The weakest link in science/A possilbe solution to the fraud/Join in the informationwar

in #informationwar6 years ago (edited)

 I love science and have practice the Scientific Method for over 25 years. The thing about the Scientific method is that it has it's philosophy about what is needed for an observer to be an observer. It is not well known even by those who study it assiduously. Ask most how an observer knows he can observe and many will cross there eyes at you. The thought will clearly cross their face, that you the questioner are nuts. I will share with you what I think and allow you to research and find for yourself if I am right or just nuts. 

Let us look at how an observer knows he can observe. To do so first we need to look at some epistemology.

 Epistemology 

Epistemology is the branch of philosophy concerned with the theory of knowledge. More at Wikipedia 

The question I want to deal with is often stated 

"What are the necessary and sufficient conditions of knowledge?" 

Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy Is a great place to get the main stream indoctrination on it. It's Free, not really, but that is another story.

The truth about this question is that we have senses and to be truthful we don't know all of them, nor would we ever know if we did know all of them. What we do know about the ones we do know we have, is that all of them have limitations. So for us to know a thing, the thing must come within the limitations of our senses. So we now have a partial answer to the question "What are the necessary and sufficient conditions of knowledge?" To have knowledge of a object one necessary condition is that it must come within the limitations of our senses. Another necessary conditions is that the observer must know that they are a observer.

This is actually to me the most esoteric part of science and its weakest link to reality. People who practice Meditation express the very same condition when they say that they have experienced themselves observing themselves observing. One sits and closes there eyes and attempts to quite the chattering mind. The many conversations our consciousness produces seems to be an endless stream. No sooner does one voice quite then another seems to surface out of the depth of the unknown to spoil the mood.

So this activity of meditation requires patience and persistence, but over time the mind does quite. Things do reach a point of clarity. Where you can sense somehow your own presence and know there is more than one observer. The question then becomes

Why is it important for a Scientist to know he is an observer?

First let me say that as far as I know anyone can do this. So it is not a impossible task and doesn't eliminate anyone that I am aware of. Many scientist never actually meditate and many are not even aware of this aspect of science, because the ability is something everyone can do. So it is not standard procedure to teach this and it is not so important that you know this to be able to practice the method. Now to the question. 

Why is it important for a Scientist to know he is an observer?

It is a necessary ability for experimentation.

One must be able to observe logical conditions to ascertain the effects of the condition. One must also be able to distinguish which effects is a result of which condition. This ability allows the observer to use reason to determine a conclusion about what will happen when you change those conditions. Then one can experiment to determine whether or not the logic and reason is correct or not. 

In my experience the truth is that most first experiments show that the logic and reason does not match the conclusion one can draw from the experiment most of the time. In fact many times not all the conditions are discovered at first, so of course the reason is not apparent at first. This is why hundreds and sometimes many more experiments are necessary in order to determine what the logic and reason is. 

Why is it important that we discuss aspect of the Scientific method? 

Today many people incorrectly think that a scientist must go to our institutions of higher indoctrination to become and scientist. However before big industry lured scientist into high cost labs and paid scientist to work in those labs, science was done anywhere and everywhere. Once the experiment was documented a Scientist would publish his work in news papers and magazines. If another Scientist thought you where wrong they duplicated your experiment in an attempt to prove you wrong. Thus the important peer review was done in the open for all to read and know. Yeah this provided some outrageous spectacles for the public.

Today peer review is done behind closed doors. Where sadly the practice of scientism could flourish and become the norm without anyone knowing that a philosophy religion had high jacked the practice of Science. Thus we have people who are realty priest, who decide how best to protect their reputation from what happens to it when it is discovered there pet theory is in error, behind closed doors. 

Instead of just making a claim with out evidence, I will provide evidence below. Remember those spectacles I talked about. One can see how the spectacles where used to ruin one of the best scientist of his time.

I give you Crookes, William, Sir, 1832-1919. He used the scientific method to study spiritualism. Maybe he was the best scientist of his time. He published his results and was assaulted constantly for his trouble. At the time if you disagree with someone's results you were supposed to duplicate the experiments and publish your results. This never happened. Instead a campaign of character assignation and ridicule is what took place.

Researches in the phenomena of spiritualism

Science is actually a verb. It isn't something that you do by merely reading the experiments of other scientist. In fact if that is all you do or all that is necessary for you to believe, your practicing a religion and not science. I say this next because I am going to show you research that isn't science, but states exactly the case anyway. One can see however that historical traditions and culture have been changed specifically to put a lock on who, what, and where science can be done. In the following case of research, to me it is not science, because no experiments where done by the researcher to confirm the falsity of claims made about the experiments in question. 

Abstract : Summary 

There is increasing concern that most current published research findings are false. The probability that a research claim is true may depend on study power and bias, the number of other studies on the same question, and, importantly, the ratio of true to no relationships among the relationships probed in each scientific field.
In this framework, a research finding is less likely to be true when the studies conducted in a field are smaller; when effect sizes are smaller; when there is a greater number and lesser preselection of tested relationships; where there is greater flexibility in designs, definitions, outcomes, and analytical modes; when there is greater financial and other interest and prejudice; and when more teams are involved in a scientific field in chase of statistical significance. Simulations show that for most study designs and settings, it is more likely for a research claim to be false  than true. Moreover, for many current scientific fields, claimed  research findings may often be simply accurate measures of the prevailing bias. In this essay, I discuss the implications of these  problems for the conduct and interpretation of research.

In my opinion this abstract was written in an attempt to get the fraudsters to pay for the experimenting that would prove the fraud. At least that may actually have been how it was seen by those with the deep pockets of funding. 

Thus with only a short look at the problems that are plaguing the Science of our time, we can see "Why is it important that we discuss aspect of the Scientific method?" and that there is a need for society to straighten out this mess the fraud and political assassinations have created. I just happen to think that we should make Science a course of study in the home. Putting Science back in the hands of the people in a honest and open forum, may be not only the best way to take care of the mess, but also to ensure this doesn't slow societies progress down again in the future.
