(For the Green Scientists)
After President Trump brings Sanity and Fairness back to America and the World, I offer the following proposal in the spirit of a return to Scientific Philosophy to replace a half-century of Pseudo-Science (Fake Science) that is everywhere: all Economic, Political and Social ‘Science,’ Medical ‘Scientific Research‘ and most noxiously ‘Environmental (and Climate) Science,’ to cite an incomplete list.
[It takes a genuine Narcissistic A$$HOLE to prattle the magic cliches ‘Data Driven’ and ‘Evidence Based.’ These credentialed buffoons run practically everything via Unconstitutional Bureaucratic Occupation Government Mandates. True scientific inquiry requires HUMILITY to avoid making inevitable mistakes in judgement. The search is for Flaws in Reasoning – not its Pseudo-Scientific opposite, namely Plausibility. Most of these professional class Schmucks do not even suspect that there is an unavoidable logical difference between causal factors and corelative factors. They love corelative factors – there is always an endless stream of them.]
The Fake Science stupidity began in the late 1960s with such delusions as the invention of a Nobel Prize for Economic ‘Science.’
Environmental hoaxes have more than a half-century history. The first one I recall was ‘Global Cooling.’ The untested hypothesis claimed that coal-burning facilities would throw so much dust into the atmosphere that the sun’s light and energy would be deflected and therefore diminished. (Over a century ago, a massive southwest Pacific Asian volcanic eruption actually threw so much dust and ash into the atmosphere that the entire Earth did get 2 or 3 degrees cooler. It lasted about 3 or 4 years before the actual forces of nature restored the previous normalcy.)
The Acid Rain Hoax lasted a decade before the obvious return to reasoning was restored by realizing that New England farms, before trees were cut down in the hills and mountains, ALWAYS had acidy water runoff from the trees on the hills and mountains – not from the rain in the atmosphere.
Running out of fossil fuel energy has had a half-dozen scares over more than a century until, in each case, scientific advances solved the ‘problem’ until the next Political Environmental Hoax brought it back again. (In the 1960s or 1970s, the ‘Club of Rome‘ assured us there would be no fuel for heating and/or energy in our lifetime. Science saved the day again.) Fracking has been the latest practical scientific solution to fossil fuel energy ‘shortages.’
I have been hearing the ever-growing ‘Global Warming’ Scare for almost 40 years. My sometimes flawed memory tells me that you can find this Scare in a Cold War James Bond movie in the 1980s. If not, it certainly goes back almost that far for certain.
Since Rush Limbaugh died, virtually every single ‘Conservative Radio Host’ or ‘Conservative Talking Head,’ when pressed, will propound it as ‘Scientifically Proven.’
Historically the Scientific Method, which has created all forms of real progress for human life, only became final and complete with the work of a great genius in Philosophy named Francis Bacon (1561-1626). Without continual rigorous skeptically challenging TESTING, a hypothesis is nothing more RELIABLE than any other guess. After Bacon, real science slowly began. ‘Peer Review’ had no effect on public beliefs until every ‘scientist’ world-wide could not find a flaw. (Petitions and popularity contests are for corrupt and moronic fake scientists – not real scientists.) The public had no need or understanding of real ‘Peer Review.’ Today it is a primary basis for politically motivated fatuity.
Political nincompoops, like President Obama and Pope Francis, never tire of terrifyingly lecturing each generation with the ‘humanity and the planet will all die scare’ if we don’t passively adhere to their draconian Bureaucratic Occupation Government (BOG) mandates to lower the standard of living of the vast common people majority. (When commercial aviation is finally abolished, do not delude yourself into believing Private Jet travel for the entire Social Oligarchy Ruling Class will disappear too.)
First a few actual facts. Today’s worldwide human population is 8.1 billion.
Historical world population table follows:
1960 3.0 billion
1970 3.7 billion
1980 4.4 billion
1990 5.3 billion
2000 6.1 billion
2010 7.0 billion
2020 7.8 billion
Today’s US population is 327 million and the EU population is 447 million.
Only in the ‘advanced’ countries do these draconian mandates get imposed. The EU BOG is very big on common people changing their diet from meat for protein (to avoid malnutrition) to ‘Bugs’ and other disgusting Green substitutes.
The combined population of the US and the EU is less than 10% of today’s world. If you have any common sense left, you must realize that the other ever-growing 90% is not going to give up their standard of living for an untested Green Hypothesis.
Finally, my ‘Modest Green-Like Proposal’ in a scientific testing set of protocols.
I suggest a 10-year project to be carried out by all the self-proclaimed Elites who always think of themselves as the Vanguard of Progress. All Universities and their complete facilities including residential and surrounding faculty residencies (i.e., Cambridge and Brookline for Harvard, etc.) will be used in the experiment. I also suggest all ‘Environmental’ Government offices and facilities of any Bureaucracies including those bureaucracies that adhere to the Green faithful beliefs like today’s ‘woke’ military not limited to the Pentagon share a full and complete 10-years living the new Green way. Every grouping of self-proclaimed Elites who like to think that they are molding our culture must share in the great experiment. Such places would include the entertainment industry, Silicon Valley, all news media facilities, and let us not forget the secret real government power locations where lobbyists and lawyers and public relations advocates, etc. cluster around government – most especially J Street!
Severe criminal sanctions must be applied for those who violate the protocols.
If after 10 years all protocols which survived the test of actual human life bring a better life and world than before, WHO COULD RATIONALLY OBJECT to its imposition in all of America and the EU. Would not the rest of the world be happy to follow suit?
Personally, being almost 80-years old, I will not possibly live long enough to eat bugs instead of meat or drink Green recycled post-flushed toilet water – but if it works for our self-described ‘ELITES,’ I guess my skepticism will be completely discredited.
PS. In the last decade of the Soviet Union, before the Cold War ended, the third generation of common people who had been continually told Marxist-Leninist Socialism, unlike all other forms of socialism, was superior to one and a half centuries of socialist thought because it was SCIENTIFIC SOCIALISM came up with this joke. The wide-spread joke exclusively among common people who lived the inferior life style to the Ruling Class Social Oligarchy was ‘how can they call it Scientific if they never tested it on rats?’
PPS. Such humble people maintained a truer understanding of ‘Science’ than the slick-talking medical phony named Fauci and his brethren.
