science’ and the institution of ‘scientism’, or the religious fervour and belief in the merging of ‘science’, technology and ‘experts’. Feynman objected to the use of experts and word-salads as constituting ‘science’.
“When someone says, “Science teaches such and such,” he is using the word incorrectly. Science doesn’t teach anything; experience teaches it. If they say to you, “Science has shown such and such,” you might ask, “How does science show it? How did the scientists find out? How? What? Where?”
It should not be “science has shown” but “this experiment, this effect, has shown.” And you have as much right as anyone else, upon hearing about the experiments–but be patient and listen to all the evidence–to judge whether a sensible conclusion has been arrived at.”
‘Science’ does not include dictatorship by experts. It values the very opposite. It is not Francis Bacon’s Lord Chancellor view of ‘science’, in which the 17th century philosopher lists the obvious about science which had been prevalent for 2000 years. Bacon omitted ‘judgement’ and ‘replication’. His view was a Lord Chancellor’s view. I rule therefore I am right. That is not science. This is the dogma we find today which is religious not objective.
World Views and debates
Science demands a debate, experimentation, interpretation, and judgement against world-view. The philosophy of the ‘scientist’ will form their conclusions. The philosophical disposition of the person conducting an experiment will obviously inform their judgement and conclusions. I can look at strata of old rock and determine that it was formed very quickly through natural processes and can be no older than a few thousand years. A Darwinist will count the layers, add algorithmic complexity and models and determine that the strata is 350 million years old and was formed gradually. Both observations are formed by worldviews. Because the Darwinist is lauded and applied with money and press, he will win. To ensure his victory he will heap insults and calumny on the heretics who don’t believe. Thus, it goes with secular religions. The material is more important than the eternal.
‘Science’ has mutated to become unquestionably ‘The $cience’. Group think, with everyone desiring money, plaudits, interviews, jet-sets, grants, prizes, affirmation and relevancy. Look inside any organisation. How many within a large group defy the group-think? No more than 20%. The ‘$cience’ uses an avalanche of mostly fake, irrelevant or contradictory detail in the form of ‘studies’, ‘expert guidance’, and of course the infamous ‘models’ to enforce the group think. Garbage in, garbage out. They punish dissenters. They attack the heretics. They set to fire the books of any who disagree with its Gospels. The Church of $cience is vicious. It is not a secret that careers, proofs, even lives have been sacrificed and eliminated in the name of $cience.
Why the fraud and corruption emanating from Mount $cience? The church leaders of Scientism know that most of the sheeple and non-experts are ’inexpert’ in statistical analysis, database schemas, database code, database source data and integrity checks, data validation automation, application code, application code testing, application code logical error detection. It is easy to fool the mass. You can hide the outrageously ridiculous assertions in the full light of day, because no one will go through the details of the model in question. Few would understand it. This is how a mediocrity like Neil Ferguson at Imperial College London using 13-year-old software code, can predict in December 2021, 5.000 dead a day in the UK, from the unvaccinated population, and have his stupidity replayed over every single network and technology platform, with an incessant demand from the criminal industries of pharma and government and their paid off shrills, that everyone must be stabbed. For the record, post stabbinations, 92% or more of the dead from Rona in the UK (identified as such with a fake test) were stabbed and it was less than 10% of Ferguson’s prediction. In fact the unstabbinated in the UK had the lowest death rates in 2022. But no worries, there never is a punishment for those committing fraud for profits and power in the name of the Holy Religion of ‘$cience’. Imperial College was lavishly funded by the Gates Foundation, the UK government and even the CCP. Follow the money to find the $cience.
Finding truth or verity is difficult. In a true scientific process, no members of an elect exist who dictate what is to be followed and believed, there are no Pharisees and Sadducees, and no Mount Science can be located. Real science is a rough-and-often ugly process of hypothesizing, public testing, attempted replication, theory formation, dissent and rebuttal, refutation (perhaps), failure (often), revision (often), and confirmation (sometimes). It’s an unending process and open to being challenged and criticised. The institutional power of some body or elect to declare matters settled by consensus opens the door to all kinds of mischief that violate the spirit of science and potentially harm the public financially and otherwise. When you hear the words ‘consensus’, ‘everyone agrees or knows’, ‘the science is settled’, you are dealing with a Church dogma, not the open, messy, and the intimidating world of real inquiry and finding truth. You don’t need to be an ‘expert’ or have a ‘Phd’ to be a ’scientist’. You need domain knowledge, curiosity, rigour, some intelligence and transparency and probably, most importantly, an ardent enthusiasm for the subject in question.
The corruption of science has been enacted by government. As Eisenhower warned 2 generations ago, the corruption of institutions, technology, science and other areas of social construction including education, by government was probably the single greatest threat to our freedom. Government policy is now equated with ‘science’ which is simply the enablement of ‘$cience’. Government has created entire industries around pharma and Covid, around Climate and Gaia, around gender illness and around Darwinism and evolution. The money flowing into these areas with their endless rivers of dogmatic gospel and ‘proofs’ are religious in nature and demand religious observance. Materialist-determinism and nominalism are the underlying philosophies of these dogmatists and they demand unyielding obeisance from the Sheeple.
The bottom line is this. Science is all well and good, and I have yet to meet anyone who says, ‘I hate science, I wish it would disappear, I also want polluted rivers, unclean air and rampant disease’. As with adoring babies and small dogs most humans are in favour of some form of rational inquiry. Scientism however is not science. The corruption of natural science, first taught in medieval Catholic schools and universities, into dogmatic religion, leads to authoritarian societies where an ‘elect’ will rule. F. A. Hayek, in The Counter-Revolution of Science, defined scientism as the “slavish imitation of the method and language of Science.” Enslavement is the key characteristic of Scientism. You will be enslaved to the materialist world view and its interpretation by an elect of ‘experts’. Philosopher Gilbert Ryle in The Concept of Mind states: “Physicists may one day have found the answers to all physical questions, but not all questions are physical questions. The laws they have found and will find may, in one sense of the metaphorical verb, govern everything that happens, but they do not ordain everything that happens. Indeed, they do not ordain anything that happens. Laws of nature are not fiats.”
Not everything in life is material or physical. Freedom is not, neither is morality. Bodily autonomy and individual rights are not ‘scientific’. There is no science to deeply held faith, outside of the proofs that faith professes to have seen and to believe in . There is no science to being a good neighbour, a caring person, or one who engages in feeding the hungry and marginalised. Life is not simply a material exercise, a set of equations and demands to follow the commandments from Mount Science. As John Stuart Mill pointed out in On Liberty, even a dissenter who holds a demonstrably wrong view on a question might know something important on that very question that has been overlooked. In other words you can’t destroy the freedoms of speech and inquiry and engage in the book burning of heretics, something the atheist Nazis practiced. This is called dogma and has little to do with science. Scientism is inimical to freedom and immaterial beliefs.
