Science is never settled.
It is through questioning and repeated
testing of theories that knowledge increases and
civilization advances.
Had the ruling class decreed man’s inability
to fly was settled science and the unwashed believed
them, the Wright brothers would have obediently
continued building bicycles.
Fortunately, flight was not settled science
and the Wright Flyer eventually led to the 747 and
transcontinental flights.
Here are four other examples proving my
point.
Ailments of early American patriots were
often treated with the 18th century,
medically accepted practice of blood-letting.
Thomas Paine, the author of “Common Sense,”
barely survived a well-intentioned phlebotomy
performed by fellow patriot Benjamin Rush.
Blood-letting was settled science and not up
for reconsideration.
In 1972, John Yudkin, a British
professor of nutrition, theorized it was sugar, not
fat causing obesity, heart disease and diabetes.
Ruling class nutritionists blamed dietary fat
and cholesterol as the cause and Mr. Yudkin was
ridiculed for being a fat denier.
The benefits of sugar over fats became
settled science and was not up for debate.
On August 14, 1975, the New York
Times reported the earth was “heading for another
ice age.”
On December 10th, 1976 Science
magazine warned of “extensive Northern Hemisphere
glaciation.”
Earth’s impending ice-age was settled
science, so all contrary opinions were silenced.
Saturday, April 22nd
was Earth Day and leftists encouraged everyone to
march for the settled science of man-caused climate
change.
Ruling class activists claim 97 percent of
climatologists agree man is destroying the planet,
so climate change is not due additional study.
This brings me to my point.
The above claims are wrong
because scientific questions are forever subject to
debate and most definitely, they are never, ever
settled by a show of hands.
Consider
these truths:
·
The practice of blood-letting was
exsanguinated in the 1800s.
·
In 1960, America’s obesity rate
was 13 percent, but excessive dietary sugar
consumption grew it to 35 percent by 2000.
Yudkin was right, sugar is the culprit.
·
The unstoppable ice age froze in
its tracks in the 1980s, but the same people fanning
its flames instantly switched horses to claim the
Earth was then warming out of control.
Protestors marching for science on Earth Day
2017 are too indoctrinated to recognize the con.
Data claiming the earth just suffered its
three warmest years was altered and millennials have
swallowed the theory the ruling class can control
the weather through tax policy.
They are mesmerized into submission by
state-sponsored, settled science even though it is
in error.
