Pseudoscience as the Dogma of Wokeism

Pseudoscience as the Dogma of Wokeism.

10/05/23

There is a new science in town. It is not like the old science, which at its best was viewed as a quest for the truth. This new science has been decided, and it has been decided by bureaucrats and authoritarians. It justifies and excuses political agendas and inhumane policies such as depopulation. It cannot be questioned or challenged. It’s given up one of the fundamental foundations of science — that theories cannot be proven only disproven.

Apparently traditional scientists are feeling the burn. They are now being discredited for holding fast to the old science and not embracing the new. The fact is the new science is not science at all, and it has been co-opted into the religion of wokeism as its new dogma.

Ironically, some of the same scientists who are now being pilloried were the ones who championed for the absolute credibility of science, and for its supremacy over religion in the past. They basically used science to try to steer people away from a belief in God and toward what they believed to be a more rational and, therefore, in their minds correct belief system. It seems to me that their version of utopia is one where the cold rationality of science replaces religion.

Therefore, these scientists are horrified to find that a new religion has taken over science, changing all of its tenets and using the credibility scientists instilled in science to add credibility to its own ideological message. And yet, a lot of these traditional scientists are still clinging to their dream of a world without religion. They are still attempting to discredit Judeo-Christianity and make it out to be primitive and irrelevant. They are still attacking it even though it is the only religion capable of countering the spread of wokeism — which is completely perverting the traditional concept of science.

In other words, they are still treating Christians with the same level of disrespect and condescension that they are complaining the woke are now treating them with. And yet, I don’t see these scientists adjusting their behavior.

The fact is the spiritual realm exists. I’ve even heard of a couple of scientists on a podcast express shock and distress at being sucked into woke propaganda when they’re supposed to be above what they seem to deem as the irrational. But the spiritual is powerful among all people including the self-proclaimed rational ones. And just because you are fine, in theory, with a life devoid of the spiritual and emotional dimensions doesn’t mean that most people are or should be that way. And thinking you’re going to win people back from satanic offshoots like wokeism with arguments of cold rationality is impractical. The only defense against Satan is God. The belief in God and His Messiah, Jesus Christ, is the only belief system that can fill the void people have.

It’s Booming! Part 2: Another Term to Explain It All Away

They call it “money dysmorphia.” Yeah, I’m not kidding. It is a new word that has been added to the lexicon of wokeism. It basically means social media is making young adults feel financially inadequate when in fact the economy is actually working well for them! In the article, “Nearly half of young adults have ‘money dysmorphia,’ survey finds. Here are the symptoms.” it states that, “The average household’s net worth has soared in recent years, rising 37% between 2019 and 2022, according to the survey of consumer finances from the Federal Reserve.” (Dickler, 2024) And yet people aren’t feeling well-off. How can that be? Money dysmorphia! Still, the author later admits that, a “prolonged period of high inflation and instability has chipped away at most consumers’ buying power and confidence. Instagram is also partly to blame.” (Dickler, 2024) Notice how the article starts off by admitting that things like inflation have something to do with people’s feelings of financial inadequacy then it pivots to blaming social media. Attacks on social media are being ratcheted up recently. Now, according to the article, the pressure to impress strangers online has warped our perception of financial reality as well.

Then, the article goes on to say that “more than half of Americans earning more than $100,000 a year say they live paycheck to paycheck, another report by LendingClub found.” (Dickler, 2024) Apparently, the cost of living is so high where these people live that it eats away at their income until they have no discretionary income. And really isn’t that what feeling rich is about? The means to have your will met? Isn’t that what really causes people to do the things listed in the article like going on expensive trips and buying things they don’t need? They want to feel powerful and in control? And apparently when they had discretionary income — when the cost of living was less — they felt that way. The media can call this reality whatever they like; they can blame it on a need to impress other people on social media, but in the end I don’t see how telling people they have enough money and implying they are nuts not to see it is going to work. As long as they can’t do as they please whenever they please they aren’t going to feel rich.

Colossians 2 Bible chapter

Colossians 2

For I would that ye knew what great conflict [Or, fear, or, care] I have for you, and for them at Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh;

That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ;

In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing words.

For though I be absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, joying and beholding your order, and the stedfastness of your faith in Christ.

And as ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in Him:

Rooted and built up in Him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.

Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments [Or, elements] of the world, and not after Christ.

For in Him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.

And ye are complete in Him, which is the head of all principality and power:

In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ:

Buried with Him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with Him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised Him from the dead.

