“We have seen that scientific technique increases the importance of organizations, and therefore the extent to which authority impinges upon the life of the individual. It follows that a scientific oligarchy has more power than any oligarchy could have in pre-scientific times. There is a tendency, which is inevitable unless consciously combated, for organizations to coalesce, and so to increase in size, until, ultimately, almost all become merged in the State. A scientific oligarchy, accordingly, is bound to become what is called ‘totalitarian’, that is to say, all important forms of power will become a monopoly of the State. This monolithic system has sufficient merits to be attractive to many people, but to my mind its demerits are far greater than its merits.” ~ Bertrand Russell, The Impact of Science on Society. p84. https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.351235/page/n83/mode/2up
Wikitree: Bertrand Arthur William Russell, 3rd Earl Russell, OM, FRS[66] (18 May 1872 – 2 February 1970) was a British mathematician, philosopher, logician, and public intellectual. He had a considerable influence on mathematics, logic, set theory, linguistics, artificial intelligence, cognitive science, computer science and various areas of analytic philosophy, especially philosophy of mathematics, philosophy of language, epistemology, and metaphysics.[67][68]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bertrand_Russell
In other words, caveat emptor.
“Caveat emptor is a common law doctrine that places the burden on buyers to reasonably examine property before making a purchase. A buyer who fails to meet this burden is unable to recover for defects in the product that would have been discovered had this burden been met. The phrase “caveat emptor” is Latin for “let the buyer beware.”
“Caveat emptor principles are generally still followed today; however, they are subject to exceptions. Under the doctrine of concealment, for example, a seller who withholds material information when they have a duty to disclose is not protected by caveat emptor.” https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/caveat_emptor
So called experts in climatology, “Net Zero” and corona virus and vaccines come to mind.
“Pfizer-BioNTech is really a 3-party R&D alliance: Fosun-Pfizer-BioNTech, and by “party” I mean that one of the three is the Chinese Communist Party. Fosun is a huge Chinese conglomerate that owns a large number of global companies, and its chairman Guo Guangchang is a very high ranking member of the CCP. It is curious that the US DoD awarded $10 billion (Pfizer’s Operation Warp Speed/DoD/BARDA contract) to a venture whose substantial equity (and IP) holder is the Chinese Communist Party. For avoidance of doubt:”
The problem of excess government, non-stop government spending, non-stop wars, unending government debt, more and more invasive government restrictions on your individual rights, etc. cannot be fixed by raising taxes on rich people. Pocahontas Warren, Joe Biden et al are liars.
Taxes and never ending growth of parasitic governments are the true lesson of the “Tragedy of the Commons”. No one will take care of the commons, the pasture that is used in common by the community. The pasture will always be overgrazed until destroyed. No individual owns it, has responsibility for it, takes care of it as if it were their own. For example, this is how billions of dollars and weapons disappear from defense departments, environmental agencies, health agencies, intelligence agencies. Hillary Clinton infamously claimed ‘it takes a village’ to raise a child, a blatant communist edict which guarantees a tragic outcome, a child and adult who will become a victim and burden on the village. Community organizers like Saul Alinsky and his best student Barack Obama and their equivalents in other countries will strip the skin off your bones, off your children and your grand children and the promote the tragedy they created as an example of racism, government abuse, and their political opponents. For example, the Obama administration built chain-link cages to house illegal immigrants at the U.S. border and then pushed executive orders and policies he knew where illegal to overfill those cages, and still today they blame that on their political opponents.
All the way back in the 1600s, the settlers in Boston Massachusetts Colony learned this lesson of the “Tragedy of the Commons.” The common pasture becomes abused and worthless. Trusting the commonly shared resource (e.g., pasture, government budgets, defense, food reserves, currencies, education, healthcare, etc) to the community failed every time. THIS tragic lesson of the commons learned by strict, moral and religious adherents to discipline is how free trade, individual sovereignty and what became known over 100 years later as capitalism became standard practice, common law and Constitution in the United States in 1776. What is today called “woke,” progressive, social justice, environmental justice, etc. is in fact regressive bend-the-knee, kiss-the-ring servitude to bigger and bigger, more expensive out-of-control government (previously known as communism) where everyone is subservient to the common good, dependent on the shared pasture which everyone uses in common but no one owns or cares for.
Here’s the trailer video for the original movie of George Orwell’s visionary book by that title. If you have not read or re-read that book and watched the full length movie, now is a good time…before it disappears.
