The State fully endorses the Scientician approach, as the State's sole function is to transfer money and power from the poor to the rich at the fastest practicable rate. As always, symbolic "initiatives" and strongly worded press releases are sufficient responses to public pressure to "do something" about, for instance, global warming.
Well, the global-warming end-of-the-world scenario is just state propaganda. And notice that *global* warming requires a *global* solution, like, say, 'monitoring' and controlling the 'carbon footprint' of every individual. Pretty convenient, the world is saved and the whole world's population gets fully domesticated. The technological, fascist 'progressives' are basically correct when they say that all technical problems can be solved. So if you expect their technical plans to catastrophically fail, you'll wait forever. Aldous Huxley - The Ultimate Revolution https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2WaUkZXKA30
When our propaganda industries co-opted the image of science as a marketing tool, this already complex and contentious field of human activity became a /real/ hairball. Almost nobody who lacks formal training in the physical sciences stands any chance of understanding, much less evaluating, claims made In The Name Of Science today.
