Detemporation reprint
A major piece of the current holocaust is
lost definition of time. This is not new among media and
politicians, and not generally new in "science", but it has reached a new extreme in "science". Before 2020 no paid "scientist" would have pretended to rediscover immunity, or pretended that the common cold virus was a brand-new horrible alien threat. Now we have CONSTANT headlines in "real" "science" websites like RealClearScience or Eurekalert, claiming to be surprised that people can develop immunity, or suddenly discovering T-cells.
Detemporation is easier in the digital era. Paper notebooks and printed books are hard to bulk-delete from a distance, and hard to redate from a distance.
Two years ago I analyzed the phenomenon carefully.

Globalism condenses places and people into one undifferentiated mass. Globalism condenses time into one undifferentiated moment.
The
places and people part is obvious and tautologous. Condensing all places into one is simply the dictionary definition of globalism. Condensing all people into an undifferentiated inanimate object is simply the dictionary definition of leftism.
The time part is
not obvious and I haven't focused on it nearly enough.
Orwell focused HARD on the time part. Memory Holes and EastasiaEurasia and

are all examples of detiming.
When your mind has been detimed, you have no way of detecting fraudulent tenses or fake surprise.
Half of all "news" stories cover an event that "could happen in the future" if we don't obey Deepstate fully. In fact the event has BEEN HAPPENING for a long time, generally 30 or 40 years.
The other half of all "news" stories cover a totally fictional event that NEVER happened.
Our detimed brains have lost the ability to compare our past memories with present input. Time deltas do not enter our brains. We can't look back and say "Whoa! This isn't new!" or "Hold on! This never happened!"
Detiming is characteristic of "science" as well. The whole "global warming" fraud depends on detiming. We are not allowed to look at graphs of temperature vs CO2, because those graphs show that EVERY rise and fall of temperature came BEFORE the corresponding rise or fall of CO2. We are not allowed to look at graphs of sea level rise, because those graphs show that the total rise over the last 100 years is just six inches (not 99999999999999 miles), and it's slowing, not speeding. The
shape of the curve is crucial, and you can't see shape without a time axis.
Diet and health advice is closer to the classic EastasiaEurasia. Sugar is good sugar is bad sugar is good sugar is bad sugar is good sug
After we follow a few whiplashes, we lose the ability to say "HEY! You told me the opposite yesterday!" We can't compare present input with memory template. We just passively receive and act on current input,
LIKE AN INANIMATE OBJECT.
And now we're back to dictionary definitions.

Self-calibrating footnote: I'm susceptible to detiming, and proved it right here and now. I started writing this item with the assumption that detiming was common in media and politicians but UNCOMMON in "science". Then I
read what I wrote two years ago and revised the top paragraph. Detiming has infected some parts of "science" for a long time. It's obviously part of the Deepstate flip. When each area of "science" is subsumed within Deepstate, it loses its memory.
Moral of the story: As Winston Smith knew, you have to keep records of your thoughts to avoid detiming. This blog has served the same purpose often. Rereading old items reminds me that I was previously STUPID about some issues, and previously SMARTER than now on other issues.

Honest but still demonic
A "science" "writer" named Phillip Ball is
arguing that science can't be separated from politics.
In one way, Ball is just being realistic. Academia has ALWAYS been ideological. The personal values of scientists have ALWAYS been part of academia's standards and judgments. Taboos change from decade to decade, so the specific standards also change, but the judgments are always ideological and personal, not "scientific".
A recent change in the
economic structure of Big Science accounts for the modern purely partisan D team vs R team bias. Before 1980 there were competing centers of Big Science. Industries had major research labs that were more oriented to
real problem solving and less oriented to raw ideology. Bell Tel, Westinghouse, RCA, GM, oil companies, farm coops, all had their "universities". When we handed our industries to China, those research centers faded out. Now the only non-academic centers are inside Deepstate.
When people are striving to solve real problems, ideology doesn't matter nearly as much. When people are working solely to satisfy a government grant, partisan labels are THE UNIVERSE. All bureaucrats are on the D team, and all bureaucrats hate the R team.
In my field of speech research, Bell Labs was the leader for 70 years. Bell was much less political than universities. (See Shockley.) Bell Labs dissolved in the 80s, and now the only non-academic center of speech research is GoogleNSA, which is even more nakedly ideological than any university.

Phillip Ball is completely blind to the fact that taboos change. He
mentions that standards change, and then
IMMEDIATELY knocks it down. MY standards RIGHT NOW are the ONLY standards, and MY rigidly conformist opinion RIGHT NOW must force us to cancel good scientists who were rigidly conformist to the norms of THEIR own time.
(See detemporation.)
Krylov is right that ‘Scientists are not saints. They are human beings born into places and times they did not choose.’ Yet it is absurd to suggest that, by naming things after them, we do not in some degree elevate and sanctify them.
Good old Github. Good old Room 101.
As Fauci put it succinctly and perfectly:
I am science. Do as you're told.
