Faith in Science

The day i realized i had a faith in science was the day i stopped believing.

Science is not supposed to be a religion. Why am i believing in it? It's meant be observed details - that can be verified - or not.

The reality is you kinda have to. A normal person doesn't have time to research, verify the pronouncements of world-leading scientists - we have to trust them. ManyMany, not all, scientists trade off that trust to move the relationship with the public into a mystical world.

This shift towards a religious movement comes right from the top.  Farrar is our shepherd-in-chief. He peppers his speeches with exhortations to believe - his lectures are rallying calls for those who truly, truly believebelieve.  - while Lipkin talks of preaching in the wilderness about his:

… international surveillance system  - this is the future for us - (31:40) this is what will keep us secure on the planet - this is what we need...

The other telltale sign of a zealot-led religious movement is the desire to vilify a perceived enemy. In Lord of the Flies it's interesting to note that the boys didn't bother too much with inventing a God - the Devil was way more important - a powerful force for shaping/controlling the culture - with the inventors/narrators of the devil conveniently installed at the top.

For Farrar it'sthe devil is the anti-globalization and/or the vaccine-vaccine/lose-all-my-freedoms hesitant movements - the great threat to his One-Everything dream.  HeAs seesan establishment leader, he warns it asis eroding trust in institutions ... (which is) exacerbated by social media - which in turn - acted - upon the direction of the Lancet Statement and Prox O scientists, which Farrar coordinated, to censor/ban such talk. That's gettingusing your clout to be as proactive with manipulating the future of humanity as you can getget.

Meanwhile,There's saying it, but then there's doing it. Who's prepared to step-up and do the dirty work?

Farrar, Daszak, Lipkin, Holmes, Andersen led the way in using the same platforms that banned their inquisitors to vilify the conspiracy theorists and crackpots whosaying, questionedhang their claim thaton, the CCP wasis not open and transparent.  Lipkin yearnsyearned for ways to choke them.

Part of Jeremy's skill-set is getting that social media iass - a real thing - which needs to be monitored/influenced,influenced - or it will run you run-you-the-fuck-over. Holmes reports: Jeremy Farrar, director of the Wellcome Trust, certainly was very vocal in that.

For a long while theythe werecohort was successful. With full-backing from the world's normal media & social media, our Celebrity Scientists were able to manipulatemanipulated the dark-urges of humans to ostracize and demonize those who opposed them.

But there's one problem with whipping up the mob - that shit can turn.
