Constants and Variables 160, Not so new, not so simple edition
A pretty good observation from Nate Fischer.

He's quoting CS Lewis on the use of "science" to enforce tyranny.

Since outsiders can most effectively challenge the claim to exclusive expertise, it will be most zealously guarded—both by domain insiders who want to protect their power, and by their ideological allies who recognize the power of such "experts" in pushing ideological goals.

Not so new:

This has been the universal norm in academia for EXACTLY one thousand years. We saw it first with Ockham. Fashion has ALWAYS overruled truth.

Rule by experts is newer in corporate circles. It began with Taylorism 100 years ago. (Incidentally, Hartness tried to counteract Taylorism with a focus on the skills and life of the MAN who was doing the work.)

Rule by experts is newest in politics, where it began in 1946 and grew tremendously with the "global warming" coup in 1975.

So what's really new? Only the universal worldwide precisely synchronized application of genocide justified by demonic "experts".

Not so simple:

Real experts who are NOT amateurs have been getting into the argument, and have not been destroyed. Starting with Ioannidis and continuing in Great Barrington, many currently employed academics in epidemiology and related fields have been steadfastly opposing the misuse and obliteration of science and logic and life.

AFAIK, none of these internal dissidents have been fired or jailed. They take lots of verbal abuse on Twitter, and some public outlets have deleted their writings, but that's not new or tyrannical. Public outlets are publishers, and dissidents have never been entitled to have their writings published by the establishment. Dissidents of earlier eras would marvel at the ease of publication and the wide range of available paths. They wouldn't have EXPECTED to be paid by broadcast studios or newspapers.

Unfashionable thoughts have never been "monetized". The monetizers have always worked with Deepstate because THAT'S WHERE THE MONEY IS. Dillinger's rule.

Also not so simple:

Ideology is NOT the dividing line. Ideology is a permanent set of ideas. Our dividing line is strictly BRANDS and TEAMS, just as it was for Sprenger and Kremer and Hitler.

Github/Room 101 is the exact opposite of ideology. The ruling brand switches ideas FAST. You need to know at all times what the rulers want you to think, and you need to be ready with a new set of fake "facts" and ideas to oppose the ideas that you were supporting one microsecond ago.



FAST CHANGE IS THE SOLE PURPOSE. Fanatical cults rely on dizzying switches and spins of ideas and "facts".

Tyrants have always conflated permanent qualities with team requirements. Hitler claimed that he was purifying the world of non-Aryans, which is a permanent genetic category. But his category changed constantly to include nations that worked with him and exclude nations that opposed him. The official definition of Aryan included many non-Nordic groups and excluded many Nordic groups.

Similarly in modern times, the IDENTIFIES AS nonsense has prepared us for the form of this holocaust by confusing and conflating all genetic categories. Race and gender are "constructs", which means BRANDS or TEAMS. Now we're fighting a "virus" that only infects non-Aryans. Muzzles are meant to protect Aryans from non-Aryan cooties. Non-Aryans include some members of every real race and gender. Aryans are the D team, non-Aryans are the R team. Anyone who fits the R model as defined at the current microsecond is a superspreader.

Real viruses don't know anything about team labels. Real viruses ARE real genes in the strictest sense, and they only know about real genes. Real genetic categories, real ethnicity and gender, have different responses to a real virus. This is perfectly clear in the different real infection rates of Caucasians, Orientals, and Africans. We persist in trying to attribute these differences to political and ideological causes, as we have always done with other innate talents and tendencies. This misattribution leads to horribly and INTENTIONALLY WRONG decisions.
