Sometimes, Science is About Power
There are two opposing forces that steer the course of consensus science - quality of thought on one hand, and narrative control on the other. But should humans be worried that modern science is about power? This video introduces a full conversation with Jeremy Rys from @Alienscientist on YouTube.
Jeremy’s grown a community around cutting-edge engineering, and has started a lab that builds and tests various prototypes to see what gems may have fallen through the cracks of history. Extreme patience rewards the seeker, for even the most insane theorists will produce the occasional pearl of wisdom. If researchers on the cutting edge dismissed everything ever labeled as “pseudoscience,” maps of the universe would probably still have Earth at their center.
Here, we explore the powerful pejorative term “pseudoscience,” which conflates two ideas: outright charlatanry AND scientific heresy, where it is invoked to silence challengers to the status quo.
