Tao does not fight, triumphs.
Tao Te Ching
Have any of you seen a firefly lately? No, sure not. The fireflies have been exterminated.
Do you remember that until a few years ago someone who was traveling by car along the route arrived at their destination with a windshield full of insects that had crashed during the journey? That also disappeared. You arrive with a clean windshield as if you just took the car out of the car wash. The bugs are being eliminated from the Earth. Among them, are the bees. BTW, do you have any idea how important bees are in human civilization?
What happened? Did a dark demon come to remove those pesky beings from our superior human lives? Right. You got it. That demon is an industry that produces pesticides and poisons of all kinds to increase shareholder profitability. And it doesn't just kill other plants and insects. It kills us all as well. Every lettuce leaf you buy in a supermarket has enough glyphosate to make your belly ache. But fear not, the same industry, with other subsidiaries, sells you remedies to cure belly pain so you can "be yourself." Of course, don't believe what I'm saying. The industry in question creates entities that rule that glyphosate is not carcinogenic and that it does not kill bees. It only kills herbs. Someone should explain to them that when one node of a system is altered, the entire system is altered. But it would be useless because their only aim is the profitability of the shareholders.

If on top of that, you eat that lettuce leaf accompanied by a soda in a plastic bottle, be sure that you are killing a turtle that is about to be born. But don't believe what I tell you, the plastic industry will tell you that this is an exaggeration by environmentalists, that plastic is now recycled, and that it is a great discovery of humanity to package and make all kinds of synthetic artifacts. Long live plastic! After all, what does it matter if a couple of dirty turtles die? The important thing is to increase the profitability of the shareholders.

Not to mention the "science" applied to produce weapons on a scale to annihilate countries and people with the sole objective of appropriating their resources in the name of democracy and the well-being of the population, and in this way, preserve or increase power to continue manipulating the planet.

I always have a question about the way in which this thing called "science" was considered, having in fact an enormous latent danger on the part of those who manage the media of manipulating data, experiments, irrefutable conclusions, and issues such as those, and on top of that, considering all that as “science”, the supreme and indisputable thing for “scientists”.
Science asks us to doubt everything except itself. That is, science assumes the role of a god in which it does not believe.
I am going to give you my anarchist point of view regarding science.
As a great contemporary Spanish anarchist, Tomás Ibáñez, says, “Science lost its innocence in Hiroshima”.
Tomás is not only a very talented theoretician, but he also had active participation in the events of May 1968 in Paris, which we all remember as a romantic advance on postwar outrages.
Hiroshima had as a consequence that a large part of the world's population took out the blank check that they had given to science. The progress of scientific knowledge no longer guaranteed a better future, quite the contrary.
From that moment on, science became an instrument of power, an extraordinary device of power.
One of the great merits of science is that it never takes anything for granted, and mostly uses critical thinking to permanently criticize its results. However, there is something that science is reluctant to do as if it did not try to take that risk. Science refuses to direct its questions toward itself and towards its fundamental principles.
It tells us that we must doubt everything, even the most obvious, except scientific reason itself. Scientists accept that space-time coordinates can vary, but what cannot vary is the scientific reason, thus denying that science can also vary as the space-time framework in which the study is being carried out.
But are scientists really responsible for this contradiction? Or are there external elements that manage these scientists, relegating themselves to mere data "falsifiers" in such a way that this external element increases their profitability?
And to finish muddling it, scientists maintain with a maximalist passion that the criteria by which scientific reason is defined do not depend on historical time and are universal and immutable.
You, who is an enlightened man or woman, realize that an affirmation of this type in the 21st century is tainted with nullity and that it is almost close to religious omnipotence. It's like scientific thought made its cycle and returns to God, after having denied it for centuries.
If the Enlightenment meant the creation of an artifact of power and domination, then at least I am not interested in the Enlightenment.
I believe that today knowledge is subordinated to power, since power has the ability to decide where scientific research should go to serve its convenience, and also appropriates its results to use them for its own benefit.
For almost the entire world population, scientific reason has become the modern foundation of "truth" over the last few years, especially through television and "scientific" advertising from pharma laboratories. There can be no doubt that those who sell remedies and disinfectants so that your children grow up healthy, do so with the best intentions and based on "truth", that is, on scientific research.

Why don't you take a moment to think about what "the truth" is? Use critical thinking. Forget about the remedies for a while and the invasive cures that the medical corporation promotes as “scientific research”.
Also, remember that the greatest atrocities in history have been committed in the name of "the truth."
