Modern "Big Science" has rendered dangerous tendencies toward totalitarianism. It is time for a return to Popperian views on Science to protect Democracies around the world.
Valuable article - another strange piece in the jigsaw is that George Soros long claimed to be a disciple of Popper - apparently deeply proud of it -and he launched in Popper’s lifetime with Vaclav Havel Charter 77 and Charter 88 advocating for civil liberties in the Warsaw Pact. His on-line journal Open Democracy was surely a reference to Popper’s political philosophy but it was also when I was looking at it possible to detect a shift in emphasis perhaps a decade ago from democratic to Utopian projects. I wonder was Soros play acting as a libertarian all this time to play out the totalitarian end game?
Astute adults are readily able to identify and ignore a "snake oil" sales pitch. Tragically it seems astute adults are trending toward a rare breed in Western countries. The dumbing down of society is shocking and it poses an existential peril to every innocent human being, whether they understand as much or not. This is of course why power lusting authoritarians are always anxious to indoctrinate, thereby intellectually debilitating, vulnerable children.
An excellent start for an incredibly important topic. People are brainwashed by hearing "the reserchers proved that .." The problem is that many researchers are corrupt. And I am afraid these are not only health scientists. For them to be allowed to be corrupt, the rest of academia must be corrupt. Not long ago David Martins (the one who recently testified at PE, but in a different videoblog) said that he is convinced that all state universities in US are money laundering schemes. In Poland where I live, universities were captured and ruled by communists since WWII so not much has changed during Covid. The governing body of the whole of the Polish Academy of Science (PAN) proclaimed a support for mRNA vaccines already in 2020 - one of the members of that body was an archeologist, some economists some doctors and biologists, too - and they started a special CORONAVIRUS committee which still recommends vaccines for pregnant woman and children. There are two other special Committees at PAN: one for climate change and the newest one concerning Heath. While at east German universities all professors who collaborated with secrete services were dismissed after the fall of Berlin Wall, in Poland they all stayed and were in position to create internal laws for "free" universities of today. So I think the whole of academia must be reformed. Without the tacit support of the remaining scientists, corrupt health researchers would not survive.
I am in agreement. I also found Campbells video showed stunning audacity on the part of the WHO. I wished I shared your optimism for a beneficial outcome. I think the totalitarian mindset playing out has a ways to go and the youth are digital serfs too preoccupied with short term entertainment hits to see the takeover.
The Most Heavily Vaccinated People And Those
Injured The Most - Are Still Wearing Masks.
Enjoy This Moment. It Is Yours.
Because They Are The Same Fucked-Up Morons
That Wanted To Force Inject You; To Quarantine You; To Fire You; And To Deny You Medical Care. They Still Do.
So Tell Them - To Their Faces:
“Don’t Get Sick - Because You Won’t Get Better”
You Owe Yourself That.
They Are Not Getting Better. Make Them Hear It
A great start to your essay series on one of the most important set of issues in our world. Looking forward the the remaining 4. Thank you.
Type into your search bar "one person dies every 4 minutes from covid" and you will see just how determined they are to keep the fear alive.
Thanks. You rocked at Yale's MD grad ceremony (poor grads had to listen to the covid cockroach though).

Great take on teleological historicism.

This worth the read regarding the limits of scientific understandings though.
