One
thing that is increasingly clear is that the majority of science is
rubbish and based on preconceived outcomes determined by who is
writing the checks. Science is like the weather, which they also
fantasize about. If you don’t like it, just wait. It will change.
Another thing that is widely known, based on the experience of
others, is that doctors will kill you of you give them the chance to
exercise their widely varying opinions. You have to somehow manage
to live long enough to learn both of these things on your own
because no one is going to tell you for fear of being labeled
illiterate by the barely literate.
What people will tell you is that scientists say
this and doctors say that, simply because they assume that you are
going to be impressed that someone is a doctor or scientist, while
not telling you what their first held opinion was that caused them
to listen to a particular group of doctors and scientists who were
adherent to their own set of wildly varying scientific methods,
because scientific methods are also like the weather, and ignore the
others in order to support their opinions. Included in the
conversation will be things like NHS, AMA, NAS, UN, NICE, etc. to
make what they say sound official and beyond questioning.
The vast majority of these wannabe Einsteins are not
capable of coming up with an original thought on their own so,
they either wait for someone with alterior motives to suggest
something like humans can control the weather or spend their entire
lives seeking acclamation by proving someone else's unproved
theory. They celebrate hysterically with each new discovery that can
be remotely theorized to have something to do with a Big Bang that
must have happened billions of years ago because no other
known rational thought, they say, can explain the
existence of the Universe. Rational thought is abandoned
as they never stop to consider that the Jesuit Priest that
first postulated the theory most certainly did not risk his
existence by challenging the Pope, but what is much more likely is
that he translated the book of Genesis into scientific terms so that
he could hoodwink the scientific community into proving the Pope's
postulations. A mystical metaphysical singularity that exceeds
the boundaries of physical science is a pretty strong, ignored
clue.
With each new discovery of ancient bones, they mob up
and riot over who will get to be the first one to publish the
journal, which is summed up with the words, "See? This animal must
have evolved from this other animal". They never stop to think that
the original thought for this theory was published by a known
psychotic who sought to have his psychosis treated by pouring
buckets of water over his head and, when his daughter got physically
sick, insisted, against his wife's wishes, on killing her with the
same treatment. This was a man who was so entranced by Karl Marx
that he dedicated a book to him and he was encouraged by Marx
because Marx understood that without religion, humans become much
weaker and can be more easily controlled. There is a giant
disconnect as these practioners of mythology refuse to consider
that since everything in the Universe, living or not, is created
from the same basic building block involving the exact same shared
energy and non-energy and everything is similar to the next as a
result. Just because humans physically resemble a rock proves
nothing, but their wing sprouting fantasies are much better than
whatever fantasies you are having, they insist.
In
the meantime, actual science grinds to a halt for 100 years, while
waiting for the next messiah, and the fact that all of
these groups of people are made up of simple human beings who are
mostly on the take and have their own survival instincts and
psychosis to deal with never enters the conversation. If you have a
rash, try something and your rash goes away, but they don't like
what you took, they will be quick resort to the old fall back to
tell you that it was all in your mind. The mind, they will say, as
they try to control yours, can do mysterious things. Your rash is
gone, but, according to them, you should have gone to a doctor
because, whatever it was could have been something that ended up
killing you. They will seldom be able to rationally tell you what
that something might have been, but will usually blurt out the most
terrible thing that comes to mind. Usually, if it so happened that
you had whatever they suggest, you would have died with or without
doctors raking in the dough.
At
the end of the day, if the day is one of enough days, you will take
note that you met less than a handful of good doctors and scientists
of sound minds in all of your days, the term quack does not only
apply to ducks, but it does solicit the term lawyer because that’s
another term that’s supposed to impress you, and that you would have
been much better off to try things for yourself because your life
was always much better off and better protected while in your own
hands.
