Ours is the great transition age. For the masses, the glowing
assumption is that the transition and transformation age we are
undergoing is the work of a long, evolutionary process of “natural”
“progress.” Wandering about their bubbles, these presuppositions never
go challenged or examined, having dobbed their cafeteria plate lives
from a long string of newsbite phrases and empty slogans overheard in
establishment schooling. “We are evolving,” and “We live in an era of
change,” and numerous other advertising blurbs that underlie modernity’s
plastic ideology actually form the basis for most of humanity’s
worldview. Yet are any of these assumptions actually true? Are we in living in an era of “progress” and “human ascent”?
I answer in the negative and the reasons for my dark assessment are many. Listening to a recent interview between someone of a truly skeptical bent with a figure in the scientism/skeptical crowd,
I was irked to hear a bevy of fallacies and incongruences and
unexamined assumptions that will here be analyzed with scalpel-like
precision. As mentioned above, what precisely is meant by the terms
“evolution,” “change,” “progress” and “Nature”? According to those in
the ranks of establishment scientism, these are givens, terms of brute
factuality and reason, all of which mystically coalesce to give us the
“best possible model” of the world under the new grand narrative mythos
of “science.”
What is meant by “evolution”? According to modern scientism, the
observation of small-scale changes in a species that appear to aid in
the species’ extension into the future through reproduction is the basic
understanding of evolutionary adaptation. Thus, because certain breeds
of animals can be bred with fitter members of the species, we can
extrapolate that large-scale aeons of time resulted in the origins of all life from a single amoeba. When it is pointed out that aeons
– millions of years – of adaptation and change are not observed, the
reply is that bacteria purportedly adapt under conditions of pressure.
Thus, it follows that all life mutated under conditions of pressure to
“evolve” into what we see today.
Destroy them with Weird Psyience!
On the surface, this has an appearance of being reasonable. Almost no
one denies micro-evolutionary adaptation and change, that within the
mechanics of various organisms there resides the DNA programming to
adapt to environmental circumstances. Where the bait and switch comes is
the dogmatic assertion that from this observation, it is certain that
all life originated from a single cell millions of years ago, following
billions of years of “Big Bang” expansion. The evidence for these
theories nowadays is, of course, taken as dogmatic fact, with any
dissension on these matters scorned and mocked. Why? Because religion is
irrational and “unscientific” and cannot be tested. Yet can these
assertions be tested as scientific?
The reply is that they are proven by carbon dating and observing
various UV rays that appear to “expand” from the presumed “singularity”
point. There are numerous problems with these claims, but the most
glaring will suffice in illustration. First, carbon dating is
notoriously unreliable, with examples of testing on recent artifacts
showing outrageous time stamps for items that are manifestly not
ancient. Further, the carbon dating itself works on the assumption of
millions of years of evolutionary, chaotic flux, which begs the
question. In other words, if your testing methods already operate on the
assumption that matter is aeons in age, then the results of the tests are obviously predetermined.
Second, the appearance of light expanding from some locale is only as
coherent as the assumption that it comes from some point of
singularity, of which there is absolutely no observable evidence. As you
point these facts out to those enmeshed in the religion of scientism,
many will admit these are “theories,” but they are “the best models we
have.” Says whom? Why does the scientism crowd never admit they are
subject to biases and greed (for grants)? How is it that science or the
lab is magically averse to the failings of the rest of human endeavors?
“Ah, well, yes, it is subject to those things, but that is the beauty of
science, we are always changing and adapting our theories to fit the
evidence,” the general response comes.
To a degree, this is true. Science does posit new theories and does
refine its previous analyses as new data emerges. Yet as I’ve pointed
out many times, for this methodology to be consistent, they would have
to also conduct scientific experiments into the question of the
empirical scientific method itself, as well as its governing
assumptions. This is never, ever done, aside from one
establishment-funded study that tried to implicate lab bias into a
ridiculous Marxist framework. On the contrary, there is a motivating
impetus to not conduct this kind of investigation, because it would
expose much of scientism’s fraud and deception, where we would discover
the scientific establishment is the servant of the same master as the
banking, economic and entertainment fields, all of which operate under
the (fallacious) umbrella of consensus reality.
The scientific establishment is a hierarchy that operates just like
any other corporation of government entity, where knowledge is
apportioned on a need-to-know basis. Biologists are afraid, for example,
to speak on the matter of physics because they aren’t “physicists,”
while mathematicians are afraid to speak on the matter of astronomy
because they aren’t “astronomers.” This ridiculous segmentation of
knowledge (and there is nothing wrong with specialization) is itself
also predicated on the presupposition of scientism, that reality is not a
meaningful, coherent universe, but a random, chaotic mutation of
accidental consequence. “It just is,” becomes the scientistic refrain,
and if you don’t accept that premise and consider any other options, you
are a fool.
Scientism is your friend!
What begins to become clear is that this is a weighted game that has
nothing to do with discovering what is true, objective and “factual” in
the “natural world,” but rather a realm of gatekeepers that demand
adherence to a predefined set of orthodoxies that determine who is a
“scientist” and who is worthy of “peer review.” Furthermore, scientism
is entirely grounded in an old, outdated epistemology known as
empiricism which has been dissected, refuted and annihilated so many
times by cogent philosophers and logicians its continued existence is
ironically miraculous. Of all the persons who ought to adhere to their
much-touted “logic” and “reason,” these fools are the most irrational,
incoherent and nonsensical of all, as they perpetually melt under the
100 degree flame of foundational presuppositional inquiry (and that’s a
lab test I’ve done many times that appears to always hold true).
Arrogantly assuming they know, when in fact they do not (having a
gadfly appearance of knowledge), scientism likes logic when it suits,
quickly to discard and dispense with such rigors when the heat comes.
