"
He has no business having a position of control in this country."
Coincidentally, I was just arguing with some Freepers in another thread who seemed to feel the same way about a lowly state senator simply because she rejected "science" and believes in the young earth concept. She was not advocating anything evil like the authors mentioned here. But still some considered her dangerous for rejecting scientific consensus.
Suspicion of scientific consensus has become the SANE position in the modern era of the marriage between science and tyranny.
As I said earlier:
Ahhhh... eugenics and the millions slaughtered in its name. The first fruits of Darwinism. And the beginning of the takeover by the secular savior, science, from religion as the number one excuse for tyranny, war and murder in the modern world.
Suspicion of scientific consensus has become the SANE position in the modern era of the marriage between science and tyranny.
The Structure of Scientific Revolutions
by Thomas S. Kuhn
The Structure of Scientific Revolutions is one of the best books I've ever read. It describes how the human community clings to an idea long after it has first been doubted or disproved, until finally, the disproofs are so overwhelming that a massive shift in thinking occurs. Kuhn coined the phrase "paradigm shift." An illustration: when you allow water to drip into a tumbler in the sink, eventually the water will mound up above the level of the rim without pouring over -- there is a tension created by water cells adhering to similar cells until finally, a "last straw" drips down that causes the liquid to run over the edge. He says new ideas are like that -- they require not just "an equal but opposite reaction", but an extra measure of force to trigger a change in consensus.
