and it is commensruate with mine Buddha1.Buddha1 said:That is a heavy pointer that science as a 'skewed', partial view of truth started as a response to exploits of Christianity --- and that is why it is still considered a western phenomenon by the rest of the world.
me))))))EXACTLY!...This is someting i am very interested in. the REASONSof emergence of science as a reaction to a pariarchal myth.
Summarized, i describe the situation thus:
Christianity ha already indoctrinated an psychological split between 'spirit' and'the flesh'. this de-eroticizes spirit. places spirit outside natrual Nature, instinct, sensuality. And so this doctrine guilts theperson in very deep ways. splits the individual from their depths.
Of course this is utterly stifling.
Science arrives, and makes agreement with Church that they will focus on 'matter and its forces' whilst church focuses on 'spiritul' things, WITHOUT being aware of the false premise to begin with!!!!! this can only lead to more confusion which is did/does.
Organised religion had fooled and persecuted the west so much that the society slowly grew extremely suspicious of 'spirituality' and anything which could not be physically verified. Thus came up the concept of science. This is my hypothesis.
Science started as a 'protest' to religion --- but certain ideologies/ institutions (like heterosexuality) that had been vastly empowered by religion promptly took control of science, organised it on the pattern of 'religion' --- you know where the few 'elected'/ selected people who undergo 'training' by the 'authorities' (to ensure that they conform) got to control the science institution.duendy said:OUTof tis confusion pops up science
These days I'm having a hard time getting the sexual attention of two 'heterosexual' men (both are married) off me. All because I happen to profess that men should not be forced to be heterosexuals.Huwy said:Is it that you don't like them Buddha1 because they don't want to play with your wee-wee?
So what do you envisage happening Buddha1? are yuo optimistic, pessimistic, mixture, other.....??....and what can be done? how multilevelled mustbe the reponse to this vast vast problem?Buddha1 said:Science started as a 'protest' to religion --- but certain ideologies/ institutions (like heterosexuality) that had been vastly empowered by religion promptly took control of science, organised it on the pattern of 'religion' --- you know where the few 'elected'/ selected people who undergo 'training' by the 'authorities' (to ensure that they conform) got to control the science institution.
me))))))))(yes, i ca see it very very clearly. rmember Christian religion created insytitutional monkhoods...a collection o men, pressuered to be celibate so as to have power-over 'the flesh'...power-over. sam mindset occurs in protest-science, where we have usually men, who give up the sensual so as to have power-over Nature. same old continues----is maintained.
Non-Christian (and possmibly non-Islamic) societies had not gone through the extremities of Christianity and maintained their 'wholesome' view of the world. But this situation is fast changing today by the globalisation of the world. Globalisation is actually synonymous with 'westernisation' because it is one way --- from west to the east. The west is flushing the east with its material success accumulated through science (people get blinded by all the glitter, and they are losing touch with nature --- after all they have been living under pseudo-heterosexualism too!).
mePPPPhypnotized by the gliter, the neon-flachin mini computers/mobile phones. so busy talkin in em cant talk to real humans next to em.....people getting into vfast debt to keep up with the cuttin edge and the plasma TVs u ang on the wall, etc. glitter, all that glitters is not.......
reminds me of this trip Ralph Metzner/psychologist had Oyuou can read about itonline. will get you address if you want)....he has drunk the Ayahuasca sacrament in South American jungle. he isvery disturbed by the 'glittery; visions he is getting, like gaudy plastic neon lights.....soon he gets theinsightl to just accept the visions. as soon as he does he becomes aware of this vast Serpent deeply underneath these superficial visions. This Serpent represents, or IS..the organic REAL REAL life which nurtures us. Nature.
Bringing of Science into non-Christian societies kills out their superior, natural and wholesome worldview. Not surprisingly it also instills a hatred against male-male bonds automatically (for science carries with it though things --- just like English and western education!). Just like when a particular kind of fish was introuduced in Australia by the Europeans the fish proved to be a disaster for the local flora and fauna. It killed off several local species and spread like wildfire causing irrversible damage to several other species of fish and other flora/ fauna.

You have continuously failed to provide any evidence other than hearsay and idle speculation. That you consider vigorous questioning of your hypothesis to be bigoted merely reveals how far you have to travel in your personal journey towards truth.Buddha1 said:I would rather ignore bigoted people like you. You have continuously ignored my evidences without giving reasons or examining them.
duendy said:eally ineresting genep. Yes i too have heard of what you speak, and you speak as an insider.
I would also like us to remember the millions of animal victims who keep tis horrendous show on the road.
I am of course not criticizing all medicine, as that's be silly, but there is massive abuse. again, like with the mental health part of it, it is the greed to push drugs.

I don't see a reversal of this trend in my lifetime. All I know is as long as I live, whether I'm (we are) going to win or lose, I have to put up a fight. And I know there are several others in this world fighting in isolation (as I am, and you are!)
And there are aspects of life which make things hopeful. So let's hope for the best for mother earth!
What do you think?
i look at it this way. IF people can trash belong to a mindlss, mechanical, and souless mindset which willy nilly trashes planet and expolits all other species including our own, and JUSTIFIES it, then so do i have the right to COMPLAIN aboutsuch abuse. for this is my home like theirs and i have sayBuddha1 said:I don't know Duendy.

me))))nope. i didn't mean it like that
But if a miracle allows YOU to sit back and enjoy the SHOW (life)
then the Laughter and JOY (Kundalini) might just kill you
because YOU are eternally EXACTLY like Krishna, and Norton's hallucination, Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt ) -- this reckless indifference of Laughter and JOY that is Untouchable Complete and Content.
Buddha1 said:I think we are now discussing a very basic point. Is science different from the institution of science? In that case what is science?
I think one pointer to the hypotheses that science is a modern phenomenon is that there was no name for what we call 'science' in the ancient and non-modern, non-western societies.
Does anyone know if there was a word for science in the ancient world? Does anyone know when the word science was soined or used for the first time?
how do you know?Ophiolite said:I made you find it.
