but the gov’t grant money keeps coming. C.S. Lewis had it right 80 years ago. it’s called “scientism,” and its there to roil and panic common folks while promoting the political agendas of the perpetrators.

Since science research began being funded by tax payer monies in the form of grants, universities have been churning out “scientists” at factory piece work rates to take advantage.

Peer Review is largely the Royal Priesthood protecting its turf from outside forces and perceived heretics.

Think the SES, a.k.a. Swamp. Power corrupts; it is human nature.

The scientific method is a tool, and a good one, but it is nevertheless limited, and not sentient; it requires objectivity but does not guarantee it.