And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath He quickened together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses;

Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to His cross;

And having spoiled principalities and powers, He made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it [Or, in Himself].

Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect [Or, in part] of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the Sabbath days:

Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.

Let no man beguile you [Or, judge against you] of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,

And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God.

Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances,

(Touch not; taste not; handle not;

Which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men?

Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting [Or, punishing, or, not sparing] of the body; not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh (Colossians 2: 1-23).

It’s Booming! Part 1

It’s Booming! Part 1

4/10/24

There’s so much propaganda out there that the economy is booming! Funny, one of the only things I see booming is inflation. So, I’ve decided to dissect some of the woke propaganda articles on this and other common themes such as climate change from time to time. After all, pretty much all of these articles conveniently lack a comments section. Therefore, they get to mount their podium and lecture at you as though you are a mere school child and they are your not to be questioned or challenged professor. In other words, you are deprived of the ability to mount a response. I find his frustrating.

The article, “The strong U.S. job market is in a ‘sweet spot,’ economists say.”, makes the following points. Facts: “The U.S. economy added 303,000 jobs in March, the largest gain in more than a year, the Bureau of Labor Statistics said in its monthly jobs report.” (Iacurci, 2024) “The unemployment rate also edged lower, to 3.8%.” (Iacurci, 2024) Spin: “It’s a bit harder for workers to find jobs relative to the “great resignation” era a few years ago.” (Iacurci, 2024) “But overall, the labor market looks healthy and sustainable and is giving inflation-adjusted raises to the average worker, economists said.” (Iacurci, 2024) The author spins that the economy is making progress without “overheating” as it did during the “great resignation” era. It’s adding jobs, but not too many. The spin is this is good for both the economy and workers. According to the author’s spin, “employers are adding ample jobs to their payrolls, unemployment hovers near historical lows, and worker buying power (so-called “real” wage growth) is steadily rising, economists said.”

Facts: “Employers added 303,000 jobs to payrolls in March, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Friday. That’s the largest monthly gain since January 2023. Job growth in the first three months of 2024 — 274,000, on average — beats the 2019 pre-pandemic average by more than 100,000.” (Iacurci, 2024) “The U.S. unemployment rate declined to 3.8% in March, from 3.9% in February. Unemployment has been below 4% — a historically low mark — for more than two years.” (Iacurci, 2024) The author cites Julia Pollak, chief economist at ZipRecruiter who spins, “Those conditions are pushing employers to make “very attractive” offers to new hires and proactively recruit prospective candidates.” (Iacurci, 2024) The author mentions that, “The layoff rate has also been near a historic low for more than two years, as employers hang on to their current workforce.” (Iacurci, 2024) He fails to mention that the tech industry is experiencing severe layoffs. The author then goes on to blame the so-called hot labor market of 2021-2022 for contributing to the high inflation rate. The author admits that, “Wage growth has declined, to an annual 4.1% pace in March from a pandemic-era peak of 5.9% in March 2022, on average. But inflation has fallen more than that, which translates to an increase in household buying power since May 2023.” (Iacurci, 2024)

 “Real hourly earnings — wages after accounting for inflation — grew by 1.1% in February 2024 versus a year earlier.” (Iacurci, 2024) “While workers have lost some leverage, it’s still “relatively easy” to find a job and workers are now getting those inflation-adjusted raises,” Nick Bunker, economic research director for North America at job site Indeed said. (Iacurci, 2024)

The most misleading part of this article is that it’s dealing with rates of increase in wages as compared to rates of increase in inflation over a short period of time. Inflation damage is unfortunately cumulative. In the long term, wage increases consistently outstripping the rate of increase in inflation might make a noticeable difference to consumers. As it stands now, even if the trend continued, they are still contending with prices way too high as compared to their wages. It’s disingenuous for the author and his commenters to ignore the fact that our real wage is still dreadfully inadequate compared to the current cost of living. At best they can say that there has been a sign of improvement they can cite. Instead, they imply that the consumer can go out to their local store and buy more than they could a short while ago. That is wrong. I also think it’s premature to act as though the inflation crisis is over.

