Evolutionary advantages of being board with Science

Post Reply New Topic

A) Why do NTs get boad of science.

B) Being able to win a war is a survival trait. Propaganda wins wars. The first victim of war is the truth. It was true of the Great War, WWII, and the Iraq any war. If propaganda doesn’t work on your people, you will shortly lose the war and be wiped out.

After thousand of years of evolution, being susceptible propaganda( lies) is a survival trait. No wonder why there are so many religions. Religion is an on going propaganda. Science is the closes thing to the truth, but most people get boarded with science.

Yo suckers watch the "The Enemies of Reason" today C4, 8pm
"Professor Richard Dawkins doesn't like horoscopes." find out why

Ok...

War and death are neccessary evils, but there are no advantages in being ignorant of Science, much rather disadvantages.

In that doesn’t explain why the majority of NT don’t care about science. This is to common to be an anomaly. Is mother nature stupid.

It is easy to understand when you think about it. Do you think Nazi Germany would have went to war if all of its citizen had all the facts available to them. If they had science oriented thinking ,like most aspies do, could you see them willing to get themselves killed. It would be impossible to get them to think in a narrow minded, one-sided kind of way to start a war.

i think ppl just cant think through it for themselves....

it's a wee more complex than it used to be.

im about to become a brain surgeon (well, on mice/rats) and that thought scares me, lol

But some people can , aspies like me.

Maybe the question should be, why are aspies not in the majority. Simple, aspies would not populate the planet because they didn’t killing, pillaging and start war.

Science can dispel ignorance. An ignorant population is needed for propaganda to be effective. People don't like science because it is too much thinking, it is much easier to follow what leaders and propaganda or religion tell them. It is human nature to follow the leaders and be a part of the "tribe". It is a burden for most people to think for themselves and behave as individuals, hence liking science, it would go against their nature.

(Im not saying that anybody that doesn't like science is not an individual, a lot of people just plain are not interested in science, people have a right not to like science)

However aspies are more individualistic than NT's. They are not driven as much by hierarchy and ritualism, the group mentality.

It's interesting to note that when dictators get into power, they either kill off the more intelligent people or "neutralise" them by putting them into jail. They don't want people who will think for themselves and they will only let doctors, scientists and other professionals continue if they are completely under the thumb of the dictator.

Yes, the same way that Stalin purged intellectuals, and so did Mao Tse Tung.

Science is the next religion and it will become propoganda... There are too many reasons for anything and Science just creates conflicting systems and whatever seems to work with the objective world. It's not truth.

THe scientific study of the human spirit will destroy the imagination and creativity.

Science can never be a new religion.

A religion is a lie that evolves other thousands of years. Thousands of years of war have selected the fittest religion. If a religion had even the smallest weakness it would lose the edge and die. Even today there are hundreds of religions all competing with each other.

Science is different. A specific science generally doesn’t have hundreds of different interpretation to ensure its survival. There is a difference between the truth and evolving lies like religion.

Take Theory Of Evolution. To my knowledge there is only one interpretation And if there isn’t, it is still possible that it will survive and progress as more is discovered over time. If every knowledge and book of evolution got destroyed, it would only pop up again when it is rediscovered by someone else. Do you think the same would be possible with Christianity?

If Christianity for example had only one interpretation and evolve onto many different verities to maintain its survive like Catholic, Protestant, Pentecostal or quakers it would not be able to cope with changes or compete against other religions like Islam. Christianity is already changing. Pentacostal charges are become more popular because of their love of capitalism and music and get up and go while the catholic church is slowly dying .

I do believe that science can become propaganda. I think it is happening on a huge scale right now. Like global warming for instance, global warming being caused by human emissions? I'm not so sure I believe that. There are many other theories about why the earth is warming that are believable that has hardly anything to do with our emissions. This global warming propaganda is being used to kick start a new economic system, 'carbon credits'.


Also can you elaborate please on why the scientific study of the human spirit will destroy the imagination and creativity? I think I know what you mean by that, but I'm not sure.

Me ,the wisest and logically minded aspie, cannot analyze global worming because I cannot trust the data I receive. I am simply not expert in the field and even if I was the data collected wouldn’t be accurate.

If I do decide to take on an opinion, it would be purely faith driven and not driven by logical deduction.
