Science is a philisophical endeavor that builds and organizes knowledge in the form of testable explanations and predictions about the universe. This includes knowlege about metaphysical things, such as God, or supernatural phenomenon, if they exist.[1] Systematic reasoning is tens of thousands of years old. The earliest written records of identifiable predecessors to modern science come from Ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia (around Iran) from around 3000 to 1200 BC. Their contributions to mathematics, astronomy, and medicine entered and shaped the Greek natural philosophy of classical antiquity, and passed through all of the greatest civilizations, whereby formal attempts were made to provide explanations of events in the universe. In ancient times this philosophy was referred to as "alchemy".
Science as a political weapon
| “ | “We should always evaluate the risks and benefits of efforts to control the virus, in this moment the public health risks of not protesting to demand an end to systemic racism greatly exceed the harms of the virus.” | ” |
—Jennifer Nuzzo, epidemiologist | ||
jews and Marxists frequently use science as a political weapon. Over the course of the fake pandemic (and also, in debates over climate disaster, alar, radon, ozone, etc.). Marxists have lectured us that we must listen to science and heed the scientists. Scientists have important things to say to policymakers and citizens alike. But the same champions of science suddenly changed their tune about liberal "protests". Telling people that they can’t see their dying parents, attend a funeral or make a living because science says "it’s too risky", but that protesting politically is OK, is the best evidence that “listen to science” is a weaponized political term, not a universal apolitical standard.