Bullying as a Form of Censorship

Bullying as a Form of Censorship

08/25/23

People love a winner; they admire those who get their way. And increasingly in our society anything you have to do to win is not only permitted but encouraged, particularly when your worldview is in sync with the ideology of the power elite. Increasingly, when the more passive-aggressive means of censorship fail, people are resorting to bullying as a winning strategy to push their ideology onto the world. Perhaps it’s this newfound obsession with 100% compliance — the idea that you can change reality if everyone buys in — that’s driving it. For whatever reason, just making your case to the world as to why your belief system is worth considering — letting your argument stand on its own merits — is apparently not enough anymore. Certain people think that they not only have the right to their own opinion but the right and even the duty to prevent other people from expressing or even having a differing opinion. You have to drive those with competing worldviews out of the town square through intimidation and harassment. You have to bully them into silence and self-censorship. Then, you win by default; only your worldview is left standing. As a bonus, other people will see what you’ve done to your rivals, and they, too, will most likely be browbeaten into submission to your will.

Shadowbanning also can contribute to bullying when it’s clear that people with some sort of power are singling out a group for different, negative treatment. It’s the non-woke, non-globalist worldview that’s being shadowbanned. The attitude among the censorship set seems to be: what do you expect? Of course you’re being demoted! Your views, unlike the other side (scoff) are offensive. Just be glad you haven’t had your account cancelled. It’s what you deserve for fighting the current. In reality, they don’t want you gaining traction to reverse the course. But the official line is that it’s normal and a given you should be treated worse than the ones with their ideology. You are basically not treated with respect, and they are signaling to all the bullies that you have lower status in the social pecking order. This in turn emboldens bullies to abuse people for having what they hope will become an unpopular ideology.

At the end of the day, it’s one thing to state your case to the world, and if you can, even comment on another’s opinion if they’re open to comments. But this tendency of seeking out people with differing views and lying in wait for them to say something you don’t like — which shouldn’t take too long to accomplish — just so you can jump all over them should not be encouraged or admired. It should be seen for what it is — bullying as a means of censorship.

Colossians 1 Bible chapter

THE EPISTLE OF PAUL THE APOSTLE TO THE COLOSSIANS

Colossians 1

Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timotheus our brother,

To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ which are at Colosse: Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

We give thanks to God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you,

Since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which ye have to all the saints,

For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel;

Which is come unto you, as it is in all the world; and bringeth forth fruit, as it doth also in you, since the day ye heard of it, and knew the grace of God in truth:

As ye also learned of Epaphras our dear fellowservant, who is for you a faithful minister of Christ;

Who also declared unto us your love in the Spirit.

For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;

That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;

Strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness;

Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:

Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of His dear Son:

In whom we have redemption through His blood, even the forgiveness of sins:

Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:

For by Him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by Him, and for Him:

And He is before all things, and by Him all things consist.

And He is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all [Or, among all] things He might have the preeminence.

For it pleased the Father that in Him should all fulness dwell;

And, having made peace through the blood of His cross, by Him to reconcile all things unto Himself; by Him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.

And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works [Or, by your mind in wicked works], yet now hath He reconciled,

In the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in His sight:

If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister;

Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for His body’s sake, which is the church:

Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God;

Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, and now is made manifest to His saints:

To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you [Or, among you], the hope of glory:

Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:

Whereunto I also labour, striving according to His working, which worketh in me mightily (Colossians 1: 1-29).

The Imperfect Pot

The Imperfect Pot

I am an imperfect pot. God can compensate for my shortcomings. As Jesus said in 2 Corinthians 12:9, “My grace is sufficient for thee: for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Paul the Apostle goes on to write, “Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ’s sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.” (Corinthians 12: 9-10)

There are people who think that human beings should be autonomous from God — who try to eliminate humanity’s bond with God. They don’t think we should have a sensitive side which can bond with God — which relies on Him in order to stay emotionally alive. They don’t think we should have physical weaknesses that can be mitigated by God’s intervention. To them, in the mindset of eugenics, imperfect pots should be destroyed. Those who rely on God should be destroyed.

I am an imperfect pot. I need God to compensate for my weaknesses. I need God because I love God.

Jonah 4 Bible chapter

Jonah 4

But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was very angry.

And he prayed unto the LORD, and said, I pray Thee, O LORD, was not this my saying, when I was yet in my country? Therefore I fled before unto Tarshish: for I knew that Thou art a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repentest Thee of the evil.

Therefore now, O LORD, take, I beseech Thee, my life from me; for it is better for me to die than to live.

Then said the LORD, “Doest thou well to be angry?”

So Jonah went out of the city, and sat on the east side of the city, and there made him a booth, and sat under it in the shadow, till he might see what would become of the city.

And the LORD God prepared a gourd [Or, palmerist], and made it to come up over Jonah, that it might be a shadow over his head, to deliver him from his grief. So Jonah was exceeding glad of the gourd.