The “true” religion launched The Crusades to kill criminals who had another religion, created the Inquisition and its tortures, and crushed heretics.
The cult of reason and truth ruled the era of terror that followed the French Revolution.
In Russia, the truth is Pravda, and it was what justified the Bolshevik terror.
The Nazis, with supposedly scientific truths, crushed the Jews and the communists.
We can say that the worst dangers do not come so much from those who oppose the truth, as from the "believers" of the truth, be it a religion, a science, or an interpretation of history.
We as businessmen and women cannot restrict our decisions to scientific reason, because that does not correspond to the discourse of critical thinking.
In this latest pandemic, which unfortunately we know will not be the last, we have received supposedly scientific instruction through the mass media, which constituted "the truth" for large sectors of the population, conditioned their habits, taught new ways of consumption and dealing with their peers, their SMEs went bankrupt (the corporations, of course, received the corresponding help from the governments they control) and nobody, absolutely nobody, not even the television prophets of truth could be sure of the recommendations given to them by the supposed scientists who invited to their programs.
Is this the scientific reason that we defend?
Is this the scientific reason that designs the technologies we consume?
How much does the "person" who is going to produce the scientific report have to do with the whole process?
The claim that science is a process "without a person" is a pure fallacy. It always depends ultimately on one or more persons.
There is no algorithm or formal procedural rule that allows extracting theoretical statements from a data set, and therefore the formulation of the theoretical statement is, in part, a creation by the persons involved in the investigation. And when they tell me that the AI generates those algorithms, the answer is very easy, the AI is generated and regenerated by subjects who design the regeneration algorithms. There is always someone behind who can be influenced to obtain certain results that generally serve to increase the profits of the shareholders of medical laboratories, food corporations, or energy corporations.
Did you believe the bacillus discovered by "science" that now has the new yogurt that they sell in plastic containers and that will make you shit more easily so that you "really feel like yourself"?
But we go a little further. Scientific reason teaches us that the ultimate truth is that of the facts. When something is confirmed with "the facts of reality" then we can be calm that we have found "the truth". This friends, I'm afraid is another fallacy, probably a bigger one than the previous ones. What facts are we referring to?
It looks like a staging of a ventriloquist and his/her doll. What the doll says is not actually said by the doll, but by the one who handles it. The irrefutable facts of the dummy are the irrefutable facts of the ventriloquist.
How can you access something completely independently of the way you access it? Remember Schröedinger cat.
Yes, obviously, there is a way, and it is to put yourself in God's point of view. That is, science tells us that it is God. And this friends, we all know that is a true infamy.
Can we grant credibility to the conception of science that makes it an instrument of divine power?
Can we compare our knowledge of the world, in a world defined independently of my knowledge of the world? Marketing says it in other words: we do not see products as THEY are, but as WE are.
That is, how can I compare a description of the world with an undescribed world?
Of course, the answer is obvious: I can compare different versions of the world and choose the one that seems most convincing, most useful, and the one that brings the most profit to the shareholders of the company that paid for the experiments, and this, ladies and gentlemen, is the answer, the irrefutable truth.
However, we critical thinkers know that we cannot compare the world with a certain version of it, because we cannot know what the world is like independently of any version.
Reality has the characteristics it has because we are the way we are, and if we were different, reality would be different.
The science that claims to know “the Truth” can cover up the development of mechanisms of power. And according to that, build the technological infrastructure that we all enjoy.
Do we enjoy it?
Well, that is for each one to decide.
Installing this theme in your head is a way to start building practices of freedom.
For me, it's more than enough reason to oppose science. Rather, against the claims of scientific reason, and the fallacies it resorts to, to make us believe that we have no choice but to submit to its empire.
Let your kids have contact with bacteria. If you buy disinfectant as ordered by the television, you increase the profits of the shareholders of the pharmaceutical laboratory, and your children do not develop the immune system that nature provided spontaneously in their DNA.
Conclusion
I live in a small village of 1,500 inhabitants on the Atlantic coast of the province of Buenos Aires, Argentina, with my wife and our two dogs. I'm 66, but I'm not a regular boomer. My generation openly rejects the crypto ecosystem, and instead, I have made it the center of my economic, social, and professional life. I got to know bitcoin in 2011 and I never parted with it again. Blockchain technology and its philosophy of open source, without permission, without censorship, without hierarchies, fits my lifestyle so much, that I think I received this gift from heaven for having been a very good person for so many years. I understand that the large power consumption used to secure the network (which is far less than what is used by today's outdated banking machinery, including the blind elephants of central banks) is a much more honest and reliable exchange of value than that of some feudal lords saying how much fiat money people receive in exchange for their work. Bitcoin aroused the consciousness of the masses. No one had ever talked about these issues before. Inflation is today an everyday issue, and the scoundrels who perpetrate it are being unmasked.
