Impact of Scientism on Society

Many individuals experience the repercussions of the prevailing dogma of scientism in their personal lives, whether through vaccinations, pharmaceuticals, or the indoctrination they receive in state schools promoting a nihilistic view of science. This leads to the realization that we are conditioned from a young age to "trust the science," viewing scientists as modern-day priests.

Scientism posits that all knowledge derives from sensory experience, a concept known as empiricism. When this assertion is scrutinized—specifically, whether the proposition “All knowledge comes from sensory experience” can itself be substantiated as sensory data—such inquiries are often dismissed as unnecessary. Additionally, many within the scientific community claim that metaphysical inquiries are obsolete.

Blind Acceptance of Scientific Theories

This mindset fosters an uncritical acceptance of various theories and hypotheses, including evolution, the Big Bang, and anthropogenic climate change. More pragmatically, it has led to the expansion of Big Pharma and the promotion of its medications and vaccines for health care.

Having studied chemistry and pharmacy, I can attest that the industry's approach often focuses on alleviating symptoms rather than addressing root causes. The goal seems to be to maintain patients in a state of limbo—neither fully healthy nor dead—to maximize profits. Notably, recent revelations from the editor of The Lancet, a leading medical journal, indicate that over half of global scientific literature may be fraudulent.

Dr. Horton has stated that much of the published scientific research is at best unreliable and at worst completely false. He argues, “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, science has taken a turn towards darkness.”

Questioning the Dogma

How often have you encountered phrases like “trust the science” or “science says”? These expressions serve as appeals to authority, a logical fallacy that can shape one’s worldview. While there are certainly genuine scientists, it is vital to critically examine contemporary scientific dogma, particularly when suspicious actors may not prioritize our well-being.

Science is not devoid of ethical considerations. There are both commendable and questionable scientists, and scientific findings can be utilized for beneficial or harmful purposes. Scientific theories warrant scrutiny through logic, metaphysics, and presuppositionalism—a philosophical approach I've recently encountered through Jay Dyer. Maintaining a critical perspective is essential to avoid deception.
