The Death Of Science
By Victor Davis Hanson

Excerpts:

"The scientific method used to govern much of popular American thinking . . .

Is this yet another of the scientific community’s Platonic “noble lies,” as when
Fauci assured the public last year that there was no need for masks? He later
claimed he had lied so that medical professionals would not run out of needed
supplies . . .

“Critical race theory” would preposterously tell us that we need racism to fight racism . . .

Science is dying; superstition disguised as morality is returning. And we’ll all soon
become poorer, angrier and more divided."
__Victor Davis Hanson

(Victor Davis Hanson is a classicist and historian at the Hoover Institution,
Stanford University, and the author of “The Second World Wars: How the First
Global Conflict Was Fought and Won,” from Basic Books.

Quite an accurate assessment of the prevailing Death of Science going around our once great nation like an actual pandemic. One who considers himself an alert American must question, out of a very justified sense of rational fear, the intentions of CDC scientists preaching the safety of mRNA vaccines for your children one moment, and the ability of male and female to swap their biological sex the next. The modern American public has placed their mortal trust and lives in the hands of madmen who admit in public and on camera to being insane.

An interesting perspective:

General Observations:

What's interesting here, is the fact that the leadership of America
and the social-political influencers in America, and many of
America's activists and voters are engaged and locked down
in an ongoing bitter political-ideological WAR ~ with the
net results, being partly like Hanson said ~ we will become
angrier and more divided.

At this point in human history, what Thomas Hobbs said
generally applies to most everything ~ and most certainly
it applies to these highly disputed political-social issues.

"Its a war of all against all."

Question: How many of, say, your personal political ideological
enemies do you think would tell you, "Hey I do NOT have the
science on my side."

How many of these liberal scoundrels that hawk the notion
that a boy can suddenly declare himself a girl, would tell you
"Hey I do NOT have the science on my side on this issue."

Generally all evil immoral inhabitants make the claim: "I have the
science on my side."

"Only the dead have seen an end to war." (both military war and political war)
__attributed to Plato (and others)

The "I have the science on my side, and you don't",
is the standard "argument" put forward by many
Philosophical Pseudo-intellectual Academic Talking Heads.

By the way, if we define the word "science" roughly as truth, then
I note that between 1939 - 1945 The Allies put, at that time, the
world's most powerful military into Europe, to settle the dispute
over what was "science" with the edge of the bloody sword

The Allied Armies took what the Nazis said was science and
they FORCE CRAMMED it down the throats of the Nazis and
those that went along with the Nazi assertions of what was
science, and the Nazis and the people who supported them and
fought for them were 100% helpless to prevent it ~ and they
were killed by the millions in World War 2.

Humans are a warrior species. A fact supported by some 6000
years of recorded human history and human wars.

When humans are no killing other humans with metal objects
they are attempting to "kill" other humans with words. (Words
are the first weapons draw in warfare.)

And regarding military and political WAR: it ain't
nowhere close to being over with.

I laugh when I read that we still continue to test the bedrock principles of Relativity over 100 years but are told to accept Manmade Global Climate Warming Change as "settled science"
