Deconstructing The Myth Of Science - Part 2
By Leo Gura - November 2, 2020 | 7 Comments
A 4-part series exploring the metaphysical and epistemic limitations of science.
Michael says: Initially I was not too excited about diving into this subject because of its boring title combined with the length of video. Just look at the title and tell me how this is supposed to attract viewers. But man.. This video series does not disappoint. Your analogies are so helpful in getting me to think for myself and allowing for that light bulb to come on when I really get it. I like the way you get me to think and decide for myself. Can’t wait now to watch the remainder of this series.
Max Gron says: Yes but you need to watch his video of the social matrix in order to complete the picture of thinking for yourself, just don’t question too much the people serving you or paying your wages or you will be kicked out the system and you won’t find a way to live or maintain yourself or survive. The only reason, real reason, outside of Leo’s reason, that you eat food isn’t because the food is good or tastes good, nor is it because it’s the best, you only eat anything: lollies, meat, vegetarian food, maybe you’re a liquitarian, or waterian, whatever, anything, to help you to live longer, that’s the only reason you eat, remember that.
Joel says: To sum up: Science is not an exact science.
I HAVE A CERTAIN RULES I LIVE BY
I DON’T BELIEVE ANYTHING THE GOVERNMENT TELLS ME.

IF PEOPLE LET GOVERNMENT DECIDE
WHICH FOODS THEY EAT
AND MEDICINE THEY TAKE
THEIR BODIES WILL SOON BE IN AS SORRY A STATE
AS ARE THE SOULS OF THOSE WHO LIVE UNDER TYRANNY

Max Gron says: My rules to live by are: 1. be reasonably clean and be healthy,
2. gentlemanliness,
3. self-reliance,
4. don’t do work or take meds on the weekend,
5. have peace and tranquility,
6. greed (not over- or undereating),
7. care solely, all and only all for myself and solely, all, and only for my wellbeing and not others’ wellbeing, advantage, interest, pleasure etc, with self-interest, bloody-minded, and having no bonds with others,
8. be by myself and hate spending time with other people,
9. take responsibility,
10. be honest (sincere and frank) and,
11. beware of the consequences,
and if I’m high class:
12. be classy, pompous, fancy and refined,
13. refinement,
14. prestige,
15. drop rule 5 and enjoy classy peace of mind,
16. go to the theatre (not the cinema) or the opera,
17. be an ultragourmand,
18. drop rule 1 and be clean in a refined way and be healthy.
Those are all my rules of life, I now only have 5 beliefs, based on mostly philosophy: antitheism, anti-Australianism, reliabilism, post-modernism, and pessimism. I’m not sure if these beliefs or the number of them is going to be revised but since I was an antitheist I stopped revising my beliefs, these are what are reliably produced, what are probably true and all that’s probably true, everything else is the assumptions of history. I don’t believe my parents are actually my parents, nor my brothers actually my brothers, nor that anything is atoms, or religion, or external rules, or doing anything I want selectively unless it’s what I eat, drink, wear and tomorrow. If you look closely, you’ll find out that I’m selective in healthy food (not eating most of the junk food), pollo-pescetarian food, fruits and berries and berries, so I have 4 diets: pollo-pescetarianism, healthy food, berries, berries and fruits.
I don’t need to be a scientist for the science of belief I have, my science of belief is the above, reliabilism, I only need to act like everything I wrote here for my survival and the truth, not the absolute truth, just the truth, truth as it was originally, not these improvements of the truth, just truth for the modern man. I mostly believe in modern philosophy, this is a specific group of philosophies I believe in, it’s wise, it’s common wisdom, and it’s sage, so I’ll stick to it (I don’t know, I mightn’t have any convictions since they change).
Joel says: Congratulations on going through life as an idiot.
Max Gron says: Since what’s traditionally called science is scary, and since people in history are always changing the truth, I don’t wanna believe these sciences and new things, I want the truth, not changing the truth, the only things people die for is a lie, a modification of the truth, I don’t believe in modifications of the truth, mind-fucks, I believe only in the truth. Being a crackpot isn’t the truth, I’m out! Once you’re weird you lead to untruths, lies, prejudices, and self-sacrifice, that’s terrible, weirdness is fucking scary. Only normalcy is the truth, and no telling lies isn’t normal. Religion might be true to my housemate but to me it’s bullshit. Leo’s telling the truth, but I can’t accept it by holding beliefs about him, I would have to do the work and test it myself and derive lack of belief, based on his systematic method, because belief is history’s whole game, I would have to look up the social matrix to agree that society’s authority isn’t the truth. All truth is relative, based on history’s sciences of the world, not the changes of science but the new sciences. I always only believed in science the way it was and not changing of science, I like doing things as they were originally, but not of traditions as such, I like acting like the modern man, and tracing back my history, I’m not a traditionalist anymore, I’m a post-modernist, I only care about modern history, not ancient wisdom!
