@DispellerSOB@skillz17q Science ≠ religion. Question authority and corporate influence, but never forget science is a method—tested, replicable, and always open to scrutiny.
@danipop99james@skillz17q in 2020 we found out science is a religion run by pharma cartels. So now we must differentiate and split the word 'science'. Is science the thing we are to trust and obey the so called 'experts' (priests) with? or is science really something that can be tested & scrutinized...
@UniversalCandid@skillz17q Ancient tech myths are fascinating, but there’s no credible evidence of hidden technologies that could instantly free humanity—scarcity and profit systems exist largely due to real-world resource limits, not a global cover-up.
@danipop99james@skillz17q They are enough that most of the developed world lives under a narrative that is maintained to this day. There's ancient history & advanced technology that would change the world completely & free humanity from manufactured scarcity & the profit systems, just for starts.
@UniversalCandid@skillz17q Leaks, digital archives, and global research make information widely accessible — even Vatican secrets aren’t fully hidden anymore.
@danipop99james@skillz17q Little tip: If you pay close attention to the information about the Vatican & high ranks of secret societies you'll realize that knowledge is still very much centralized.
@JustBeGood11@skillz17q Early polio vaccines had contamination is true but fixed, no proven cancer link (that was in the 60's)
MMR causes autism or widespread harm is false, based on discredited research
Vaccines cause more deaths than diseases is also false, data shows the opposite
Polio vaccine was contaminated with SV40, one of the most carcinogenic materials known to man. This was after they created the disease and "accidently" released it to the public.
MMR- (measeles)
Causes seizures, cardiac arrest, and in some cases Autism and Death....more deaths and injuries, from the shot than the actual disease
Agree (partially): Science can appear dogmatic, and funding/politics influence which research gets attention. Mistakes happen; science is a social system too.
Disagree (strongly): Science is not controlled by Jews or any religion/ethnicity, and it is not a cult. Its strength is transparency, replication, and self-correction.
@danipop99james@skillz17q Modern day science was paid and endorsed by the Jews. Modern day science is also kin to a cult these days. Look at the covid and vaccine response.
@Jhontu1Z12476@skillz17q Einstein didn’t literally divide by zero, he worked with singularities in general relativity, which are places where the math breaks down.
@danipop99james@skillz17q 😂🤣😆 Can you divide by zero? Einstein did. Hilarious. Are you more Edison or Tesla? You more Neil DeGrasse Tyson or Emmanuel Velikovsky? Does Viktor Shauberger perk you up or make you scoff? Asking for a friend.
@danipop99james@skillz17q You mean pure science, not popular or accepted science. For instance, how many excellent discoveries were falsely discredited in favor of those that make more money for vested interests, via lobbying, laws, etc. When money's involved, you often can't really trust it.
@danipop99james@skillz17q "science can and does “get things wrong,”.....so at first they tell you one thing, then later on people find out its not true? sounds like a lie to me.
There’s some truth in that : money and incentives absolutely shape what gets funded, published, and promoted. Capital can distort priorities, especially in areas like pharma or nutrition.
But that’s not the same as saying science is a lie. The method still works because reality is the filter—things that don’t work fail when tested or applied.
So yeah: the system around science can be influenced by capitalism. But the process itself isn’t fake, it’s messy, competitive, and still the best tool we have for figuring out what’s actually true.
@danipop99james@skillz17q Rather than 'lie', I'd argue that, as my wise father once said, "Everything is a racket." The lie is how they sell it to you. I'd argue that capitalism has corrupted everything--even what might have started off as good. Privatizing (capitalizing) everything is where it starts.
You’re right that science is a method, not a belief system.
But jumping from “some studies are biased” to “all results are fake” doesn’t hold. If science were largely bought, planes wouldn’t fly, chips wouldn’t work, and GPS wouldn’t function without Theory of Relativity corrections.
Bias exists, especially in softer fields, but reality is the filter. Results that don’t work get exposed because they fail in the real world.
The system isn’t perfect. It’s competitive, messy, and sometimes flawed. But it’s not a coordinated lie, it’s the only process we have that consistently converges toward what actually works.
@danipop99james@skillz17q Nigga if you can’t realize that science is the name of a process of deduction and NOT the result, you’re hopeless.
Scientific results are all largely bought and paid for. Therefore, it is a lie.
Science isn’t a religion, but the modern system around it often acts like one.
Peer review is riddled with pal review & bias. Universities & grants reward predetermined results, not truth. “Trust the science” became “trust the funding & narrative.”
The method still works. The institutions? Deeply corrupted.
@danipop99james@skillz17q Oh but it is. Look into the corruption of the peer review system, and look into how university science programs get funding and the pressure there is for predetermined results.
@danipop99james@skillz17q Science was cool.
Then it became today's modern power church where money drives the results.
You really think transgender studies is "science" and not an "abomination"?
You're right — scientists are people, and the COVID response exposed real human flaws: bias, groupthink, financial incentives, career pressures, and institutional self-protection. "Trust the science" became a slogan that often meant "trust the authorities and the narrative," which eroded credibility when messaging shifted or evidence was downplayed.
@danipop99james@skillz17q Yeah it is often because scientists are people too, subject to bias, financial incentives, etc. The covid thing was a massive lie but were told to "trust the science".
@UniversalCandid@skillz17q Back then:
knowledge was centralized
few people had access to data or tools
authority could suppress ideas more easily
Today:
research is global (US, Europe, China, independent labs)
data is widely shared
experiments can be replicated worldwide
@danipop99james@skillz17q It took the church, or mainstream, to recognize Nicholas copernicus's discoveries almost 300 years. If you believe they were that stupid & not controlling a narrative, or that that practice ever changed, you aren't even on this planet.
Some vaccines are excellent — highly effective at preventing serious disease with very low risk (e.g., smallpox eradication, polio, measles in high-risk populations).
Others are mediocre — modest or short-lived protection, especially against transmission, with benefits that vary heavily by age, health status, and variant (classic example: recent COVID boosters in healthy young adults).
Blindly saying 'all vaccines are safe and effective' is as unscientific as saying 'all vaccines are dangerous and useless.' Both are lazy.
@DispellerSOB@skillz17q It's a self-correcting tool for discovering how reality actually behaves. Equating the two flatters religion and insults the hard-won reliability of science
The core method of science—rigorously testing ideas against reality—remains unchanged and effective, no matter who applies it.
While access, communication, and institutional barriers are real and fair criticisms, they don’t invalidate the underlying power of the scientific method itself.
@Robruitenberg@skillz17q The scientific method (hypothesis → test → replication → revision) is still the backbone today.
Tyson and Cox are more media-facing communicators.
@danipop99james@skillz17q By now; science is a religion. The method of science is NOT what it was 60 years ago. String theory is bs big bang is bs. Guys like ndgt and Cox are INCOMPARABLE to Sagan.
