I agree with basically everything you wrote, and I don't think that what I wrote is inconsistent with it. In no way did I mean to imply that most scientists are corrupt. But the juggernaut agenda that is presently the most notorious face of science leverages money to get the results it wants. So, I meant no disrespect to scientists. My own gramps was a government scientist, a specialist in livestock pathology. He was a great man who ended up pushing results that were not welcomed by the Establishment. I suspect he was blowing the whistle on anthrax, which was officially removed from the U.S. armory in the months following his "suicide" – both jugulars severed in an ear-to-ear slash and left to bleed out on the kitchen floor.
I think that steineranon is not trying to say that all scientists are evil. I think he is just talking about the evil of that agenda, the evil that manipulates otherwise good people into serving its ends. Anyway thank you for your reasoned and considerate response. o7
