Real science is dead.
Researchers are no longer trying to seek and speak the truth. Scientists
no longer believe in the truth. They no longer believe that there is an
eternal unchanging reality beyond our human organisation which they have
a duty to discover and disseminate. Hence, the vast structures of
personnel and resources that constitute modern science are not real
science but merely a professional research bureaucracy.
The consequences? Research literature must be assumed to be worthless or
misleading and should almost always be ignored.
In practice, this means that nearly all science needs to be demolished
(or allowed to collapse) and real science rebuilt outside the
professional research structure, from the ground up, by real scientists
who regard truth-seeking as an imperative and truthfulness as an iron
law.
