Has anyone wondered why these corrupt people always seem to place so called, "scientific experts," on a pedestal?

 

Scientism

Scientism is the promotion of science as the best or only objective means by which society should determine normative and epistemological values. The term scientism is generally used critically, implying a cosmetic application of science in unwarranted situations considered not amenable to application of the scientific method or similar scientific standards.

 

In the philosophy of science, the term scientism frequently implies a critique of the more extreme expressions of logical positivism[1][2] and has been used by social scientists such as Friedrich Hayek,[3] philosophers of science such as Karl Popper,[4] and philosophers such as Hilary Putnam[5] and Tzvetan Todorov[6] to describe (for example) the dogmatic endorsement of scientific methodology and the reduction of all knowledge to only that which is measured or confirmatory.[7]

 

More generally, scientism is often interpreted as science applied "in excess". The term scientism has two senses:

 

The improper usage of science or scientific claims.[8] This usage applies equally in contexts where science might not apply,[9] such as when the topic is perceived as beyond the scope of scientific inquiry, and in contexts where there is insufficient empirical evidence to justify a scientific conclusion. It includes an excessive deference to the claims of scientists or an uncritical eagerness to accept any result described as scientific. This can be a counterargument to appeals to scientific authority. It can also address the attempt to apply "hard science" methodology and claims of certainty to the social sciences, which Friedrich Hayek described in The Counter-Revolution of Science (1952) as being impossible, because that methodology involves attempting to eliminate the "human factor", while social sciences (including his own field of economics) center almost purely on human action.

"The belief that the methods of natural science, or the categories and things recognized in natural science, form the only proper elements in any philosophical or other inquiry",[10] or that "science, and only science, describes the world as it is in itself, independent of perspective"[5] with a concomitant "elimination of the psychological [and spiritual] dimensions of experience".[11][12] Tom Sorell provides this definition: "Scientism is a matter of putting too high a value on natural science in comparison with other branches of learning or culture."[13] Philosophers such as Alexander Rosenberg have also adopted "scientism" as a name for the view that science is the only reliable source of knowledge.[14]

It is also sometimes used to describe universal applicability of the scientific method and approach, and the view that empirical science constitutes the most authoritative worldview or the most valuable part of human learning—sometimes to the complete exclusion of other viewpoints, such as historical, philosophical, economic or cultural worldviews. It has been defined as "the view that the characteristic inductive methods of the natural sciences are the only source of genuine factual knowledge and, in particular, that they alone can yield true knowledge about man and society".[15] The term scientism is also used by historians, philosophers, and cultural critics to highlight the possible dangers of lapses towards excessive reductionism in all fields of human knowledge.[16][17][18][19][20]

 

For social theorists in the tradition of Max Weber, such as Jürgen Habermas and Max Horkheimer, the concept of scientism relates significantly to the philosophy of positivism, but also to the cultural rationalization for modern Western civilization.[7][21]

Communist goals.

 

Items 1-14 concerned enhancing the position of the USSR and other Communist nations. Here’s the domestic agenda:

 

  1. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.

 

  1. Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.

 

  1. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers’ associations. Put the party line in textbooks.

 

  1. Gain control of all student newspapers.

 

  1. Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack.

 

  1. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policy-making positions.

 

  1. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.

 

  1. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to “eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms.”

 

  1. Control art critics and directors of art museums. “Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art.”

 

  1. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them “censorship” and a violation of free speech and free press.

 

  1. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.

 

  1. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as “normal, natural, healthy.”

 

  1. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with “social” religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a “religious crutch.”

 

  1. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of “separation of church and state.”

 

  1. Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.

 

  1. Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the “common man.”

 

  1. Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of the “big picture.” Give more emphasis to Russian history since the Communists took over.

 

  1. Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture–education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.

 

  1. Eliminate all laws or procedures which interfere with the operation of the Communist apparatus.

 

  1. Eliminate the House Committee on Un-American Activities.

 

  1. Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI.

 

  1. Infiltrate and gain control of more unions.

 

  1. Infiltrate and gain control of big business.

 

  1. Transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to social agencies. Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand [or treat].

 

  1. Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist goals.

 

  1. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.

 

  1. Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents.

 

  1. Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition; that students and special-interest groups should rise up and use “united force” to solve economic, political or social problems.

 

  1. Overthrow all colonial governments before native populations are ready for self-government.

 

  1. Internationalize the Panama Canal.

 

  1. Repeal the Connally reservation so the United States cannot prevent the World Court from seizing jurisdiction [over domestic problems. Give the World Court jurisdiction] over nations and individuals alike.

 

Does any of this sound familiar?

I was just thinking, Graham now has subpoena power so, who is he going to subpoena first? I suspect that part of all this mayhem in the streets etc is also being used to NOT report whatever Graham does. Remember, they fear being exposed to the public. The media will probably downplay anything Graham does. I think that is where WE come in. We get the information out if the media won't do it.

 

I'm digging right now to see if I can find any info on who Graham might subpoena first or when. No luck so far, just old info.

Thanks for confirming I'm on the right track. Sure is funny how the media and dems break just about every rule regarding impeachment, accusations etc during their three years of hoaxing, but suddenly DON'T like investigations when they are the ones being investigated and….this is the important part, investigated using PROPER rules and laws. Go ahead and cry foul all you want, the people see the truth and it sure isn't coming from the dems or the media.
