Neil deGrasse Tyson | let the dark lord Satan show you the way

in

“Some have asked me where scientists turn after science has yielded no clear solution. I tell these people what my grandfather Charles Darwin told me: roll back your eyes, contort your body, and let the dark lord Satan show you the way” Neil deGrasse Tyson (attributed) “Manche haben mich gefragt, wohin sich Wissenschaftler wenden, wenn die Wissenschaft keine klare Lösung gefunden hat. Ich sage diesen Leuten, was mein Großvater Charles Darwin mir gesagt hat: Rollt eure Augen zurück, verdreht euren Körper und lasst euch vom dunklen Lord Satan alles zeigen”…

ZUBY | One of the biggest problems with college degrees

in

“One of the biggest problems with college degrees is they’ve made a lot of people think they are much smarter than they truly are. This arrogance and smugness makes them dumber because they think they’re too smart to receive new information from anybody with fewer ‘credentials’.” ZUBY | Rapper. Author. Podcaster. Speaker. Coach. “One of the biggest problems with college degrees is they’ve made a lot of people think they are much smarter than they truly are. “Eines der größten Probleme mit Hochschulabschlüssen ist, dass sie viele Menschen dazu gebracht…

Dr Mike Yeadon | have taken as fact that viruses exist without ever reviewing the original papers

in

“I’m aware this two page backgrounder & experimental proposal aims to show whether or not viruses exist, focussing on SARS-CoV-2. I’m a signatory because, having given a lot of thought to the entire proposition, I now believe it’s yet another of the lies to which we’ve been subject. In the case of scientists, even those in commercial drug discovery, have taken as fact that viruses exist without ever reviewing the original papers.” Dr Mike Yeadon “Ich bin mir bewusst, dass dieser zweiseitige Hintergrundbericht und experimentelle Vorschlag darauf abzielt, zu zeigen,…

Hermann Hesse | I have been and still am a seeker

in ,

“I do not consider myself less ignorant than most people. I have been and still am a seeker, but I have ceased to question stars and books. I have begun to listen to the teachings my blood whispers to me. My story is not a pleasant one; it is neither sweet nor harmonious, as invented stories are; it has the taste of nonsense and chaos, of madness and dreams — like the lives of all men who stop deceiving themselves.” Hermann Karl Hesse, Pseudonym: Emil Sinclair, war ein deutsch-schweizerischer Schriftsteller,…

Frank Zappa | Schools train people to be ignorant

in

“Schools train people to be ignorant, with style. They give you the equipment that you need to be a functional ignoramus. American schools* do not equip you to deal with things like logic; they don’t give you the criteria by which to judge between good and bad in any medium or format; and they prepare you to be a usable victim for military-industrial complex that needs manpower. As long as you’re just smart enough to do a job and just dumb enough to swallow what they feed you, you’re gonna…

Bertrand Russell | system of deception

in

“Educational systems have been developed not to impart genuine knowledge but to make the people docile to the will of the rulers. Without a sophisticated system of deception in schools, it would be impossible to maintain the appearance of democracy. It is not desired that ordinary citizens think for themselves. Because it is believed that people who think for themselves are difficult to handle. Only the elites are supposed to think. The rest are supposed to obey and follow their leaders, like a herd of mutton. This doctrine has corrupted…

Carl Sagan on the importance of science education

in

“We’ve arranged a society based on science and technology, in which nobody understands anything about science technology. And this combustible mixture of ignorance and power, sooner or later, is going to blow up in our faces. Who is running the science and technology in a democracy if the people don’t know anything about it? … Science is more than a body of knowledge, it’s a way of thinking. A way of skeptically interrogating the universe with a fine understanding of human fallibility. If we are not able to ask skeptical…

Steve Jacobson | Political and economic power

in

“Political and economic power in the United States is concentrated in the hands of a “ruling elite” that controls most of U.S.-based multinational corporations, major communication media, the most influential foundations, major private universities and most public utilities. Founded in 1921, the Council of Foreign Relations is the key link between the large corporations and the federal government. It has been called a “school for statesmen” and “comes close to being an organ of what C. Wright Mills has called the Power Elite – a group of men, similar in…

The Libertarian Pilot | rules of state power

in

“We were raised by people who dutifully follow the rules of state power. We were brought up to follow the rules & not question the state. But now malicious people make the rules. It’s time to teach our children something different.” The Libertarian Pilot “Wir wurden von Menschen erzogen, die brav die Regeln der Staatsmacht befolgen. Wir wurden dazu erzogen, die Regeln zu befolgen & den Staat nicht zu hinterfragen. Doch jetzt machen bösartige Menschen die Regeln. Es ist an der Zeit, unseren Kindern etwas anderes beizubringen.” Nützliche und hilfreiche…

Rupert Sheldrake | Scientism is where people turn science into a kind of religion

in

London Real: “Is that called scientism when you believe so much in the science you’ve been taught that you refuse to believe something else, and it becomes your religion in a way?” Rupert Sheldrake: “Yes, scientism is where people turn science into a kind of religion. It becomes a kind of dogmatic belief system. The irony is that a lot of people think that religion is dogmatic and science is free-thinking, but actually, in my experience, some of the most dogmatic people I know are people who’ve made science into…
