This is a precise and interesting summary as usual by Dr. Melanie Purcell. Aristotelians ruled for over a thousand years until Bacon initiated the enlightenment along with figures such as Copernicus, Galileo, Brahe, Kepler and Newton described in the online “The Sleepwalkers” by Arthur Koestler. The Einsteinian era was a regression to darkness. It is kept alive by our very own contemporary thought police, lurking in the cesspits of society. When dealing with the them the scientist smiles in secret and looks at Cartan geometry, or studies UFT88 and UFT225. The hierarchy in the Higgs pantomine had to make sure that nothing was discovered in order to feed themselves a lot of money. As Dr Purcell argues here, that was “extremely unscientific, sensational and entirely fictional …” No collection of circus clowns could make us laugh so heartily were it not all so evil.
Things can get nasty
this is the sad state of affairs with most disciplines, unless one’s work is entirely useful for a specific form of information that serves corporate partnerships with academic institutions, or indeed, in support of a “criminal landscape”…and in this, such work may be extremely unscientific, sensational and entirely fictional or mixed with half truths which hook an audience that is inherently disenfranchised from scientific knowledge, or may simply appeal to the presumption of a “natural” or inherent corruption in the human being which is thought to be impossible to transcend …for example a relatively recent book called “In praise of Prejudice”. There is no mention of the means through which a higher order of information may be accessed from that which is apparent. In fact the visible is commonly denied as the font of illusion, incapable of leading us on towards higher truths………..there are so many philosophical works that simply get caught in the semantic/semiotic debate, or the labyrinth of mystical notions, and generally add to the confusion, where the notion of conspiracy stimulates the anarchistic intention to destroy the very things which attempt to provide necessary services for a civilised and complex society. These works I see to be most useful to those who seek to negate the value of context, of revelations regarding the source and cause of evidence, of the process within which the gathering of raw data, its dependence on specific technological defined tools and domains, and the implications of these, or the denial of there being facts at all, or any means of accessing truth and in turn of accessing a sensible comprehension of the aspects of reality that our technologies have permitted us to engage with—-with our gaze cast on macrocosmic and microcosmic domains that have previously been impossible, in a manner where the progression of technologies, also progressively conceals the foundational means through which such technologies have come into being in the first place…….and for whatever reason- be it couched in terms of supporting or negating forms of theology or other culturally conditional impositions which arise from the construction or deconstruction of fixed social hierarchies or cast systems which reflect some simplistic presumption of a naturally occurring hierarchies and the assumed right for top down information flows and control systems—- all a necessity particularly if the realisation of foundational research is itself negated from the child’s process of educational induction……….the maintenance of an adult/ child distinction, where the child is not permitted to become an adult, and is instead cultivated to accept fictions is a problem which takes us right back to plato’s hope for a censorship of the very fictions (particularly in his case, concerning the myths of chronos et all related “gods and goddesses”) which destroy or conceal the means through which a scientifically matured community of adults may flourish……..in fact the opposite form of a community than that which an oligarch, despot or tyrant would wish to cultivate…….and as such, Plato informs us of a principled attempt to reveal which is contrary to Aristotle’s political point of view which supports those who seek to deny education of foundational facts to masses.