But God prepared a worm when the morning rose the next day, and it smote the gourd that it withered.

And it came to pass, when the sun did arise, that God prepared a vehement [Or, silent] east wind; and the sun beat upon the head of Jonah, that he fainted, and wished in himself to die, and said, It is better for me to die than to live.

And God said to Jonah, “Doest thou well to be angry for the gourd?” And he said, I do well to be angry [Or, I am greatly angry], even unto death.

Then said the LORD, “Thou hast had pity on [Or, spared] the gourd, for the which thou hast not laboured, neither madest it grow; which came up in a night, and perished in a night:

“And should not I spare Nineveh, that great city, wherein are more than sixscore thousand persons that cannot discern between their right hand and their left hand; and also much cattle?” (Jonah 4: 1-11)

The War on Moderation

The War on Moderation

3/18/24

Just like the Weimar Republic allowed itself to be browbeaten into submission by the radical left and eventually annihilated by the radical right in the 1930s, our US government’s moderates are at risk of going the way of the dinosaurs. Moderates on both the right and the left are caving to the will of bullying extremists on both sides of the aisle, despite the fact that the moderates are in fact a majority in the legislature as well as the majority in the general population.

In our current time, these radical fringe groups, both left and right, are in agreement on one thing. They want to weaken and then destroy the existing moderate representational government and replace it with an authoritarian one, which will exercise total control over the population. Once the existing representational government is destroyed, then they will battle it out for which, left or right, will be the flavor of the day for authoritarianism. David Winner states in the subtitle of his article, “How the left enabled fascism” that “Ernst Thälmann, leader of Germany’s radical left in the last years of the Weimar Republic, thought the centre left was a greater danger than the right. We should remember his miscalculation.” (Winner, 2021) Just like the left in the Weimar Republic, radicals on both sides would rather see an authoritarian government of some kind than a moderate representational government that represents the people. “For strategic reasons, however, he was willing to help them achieve a key part of their dream, which he shared. The dream was to break the loathsome old liberal order. Such a break, reasoned the leader, would create conditions under which the left would sweep to power and transform the country for the better.” (Winner, 2021) Yet, both sides in the US seem to take for granted that they will come out on top of any power struggle. “Thälmann and the KPD regarded fascists and Nazis as products and tools of capitalism. Since social democrats were also capitalists, it followed that social democracy, fascism and Nazism were simply different facets of the same oppression. To further the dream of a Soviet Germany, the party was willing to help the Nazis destroy democracy, thinking it could beat the Nazis easily in the aftermath.” (Winner, 2021)

Clearly both sides are invested in seeing that the general population doesn’t have a voice or a say in their own lives. Our will is to be replaced by their will. We will be forced to listen to and obey a third party if they have their way.

What the people behind the woke movement have been pushing isn’t democracy as it was understood in the US — which is a representational government based on principle — but rather mob rule. The thought is that you eke your way into power and then you can overthrow any representational government and replace it with an authoritarian one that caters to the woke ideology.

The woke are responsible for starting this latest push toward authoritarianism. Part of their ideology is the belief that they are justified in forcing their social ideology on every living person. Only they believed that they would be able to seal the deal and consolidate their power by now. But for whatever reason, it hasn’t happened. Now it finally occurs to them that power could be given back to those who they trespassed against, and they are panic-stricken as a result. Meanwhile, those they have been open to persecuting the last three years are considering going authoritarian themselves and rule over their enemies the way the woke have tried to do these past three years to them. Some members of both groups have become convinced that their survival is at stake, and the only way to save themselves is to “win.” That is what the propaganda is pushing. As in the Weimar Republic, “In the 1930s, fear of Bolshevism persuaded many middle-class Germans to support Hitler (and led the Catholic Church to throw in its lot with fascism in Italy, Spain and elsewhere).” (Winner, 2021)

If the government does go authoritarian, I’m not sure which faction will come out on top. But I know those who will win are the globalists, and those who will lose are the rest of us. For the globalists will have torn down the strongest representational government in the world and replaced it with an authoritarian tyranny that they will be in a unique position to control.

The problem is we can’t see beyond the false dichotomy that you have to choose between left or right authoritarianism or become a victim of the other side. But there’s always a third way. And that way is God. He’s the One who can empower people to stand up to this mess and restore our ability to exercise our own free will again. And the only way to reconcile with God is through repentance, following His will and His standards, and through accepting the sacrifice of His Messiah Jesus Christ.
