Description

The Ascendancy of the Scientific Dictatorship The rise of scientific dictatorship is a complex and intriguing phenomenon. In the past, ruling elites manipulated populations through mystical beliefs, but as antiquity gave way to modern history, this system of control began to lose its effectiveness. The ruling class then co-opted a new methodology of truth discernment, contaminating it with their own ideas and gradually shaping it into a new paradigm. Over time, this methodology was influenced by various schools of thought, including metaphysical naturalism, radical empiricism, Malthusianism, Darwinism, behaviorism, and radical environmentalism. These concepts, though often derivative of occult doctrines, have coalesced into a new system of thought that is slowly paving the way for the re-introduction of a hidden god. This book explores the evolution of scientific dictatorship and its implications for our understanding of power and control.
