The most honest assessment on this subject (that I have ever read) is "Industrial Society And Its Future" and its subsequent, updated and expanded version; "Technological Slavery" by Theadore Kaczynski aka "The Unimbomer". Not for the weak or faint hearted. Not for anyone who has any allusions that anything less than a total breakdown of the system will stop the system from devouring every last vestige of human dignity, autonomy and freedom. Nothing will stop what is coming expect a total technological apocalypse. There is no reform. And revolution is about as possible as stopping the meteor that wiped out the dinosaurs from striking. In a way, it's already happened. All one can do is wake up and watch the the transition with as much detachment as possible. Control what you can, but most people have no idea what this means. Again, I wholeheartedly recommend reading ISAIF and Technological Slavery.

Thanks, Toby. Another evocative read that rightly warrants more conversation. And several great comments & links to follow up on.
This one, less erudite perhaps, and written a while back originally though for those who call themselves 'Christian' and are thinking through issues of faith, science & healing...admittedly requiring more rigorous thought in relation to more recent findings
Here's a listing of great readings regarding Science and anti-Power.

- Jeff Schmidt, _Disciplined Minds_ (on how TheScience's servants of the ruling class are formed)
- Brian Martin's works in science and technology studies: https://www.bmartin.cc/pubs/sts.html (he's a great radical scholar who, sadly, failed the Covid test)
If you want to understand the unholy alliance of science and power, the best place to start is with Francis Bacon. Most of his writings are notoriously obscure, but The New Atlantis is a short novella worth reading to compare Bacon's 17th century vision to the modern technocratic state. I wrote about Bacon here: https://aetherczar.substack.com/p/23-francis-bacon-and-the-birth-of
I also recommend Robert Frederick's The Hidden Life is Best for a more in depth look at "the greatest story never told of the most influential man who ever lived." His website is a good entry point to his fascinating podcast: https://thehiddenlifeisbest.com
A thought I had reading this.....If God and Satan exist they must have some deal with Human Knowledge that no matter what its not allowed to tilt the spiritual battle field in any way. That we must remain perpetually in a state where there is a 50/50 chance Good isn't going to win, the Good decision isn't going to be made. That if a particular increase in knowledge can reduce suffering and make life easier there must be a way for corruption to seep into it, bend it, so it can do just as much harm somewhere else, at least spiritually if not also physically.
This is insightful, into a larger area. Looking at the etymology of the word "science", I find it to have roots in being a word for "knowledge". I have otherwise divided this into empirical and analytical components.
What is the deal with power? Government? A central authority - a church, even. I have written deeply about this - it is power over the mind, and by rule it is how states are run. It is important for the leadership to manipulate or control the minds of the masses, to serve leadership agendas.
Here is a link to philosophy/architecture from 18 months ago that I wrote, which characterizes the problem with civilization as one where there is a central authority, but the people aren't intimate with it, and so they are easily fooled by the people in the authority, and the press is easily corrupted, because they're all private interests. Cheers.
Not really a book, but I'd add the large study (done at Yale, I think?), about which messages were more "effective" (manipulative) in increasing vaccine compliance ... fear / guilt / belonging / obligation, etc.
"Science" being used to understand how to better manipulate people to believe what pretends to be science and to not be curious about real science.
"Education in a scientific society may, I think, be best conceived after the analogy of the education provided by the Jesuits. The Jesuits provided one sort of education for the boys who were to become ordinary men of the world, and another for those who were to become members of the Society of Jesus. In like manner, the scientific rulers will provide one kind of education for ordinary men and women, and another for those who are to become holders of scientific power.”
The course could include a module on: How modern medicine has been shaped by the Rockefellers; The corruption of science in medical journals due to conflicts of interest with pharma; The corruption of medical science in universities due to conflicts of interest with pharma; The effects of conflicts of interest with pharma on medical education and vaccine education; The influence of pharma on school vaccine mandates; How the WHO/Gates aims to control global health policies and eliminate personal sovereignty for all; The power of media propaganda on science; The destruction of science via censorship; The Church and its denial of scientific facts; the difference between 'experts' with conflicts of interest versus those without in science and medicine; the effects on society when biological science subjects are not taught to all students; the dangers of liability shields for pharma; the suppression of alternative medical modalities; the relationship of power and status attributed to medical doctors; the effects of unregulated power by NIAID and NIH in the grant process; the Milgram experiment and how it played out in hospitals during covid; how to implement checks and balances into science and medicine.
Thanks for this! A recommendation:The Lessons of History by Will and Ariel Durant.
Thanks for this very insightful article and ambitious project - much needed!

So many great book suggestions from your evidently very erudite readers Toby! I've got lots of reading to do now! : )
