I too, used to love science.
Now I know that everything I learned in science class is wrong.
Even the scientific method. (The observer is part of the equation, and so cannot be excluded from the data. Also, we use inductive reasoning, reductive reasoning to get to solutions. the scientific method demands you only go one way.)
It is not only funding that gets cut, you actually get blackballed from the community. Where is your peer reviewed research? Well, I do not agree with all the peers, because I have data that shows the old ways are wrong, and so, I have nothing peer reviewed or published.
That's the problem. If the observer hasn't taken time to know themselves then they can't remove their bias because they are not aware of it. I became more aware of the influences we find ourselves subject to without knowing when I started replacing my sexual hormones and playing with my chemical balance.
Then I knew that there was no way a person could know that they are being influenced if they've always been influenced. Before that I could had swore I am always in total control of myself, now I know that I don't even know all the things that influence my every-day thinking and acting.
Ah yes the peer review system. I sort of left it out hoping people would watch Rupert's video. I believe he explains it better than I could write it. The black balling is outrageous once I learned that was happening that was my final nail. That is what started my unlearning process of what I thought I knew about science. Once I discovered just how many advances that could have saved us and the resources on this planet many times over were buried because of greed. Sheesh the knots in my stomach......
At least there are some willing to stand up and speak out about it. Who also are trying to strip the nonsense and actually start connecting the real dots to understand what we are looking at.
