Hey all,
Just a thought, I was thinking about how much prestige the scientific community has gained recently and how much more influencing its becoming in the way we think... it is the number one cause of people questioning religious beliefs (not a bad thing though mostly lol). But I also feel like the scientific community has embraced a metaphysical belief system (materialism) and this worldview is being promoted in our academic institutions and by the scientific elite. These are some of things that that academic community implicitly and explicitly promotes as gospel by in my opinion are questionable and some are most likely just outright false
Nature is purposeless
consciousness is a product of the brain
psi is not real
psychics are fake
there are no grand conspiracies
alternative medicine is all bogus
Humans have only been around for 40 to 100 thousand years ( I am thinking of forbidden archaeology (Cremo) and other anomalies found by archaeologist)
we have never been visited by other intelligent beings
I am just thinking about how when one group claims to have an outright claim to knowledge... how it can form into some sort of knowledge cartel or dictatorship... when people just accept any consensus that is formed by the scientific community without question.. and people who question it are ridiculed and suppressed... as the scientific community becomes more and more influential in promoting the materialist worldview.... I think its going to start functioning sort of like a knowledge cartel... churches are replaced with universities and schools and priests are replaced with scientists.
I feel like this because I feel like western society is getting more totalitarian in its outlook and conformity is valued over free thought in all aspects of life.
