Time for the science rant… The scientific method is merely that: a method. And when you feed garbage into that process, you get garbage out. When people today refer to “science”, what they are often referring to are studies funded by big money which are then utilized to advance an agenda. This technique is not new; it has been utilized for centuries. Edward Bernays used it to great effect in many of his public relations campaigns in the 1900s. Science today is largely rubbish, and is merely a weapon wielded against the people in order to manipulate them. Unfortunately the public at large is quite ignorant, and so they must rely on the priesthood of science (and it’s close cousin, medicine) in order to inform their opinions. The situation is exacerbated by a society that has become increasingly secular, which has replaced God with science and elevated it to the status of deity. Yet the public has lost sight of the fact that science is merely a tool, and is only as good as the hand that wields it. It can be used to manipulate/skew data in order to control a populace, or it can be used to uncover the truth. Make Science Great Again…
