What we call “science” in Western culture has been weaponized for many decades to legitimize whatever narrative the powerful want to push.
This should be self-evident after the COVID-19 debacle, where nearly everything that was labeled a “conspiracy theory” turned out to be true, and nearly everything the powerful told us turned out to be false. Remember President Biden threatening us with a “winter of death” or promising that the shot would prevent contracting COVID?
But it goes back much further than that, and it isn’t always about following the money, although that’s a pretty reliable measure of who’s benefiting from any particular research study.
Now, in the “I didn’t see that coming” department, there was a recently published peer-reviewed medical journal article that criticizes corrupt medical journals and their corrupt peer-reviewed studies. Um, what?
Since virtually all the “science” that gets reported in the media — the “science” on which public policy is made and the “science” that subsequently affects our everyday lives in countless ways — tends to stem from peer-reviewed research in medical journals, this is a significant admission.
Obviously, our mainstream media has not reported it, but we can come back to that another day. For now, I want to focus on the result of the faulty assumption that “science” provides unassailable answers to any questions — much less life’s biggest searches for truth. Because for many decades now, the most unquestionable, absolutely carved-in-solid-rock “truth” from “science” is this: Everything evolved from something else, and we are all a product of nothing but random chance.
