I'm not sure if you just think I'm plain stupid, or duped somehow. I do, however, hold on to this notion that if the two of us - as you claim here - believe the scientific method works, there should be a way to reach agreement on what the physical reality of [insert preferred term here] is. Is that impossible?<br /><br />We should make a documentary, and we can't finish it until we're both able to agree! How hard can it be? (Just let me finish this fecking six months first.)Dolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17110810881843699172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25138780.post-35689697711402278592010-09-03T07:49:18.457+00:002010-09-03T07:49:18.457+00:00Also a wordpress blogger.

The most horrible of things. There (in the field of Art) already 'they' have tested the concept and saw that in the natural prostitution environment that art surrounds, it's easy to accomplish. The same counts for science, it needs funding, and is therefore simple to compromise.Maartennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25138780.post-40603252491495420782009-12-24T12:07:35.486+00:002009-12-24T12:07:35.486+00:00Truth is what we tell you and when enough of you b...Truth is what we tell you and when enough of you believe it there is no other truth.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25138780.post-75831342772047035502009-12-24T12:04:26.098+00:002009-12-24T12:04:26.098+00:00When some 40+ years ago I first read Orwell's ...When some 40+ years ago I first read Orwell's 1984 I saw in the context of a warning based on a telescopic view into communism as was then practised in the Eastern Bloc.<br /><br />I have just re-read it and now realise that it was a blueprint.<br /><br />The post modern science position filled the last piece in the jigsaw.<br /><br />Recant, be re-programmed and you may be allowed to live.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25138780.post-14721811564000452642009-12-10T21:33:46.813+00:002009-12-10T21:33:46.813+00:00Thanks for that great (but sickening) analysis.

I'm happy he did or else I'd not known of you.<br /><br />I've been on about this and the broader picture for a very long time. Only yesterday, prodded by another poster at BC, I finished <a href="http://pascalfervor.blogspot.com/2009/12/defend-your-right-to-exist.html" rel="nofollow"><i>Defend Your Right to Exist</i></a>, based entirely on our ability to think and our right to determine what is in our own best interest. Attempts to destroy reason are contrary to that.<br /><br />I've been warning of the misanthropic megalomaniacs for ages at my sites: see "Synopsis of Pascal Fervor," found on my sidebar, where I focus on the Malthusian god S U S T A I N A B I L I T Y.<br /><br /><br />I also warn of the dangers of clever men telling each other how brilliant they are. The serpent trolls for unbridled ego, finds it, we give in, we lose paradise. That pattern keeps repeating from Eden through to Tiger Woods. Do you have any idea how gladdened I was to see you draw on that theme too? I am considering that it was contributory to why Buddy pointed you out.<br /><br />Now, with the current wrinkle in the serpent's pattern, we have "scientists" aiding the sacrifice of US sovereignty because they "must do whatever they deem is good" for sustainability. <br /><br />History repeats ad nauseum in part because the institutions of education are infected by the "we're brilliant and won't make the same mistakes if we only <i><b>don't</b></i> look to the past and its errors." George Santayana would never be granted a professorship at Harvard today. (And Edmond Burke would be drummed out of the GOP.)<br /><br />I am grateful simply to exist as a man.