“All human knowledge comes through sense experience” begins their
assumptions, yet when pressed as to whether this proposition itself is a
fact of sense data (which it obviously is not), universal claims
suddenly dissipate and this great commandment is hailed as an obvious
given. It’s a new maxim, a new commandment from the gods of the
Enlightenment, and you daren’t ask such questions. Yet if science is so
groundbreaking and revolutionary in character, why is it so afraid of
these basic questions of epistemology?
The general reply at this stage is that science cannot, should not
and will not answer such absurd “metaphysical” questions. Now wait a
minute here – on what basis did this suddenly get shelved into the
“metaphysical” category? Says whom? By what standard does the individual
scientist know that asking questions of this nature are “metaphysical,”
as opposed to questions concerning lab data? You begin to see how many
and multifaceted the mere assumptions are for scientism to operate.
Despite the fact that their starting point is a foundational
contradiction, the rest of the world is expected to gaze in awe upon the
entire edifices that are constructed upon these fallacies, with
rational inquiry unwelcomed. This, you see, is the role of philosophy,
and is quite clearly the reason true philosophical inquiry it is hated
by scientism (as Tyson recently demonstrated).
Also crucial to note is the structure of scientism and the
establishment, whose fraudulent bases are continuously exposed openly,
with the public becoming none the wiser. This year alone papers were
produced from peer review that give the appearance of black holes being
both impossible and non-existent, as well as existing. “Dark matter”
pervades our universe, yet, wait, no it’s back to ancient conceptions of
aether. Quantum physics is real, yet wait, it is
pseudo-science theory. In other words, “science,” like all the other
industries, operates under the public’s naïve assumption that it is a
unified, governing body of non-biased, neutral geniuses, engaged in the
noble endeavor of furthering the “progress” of human “knowledge.” Again
we see those amorphous, undefined, inchoate terms.
Simple philosophical questions should come to bear on these
multitudes of theories, and were “scientists” better trained in logic
and metaphysics (which they are not), we might avoid many of these
ridiculous pitfalls. For example, if Einstein’s relativity is true,
there is no fixed point of reference from which to determine which
stellar bodies are orbiting which, nor the theory that the universe
expanded from a single, compressed atomic mass. This preposterous notion
is a clear signpost of the irrationality of scientism, as is the
popular theory of how planets formed – that random chunks of space dust
got caught in orbits, started spinning, and over billions of years, like
bellybutton lint, congealed into a sphere from which life happened to
spring forth from primal sludge. Truly it is the case that only
academics could believe such fairy tales which are far more laughable
than religious creation narratives.
The belly button lint planetary theory of “science.”
And so the age of transition is not the transition into the era of
utopian scientific progress, transhumanism, technological immortality
and United Nations kumbaya most think, it is the age of transitioning
away from all traditional forms of culture. It is the age of transition
into a new global mythology that is created and manufactured in the same
way the culture industry creates cultures in various regions and
nations. It is a scientific dictatorship that is not scientific, but
dogmatic, fascist and hierarchically structured on a need-to-know basis
that blatantly hides, obfuscates and rejects actual data and information
about human origins and life, only to be replaced by the most
preposterous theories of primal sludge, lint ball planets and imagined aeons of unobserved billions of years, meaninglessly exploding forth from the universe’s (Fantasia level) singularity point.
This is not progress, these retarded theories are a regress into
explanatory models with no explanatory power. They need to be called out
for what they are – replacement mythologies – that are rehashed forms
of ancient atomism, dressed up in scientistic garb. It is time to reject
these phonies, liars, dupes and establishment hacks, and recognize they
suppress real science and inquiry for the purpose of control. Their
control is not about human progress, but the Orwellian opposite, the
dysgenics plan of destroying man. We need only think of the Lancet,
Oxford’s most prestigious medical journal, whose editor recently stated
in a matter-of-fact tone that half the world’s scientific literature is fraudulent:
“Dr. Horton recently published a statement
declaring that a lot of published research is in fact unreliable at
best, if not completely false.
“The case against science is
straightforward: much of the scientific literature, perhaps half, may
simply be untrue. Afflicted by studies with small sample sizes, tiny
effects, invalid exploratory analyses, and flagrant conflicts of
interest, together with an obsession for pursuing fashionable trends of
dubious importance, science has taken a turn towards darkness.” (source)
This is quite disturbing, given the fact
that all of these studies (which are industry sponsored) are used to
develop drugs/vaccines to supposedly help people, train medical staff,
educate medical students and more.
It’s common for many to dismiss a lot of
great work by experts and researchers at various institutions around the
globe which isn’t “peer-reviewed” and doesn’t appear in a “credible”
medical journal, but as we can see, “peer-reviewed” doesn’t really mean
much anymore. “Credible” medical journals continue to lose their
tenability in the eyes of experts and employees of the journals
themselves, like Dr. Horton.
He also went on to call himself out in a
sense, stating that journal editors aid and abet the worst behaviours,
that the amount of bad research is alarming, that data is sculpted to
fit a preferred theory. He goes on to observe that important
confirmations are often rejected and little is done to correct bad
practices. What’s worse, much of what goes on could even be considered
borderline misconduct.
Dr. Marcia Angell, a physician and
longtime Editor in Chief of the New England Medical Journal (NEMJ),
which is considered to another one of the most prestigious peer-reviewed
medical journals in the world, makes her view of the subject quite
plain:
“It is simply no longer possible
to believe much of the clinical research that is published, or to rely
on the judgment of trusted physicians or authoritative medical
guidelines. I take no pleasure in this conclusion, which I reached
slowly and reluctantly over my two decades as an editor of the New
England Journal of Medicine” (source)
