Standing ovation, Jeff! 👏👏👏

“It became Science with a capital ’S’.”

And then it became The $cience™!

“Belief in capital-S Science required faith, not reason.”

🎯 I wrote something similar in my very first Substack post over three years ago:

“This ideological mass psychosis is religion—not science. If this were about science, the Media–Pharmaceutical–Big-Tech complex would not be memory-holing every dissenting voice, vilifying every thought criminal, and censoring every legitimate inquiry in quest of the truth.” (https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/a-primer-for-the-propagandized)

As Richard Feynman said, “I would rather have questions that cannot be answered than answers that cannot be questioned.”

I take issue with the following statement, though 😁

“This irrational train would shortly pass through the rabbit hole tunnel and arrive at an Alice in Wonderland station where the gift shop sells books like Anti-Racist Baby.”

As one of my favorite Apocaloptimists, Jeff, I think you will especially resonate with the piece I published yesterday, as will many C&C readers who are practitioners of Confront the Brutal Facts + Stockdale Paradox:

• “Against Defeatism: The Apocaloptimist Manifesto” (https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/against-defeatism-the-apocaloptimist)

P.S. Did you know C&C is #3 in Substack’s Top 25 list of Health Politics Substacks? 🏆

It should be #1, but you’ll get there :-)