Here we only consume products made on neighboring organic farms. We have a very healthy diet based on organic meats, fruits, dairy products, and vegetables. Supermarkets do not exist here nor will they ever exist. Here life is handmade. We don't use cars and gasoline. We ride bicycles and most of the energy is generated by solar panels. We go to bed listening to the stormy Atlantic Ocean, and we wake up listening to birds, foxes, and hares running freely. The only "science" we consume is the internet and some devices to hang on it. Hardly anyone watches TV and the local radio only tells local stories. We live an intense social life in which everyone shares their arts with groups, be it music, theater, weaving, cooking, farming, painting, or history. Doctors know us all, one by one, and do not prescribe laboratory pills. We have built a reputation as a small village, and they respect us a lot. At the beginning of this year, we stopped the construction of a 5-star hotel promoted by a large hotel corporation and which involves the felling of a hundred trees. We have filed an appeal with the city government and the work is stopped, and we are not going to let it be done. The hotel corporation had presented a document stating that there was no environmental impact with the felling of the tres (¿¡) and that there were no problems either with the aquifer that provides water to all of us or with the sewage that the supposed hotel will generate. The councilors and members of the government were bribed to approve this lie, and the work was authorized by the government. But now it's stopped. It seems that a few can do something to stop the abuses of the elites who only seek the profitability of the shareholders.
In the same way, the "science" that is sold to us as beneficial will soon be unmasked, following the same path of decentralization. When the science is done by real scientists and the data is recorded on a blockchain that does not aim to increase shareholder returns, we may probably have discovered in what vile way we are being deceived by financial elites.
The real scientists, the ones who work for the love of science and not for a private company that pays them to find out what they tell them, will register their data on a blockchain with PoW, and the data will be available to all of humanity. No data may be altered to lie, and politicians may not receive bribes on this side. An open, permissionless, and uncensored blockchain would allow scientific facts to be shown as they are, and not as politicians or corporate shareholders intend them to be.
I imagine the work of true scientists who do not receive money from anyone and who work for the love of curiosity and discovering the labyrinths of nature (remember a Croatian named Nicola Tesla?), uploading their works as NFTs to the most secure network on the planet, the Bitcoin network, as some rogues do today by uploading little monkeys like Ordinals. Once uploaded to the network, scientific knowledge will remain recorded forever, available to everyone, without permission and without censorship, and no one will be able to direct it for their own benefit. (Since the discovery of the human genome, a large number of corporations are still trying to patent human genetics in their favor. It's like patenting gold. Can someone patent gold? Well, it would seem that someone could patent what belongs to the entire human species).
Gustav Landauer wrote that “anarchism is not a thing of the future but of the present, not a question of demands but of life”.
It is not about waiting for future generations to create the conditions for anarchy to allow an egalitarian society, but about living in anarchy today. I am not particularly interested in raising any relationship with the enemy, not even one of conflict. Every day I try to get a little out of the system and its "science" used as a tool of domination, deceiving thousands of beings who believe that what is said on television or by the mass media, in general, is true and is "scientific." They forced the world population to wear chinstraps for 2 years and to get vaccinated with a vaccine without testing! And they call that "science."
Science is undoubtedly thought with a commercial mentality. I'm not interested. I prefer not to consume that science.
If you want, you can start getting out of this filthy network that poisons you every day. You can start today, here is a small list for you to read every morning:
1- Today I will not buy any plastic bottles
2- Today I will not watch TV
3- Today I will not buy synthetic broths
4- Today I will look for sellers of organic products
5- Today I will look for meat producers who assure me that they avoid animal cruelty
6- Today I will not consume any medicine
7- Today I will be much more in contact with nature than yesterday
8- Today I will not buy anything in a supermarket
9- Today I will make one more effort to get out of the current banking system
10- Today I will study in depth the proposal for a new revolutionary payment system based on cryptography and not on the seigniorage of the feudal lords who hold power
11- Today I will talk about these issues with my family and friends
There we go future.
Thank you for reading! Decentralize yourselves as much as you can, and much more! Work for yourselves, not for others. When you work for someone else, they pay you what YOUR POSITION is worth, when you work for yourself, they pay you what YOU are worth. No one achieves financial independence by working as an employee. Live long and prosper!
