When any religion gets a cult status, almost everyone views it in a bad light. But I have always been in the opinion that all religions are cults. Pretty much this joke. "What's the difference between a religion and a cult? About 10 Million Members." But I digress. And worse of all, A new cult is rising and it's look very ugly and I need to start arguing against what is going on with it.
It's Scientism. It's a dogmatic view of science that definitely sounds more like religious drivel and talk with the same condescending attitude, guilt trips, and all sorts of other situations of organized religion. However, the main difference that Scientism says is that it's "Science." The most lackluster argument for a scientific method of analyzing of data, evidence, and logic and applying it to the real world, I've ever heard. And primarily Scientism has been making itself more noticeable in one of the most conflicting and controversial movements that hardly seems like a controversy to many; Environmentalism.
Everyone is crazy about saving the planet by saying fossil fuels, technology, and all assortments of other human progress are going to make the planet uninhabitable for us. All of which was centered around this idea of "climate change." But the term in it itself is a vague notion of something that happens to the planet all the time. The earth goes through constant climate change. When in history (preman or man) has it ever stayed the same? Where temperatures were the most constant they have ever been or the ice levels were always in equilibrium? But then they respond with it's "man made climate change" that's been hurting the world. Now we have a more definitive definition but now it's ridiculous and very alarming. Pretty much the environmentalists are asking us to say that we need to give up our creature comforts and the items that have given us the change to progress and live since the Industrial Revolution and live in primitive savage times where we were stuck hunting with spears and knives, waging war with local tribes and groups, and hating one another rather than connecting and understanding one another.
I'd like to quote one of my favorite comedians George Carlin about Environmentalism. "The Planet is Fine. The People are Fucked!" It's true. The way we have a snooty Intelligentsia that refuses to acknowledge their own mistakes, a bunch of sheeple who have taken it all for granted and thus haven refused to learn anything about what science actually is and what goes on with it, and the extremely annoying celebrity endorsers, like Leo DiCaprio and Al Gore, who demand that we all do the same while also having a hypocritical attitude towards it (Like many televangelists and other "officials" I know with a "do as I say not as I do" attitude) by living in their non-green homes and purchasing and using non-green technologies. Also to quote Carlin again on the environment, "Environmentalists don't give a shit about the planet. They don't care ... You know what they're interested in. A clean place to live." I feel that's how they are. Even Eric Idle, one of my favorite comedians from the troupe Monty Python, says climate change deniers should be put down easily. I wish it was a Monty Python sketch but I guess your heroes always find a way to disappoint you in the end. And I looked this up and people say he co-founded Earth Day but in reality he was the Master of Ceremonies on the first Earth Day but he is a true evil psychopath; Ira Einhorn had murdered his ex-wife and used her as compost for their plants.
Scientism is a poison now killing off the thing that is important to all of us, human knowledge and understanding and now its becoming politicized, subjective, and altruistic with its philosophies corrupting it's very foundation. Trump said he's drain the swamp but the swamp that needs draining the most is the swamp of bad ideas. Only then can people have truly better and flourishing lives.
