I gave up a career in medicine after my degree in Neuroscience in 1986 because I felt that the politicising and corporatising of Science by bad actors was utterly corrupting true scientific endeavour. Group-Think has also taken over, where free and sovereign scientific thinking is now boxed into a corner by the (subjective) cultural, social and psychological frameworks of the era, as is now, within which ‘science’ has to operate. Now that the ‘post-modernist’ corporates have killed God and set up a religion called ‘Scientism’ in his place, we as a species will be far worse off than before.
It is good to know that finally, almost 40 years later, people are waking up to some existential truths.
By 1981 Jean Piaget had completely and utterly debunked the Neo Darwinist and mechanist Richard Dawkins five years in advance of Mr Dawkins actually writing ‘The Selfish Gene’. Piaget’s momentous work was a book called ‘Adaptation and Intelligence – organic selection and the phenocopy’ – published by the University of Chicago Press. Yet still Richard Dawkins went on pushing his same old tired mantra for the next 40 years. Perhaps the only blindness was his own and not that of the ‘Watchmaker’. Piaget showed that random mutation through a blind mechanistic process is simply a small epiphenomenon of the actual process, one of intelligent design and correspondence between organism and environment. Calling it ‘Divine’ in truth means that this process is orders of magnitude beyond current scientific understanding. Dawkins being utterly wrong, has not only completely devalued the beautiful and ‘intelligent’ truth of the world. But, as an atheist, a propagandist and an establishment thinker he has ‘seeded’ ridiculous ideas into mainstream thought.
Reductionist thinking is dangerous and sloppy. It is the result of applying the (subjective) ‘scientific method’ (reduction of variables) to our own thought, or left brain thinking as Iain McGilChrist would put it. The post modern take of ‘deconstruction’ a la Jaques Derrida, now applied to Science, frankly, is utterly ridiculous. Any biologist worth their degree knows that Gestalt’s principal of “the whole being greater than the sum of the parts” hints at an experiential truth that low-order blind reductionism thoroughly misses. You cannot reduce everything down to components in order to reach a higher order of truth than the ‘holistic’ whole of a particular system. Not only that, but the approach needs to be one of a processual phenomenology (Maurice Merleau Ponty) and philosophy (Alfred North Whitehead) based on and built from the Organism, not a static destructive descriptive analysis that leads nowhere.
The Covid Pandemic response and the utterly unscientific drivel touted as ‘facts’ such as: the testing and mandating of experimental gene therapy in oppostion to the Nuremburg Code and the rights of citizens , the pretence that the vaccination would stop the virus and stop the virus spreading in each individual, burying the facts that natural immunity (without lockdown) would increase antibody spread (herd immunity) and reduce infection, the lie that the the masks had any effect other than ‘virtue signalling’ for the ignorant ‘group-thinkers’, the lie that Ivermectin was a horse de-wormer, but was in truth an 80% efficacious anti-viral, all goes to show that so-called medical science today has no interest in Public Health or the Public’s interest. Politicised, corporatised and corrupted beyond belief and reason, Doctors and Scientists now are forced to kow-tow and speak rubbish to protect their jobs and livelihoods, status and influence rather than speak the undeniable truth. Welcome to the new totalitarian world.
In 1983 I was experimenting with low dose LSD in an effort to understand consciousness and LSD’s efficacy in the treatment of Schizophrenia, Depression and Trauma. In fact my thesis in Neurobiology was on the subject of LSD therapeutics – a poisoned chalice if ever there was one. LSD therapeutics was simply a no go area, as no-one would touch it because no Corporation or Government body would fund it. Why would any ‘establishment’ that conditions its citizens allow for their instantaneous de-conditioning through the use of LSD? It is often the faulty ‘conditioning and associative learning’ caused by the society in which we live that leads to the ‘psychological damage’. R.D Laing was thoroughly right on this. Schizophrenia is a developmentally acquired condition, brought about by trauma, fear and punishment on family and societal dynamics.
So the Science sat gathering dust for a reason.. LSD was, is and will be the single greatest key to unlocking the conscious mind and the single greatest therapeutic, Yet it is ignored. Now, if Pfizer held the patent on it ( and on Ivermectin for example), it would be a totally different story. ‘Unfettered’ capitalist thought from the Left Brain has made Mankind (sorry, personkind) go mad for all the wrong things. Iain McGilchrist’s book “The trouble with things” goes into far more detail than I could on this and so I am indebted to him that so many years later, Iain can corroborate, clarify and embolden my ideas that took shape at University in 1984, and led me on this particular ‘life’ path. Iain appears to have synthesised the whole of humanity into a ‘holistic’ scientific work on the nature of Mind.
After the Covid Pandemic genocide, the World has changed. This was shown by the hateful (anti-hippocratic anti-scientific) and blatantly ignorant treatment of the vulnerable, high risk groups, and those who didn’t take the vaccine, as well as all those who died and suffered injuries at the hands of vaccine injury. The novel, not fully tested mRNA gene therapy is a vaccine in name only. They even changed the definition of a vaccine in order to make such a radical live testing scenario more palatable to the ignorant.
Perhaps the horror of what happened from 2019 to 2022 will be airbrushed out of history by those responsible for the failure. The public are ever pawns in the continual experiment of power and control by those parasitic people and parasitic ideas who feed off others, pretending to act in the public interest, yet serve themselves and their own interests.
My only comfort is that such a brilliant and renowned Neuroscientist like Iain McGilchrist is carrying the torch for humanity by showing us what the Gnostics warned 2000 years ago, that Yaldabaoth (the left brain emissary demi god of grasping matter ) is unaware of yet the progeny of Sophia ( the right brain Master/Mistress goddess of Wisdom).
My best wishes go to Adrian Clark, wherever he may be, who introduced me to both Karl Popper and LSD, and the lifelong jouney of truthseeking.
