Are you saying that Scientists are a group of brainwashed individuals who cannot think for themselves,and are falling for the party line because they don’t have the mental capacity to see through the manipulation given to them?
If he doesn’t, then I say that. How can I say that? Simple, during the '50’s all Americans were scandalized when N. Korea brainwashed American POWs to turn against America. That’s when the word entered our lexicon. As a result of that scandal, I and all the other recruits in boot camp during 1961 were taught to 1) Recognize brainwashing; 2) How to resist brainwashing and 3) To resist brainwashing.
Since that time, and since the '70’s, I have internalized those lessons, in regards to our political, media and educational establishments. Dameedna, as a survivor of the Cold War of ideas, I’m here to say that brainwashing of the American public has been going on since the '50’s; and has
increased since the '60’s. (Soviet Communist party had a manifesto of ten points to destroy America - attacking religion one of those ten points.)
Hey, we’re all “brainwashed” by commercials, Academic attitudes, politicians, media cultural opinions, public education and churches. Our only choice, is to pick which brainwashing we’re willing to die for, literally.
Do you even understand what science is about?
If you don’t understand that Science has sold out to political and private funding, then you’re the one who doesn’t know “what science is about.”
Scientists don’t become athiests because they are being manipulated , coerced or any other such theory.
Yes they do, see above. We’re still victimized by the political poison of a dead Soviet Union.
One of the most stringent controls around science and the reason it is SO powerful is that it is immune as a discipline to manipulation through co-ercion.
Urban myth # 1,002.
Ma’am, I respectfully submit, no, it’s based upon
interpretation of data.
so not matter what you WANT to believe, if you put truth first then you simply have no choice but to remove your belief.
I have already submitted that the truthful only choice is which brainwashing to accept.
Not all scientists have integrity and science can be used in dreadful way’s. But the discipline itself is not subjected to the same problems that religion is.
How so? Both Science and Religion suffer those who are against each one, because of media blitz brainwashing both sides.
Ironically enough, you have applied all of the issues of religious education and indoctrination into your post, not even realizing that it isn’t science you are describing. It’s a projection of what you’ve already probably experienced.
Look who’s talking, since I repeat that both Science, Religion as well as everything else in America remains victims of poisonous Communist brainwashing, now forwarded by Al Jazir.
No…scientists are not like the religious by default.
Well, imho, Darwinists are very much like the religious by default of the Darwin cult.
They require evidence and take very little pride in “faith” and believing what they want to.
This does not describe my experience with Darwinists and Darwinism, in the 21st Century.
At least this is the case for those that are respected globally amongst all scientific professionals.
There’s also an Al Gore cult, based more on belief than unbiased review of all data. Said cult has international membership, witness the Nobel Peace Prize.
