The Exigent Duality

This is the kind of thought-provoking article I enjoy. I verified the author's core facts-- such as the origins of "Nature" magazine, the identities of its founders, and the existence of the so-called "X Club": it all seems to check out. I wasn't able to find an official "mandate" for the club's formation however-- maybe the author embellished that point?

I also did a little reading about Jacques Benveniste. I think I'm just going to start using "Britannica" as my online encyclopedia: read his entry there, then compare it to his Wikipedia page, which reads more like a hit piece than a historical documentation artifact.

One of his biggest research areas was exploring "how organic molecules configure the geometry of H2O molecules and imprint their 'information'" into water.

It's not exactly the same idea, and I can't recall his name now, but there is a an active, contemporary researcher who has evidence to support that all matter pulled into a black hole is encoded on the hole's event horizon, and could be reproduced, or "played back" later. The two theories have similar premises, although the "encoding" mechanism works differently.

The bigger point at play though is how science is used to control the population, essentially based on modern-day versions of Malthus-- "anthropogenic climate change" and the Coronavirus are good examples: if we just put an elite cabal of know-it-all "scientists" and technocrats in charge, they can "cull the herd", microchip everybody, and do who-knows-what-else to "save" humanity.

I personally hold the same view of economics: when you approach the field with complete honesty, it becomes obvious that if you just leave people alone, they organically and automatically generate the optimal patterns of wealth creation which benefits the most people, in the best possible way-- and that any forceful overriding of that order only impedes the general rise in the standard of living.

Therefore-- and I've said this very thing to wifey on numerous occasions-- I wish I could wave my hand, and erase the entire field of economics from the minds of all people: it has long-since served its purpose (study of the obvious "invisible hand" simile), and is only a destructive force used for evil today.

The case of science is perhaps different, but similar: true open-minded scientific inquiry has a never-ending useful purpose-- but today's science is more like economics: implemented not with honesty, but with ulterior motives.
