   And that's what people want the perfect reconstruction of the past, too. Well, so the I'm so what I'm saying is that these are different things. Like uh the the the perfect reconstruction of the past has emerged as a corruption of the fact of how people feel about science. But what people really want when they say trust the science is they want to know that their government is going to do things that work. Perfectly. As well as as as perfectly as they can. And I think that's a legitimate desire. Yeah, yeah. But there's this wire that's crossed because most people aren't scientists. There's The…

   Complex modern societies are now constructed on a sort-of “paternalistic model” with the idea of a limited number of specialized hierarchical leaders (in government, science, and industry) and a great number of followers. The approved leaders in a field “interpret the facts” and establish the “version of truth,” a.k.a., dogma, upon which the official story will be disseminated through appropriate channels and authorities. The dogma is constantly revised, BUT its revisions, like its construction, are loosely but not purely based on factual discovery. They are heavily edited and revisions are in…

   And I think this gets back to this question of majority and minority opinion beliefs or schools of thought in science. Now, where this institutional authority comes from is from the relationship between a majority group of scientist and government. Uh Yeah, there was a philosopher of science whose work I like very much, Paul Feyerabend. Mm. I love Paul Feyerabend. He he once said, just like there's separation between church and state, there should be separation between science and state. Everybody should read Feyerabend's Against Method. Like if anybody's listening to this and you haven't page…

   Uh Dr. Becker sent that result to uh uh power companies and the government uh and the power companies the government ignored us and the power companies said go to hell. You don't know what you're talking about. Wow. Wow. There was no way to talk to me. Uh and my life went off in that direction for the next 50 years. Uh fueled in that direction. Dr. Becker got terminated uh at the end of the 70s uh by the National Academy of Sciences and its role uh in interfering with VA research.

   [ 4 ] Though at one time this feature of Austin’s theory had some surface plausibility when applied to the British system of government, where Parliament was often said to be supreme and constitutionally unlimited, [ 5 ] it faces obvious difficulty when applied to most other constitutional democracies such as one finds in the United States, Canada, Mexico and Germany, where it is abundantly clear that the powers of government are legally limited by a constitution. Austin’s answer to this apparent weakness in his theory was to appeal to popular sovereignty , the idea that sovereign power ultima…

   What's happened is the basic science  has shown me a bunch of conceptual things that   have allowed me to do the technology development.  The technology development has provided me with   tools that allow me to do the basic science.  It's turned out that the way of thinking about   things that's relevant in doing the technology  is surprisingly similar to the way of thinking   about things that's relevant for basic science. I think to me it's, in the end most of these   things are about foundational thinking about  thin…

   If one looks at the substance rather than at the form, then one can take these words as expressing also the fundamental democratic position. The true democrat can worship his nation as little as can the man who is religious, in our sense of the term. What, then, in all this, is the function of education and of the school? They should help the young person to grow up in such a spirit that these fundamental principles should be to him as the air which he breathes. Teaching alone cannot do that. If one holds these high principles clearly before one's eyes, and compares them with the life and spir…

   From the process that you learned when you did the KB cycle when you were a freshman in medical school. That's where it gets the energy from. Chemical energy. Chemical energy is the it drives the system. does not control the system. That's what Becker asked about. Two separate things, right? That is um I I appreciate the perspective, but I I I guess I have a slightly different understanding of that. And in part it's informed by other cultural systems or um so when we like in Chinese medicine, if we start talking aboutqi or prana, right? when I as a martial artist could see different things don…

   I mean, what I find so fascinating about Arendt is you start You can start with any of these concepts, and you can begin to see how they get integrated and woven into a very thick description of what politics she thinks once was and might still yet be. This is what she says about power. I mean, Arendt certainly understood the traditional conception of power. After all, she wrote the book on totalitarianism. But she wants to pose to that another concept of power. Power is empowerment. Power comes into being only if and when human beings join themselves together for the purposes of action. And i…

    For one type of example, one could point out that if there was a sufficiently large and persistent majority among the United States electorate, nothing could contain them: they could elect Presidents and legislators who would amend the Constitution and, through those same officials, appoint judges who would interpret the (revised or original) Constitution in a way amenable to their interests. A different sort of example (and some would say that there are recent real-life examples of this type) would be a President who ignored the constraints of statutory law, constitutional law, and internatio…
