The Mechanics of the Rise of Scientism
The dissolution of one God with the formation of another, and how we ourselves create it.
I’m very glad I was able to finally release my story and the revelation about the advent of the solar plexus evolutionary mutation. As I wrote, not doing so would have made me feel constrained in being able to provide a linking factor to myriad of phenomena unraveling in front of our eyes.
As I mentioned in the essay, there are many many pathways to how the transformation extrapolates. And so now that I have released the preliminary base point, I can move forward and touch on each of these phenomenon independently and show how it is linked to the transformation in our biology; our terrain.
In this post I want to talk about the rise of Scientism: the belief that science is the most reliable method for acquiring knowledge and therefore scientists have the right to dictate society’s values and policies (note the word belief)
In his 1943 essay The Abolition of Man, C.S. Lewis, who was a scholar of medieval and Renaissance literature, argued that modern thinking and education has been gradually changed our understanding of what it means to be human and the nature of human thought, having far-reaching consequences for society.
Lewis opposed "scientism". He pointed out that this approach erases objective values in favor of cold utilitarianism, causing society to lose its traditional values like courage, honesty, and self-sacrifice.
He warned of a world where scientists and experts would dictate our future and determine our values, while we give up our personal and social freedoms. Historical examples like medical experiments without consent and utilitarian policies strengthen his argument. He called for the preservation of traditional values and liberty in the advanced scientific age we live in.
Indeed, C.S. Lewis was right.
Science is becoming a kind of God, at the expense of God. In fact, the loss of control over life represents the loss of the "spine" in humanity. We are becoming far more unstable, ungrounded, and fragmented.
What Lewis didn’t know, however, is that the loss of morality is a concrete phenomenon that has been slowly brewing over the past two hundred years. But before I continue and explain why he was right, it is important to establish a foundation. First, we must understand what morality is and its role, objectively. All of our knowledge today is based on subjective information. But in my view, if we want to gain some added value and see things as they truly are, it's essential to start providing objective explanations.
So from an objective standpoint, morality is a genetic imperative—an "insurance policy" for a relatively new awareness that emerged some 90,000 years ago. The dropping of the larynx and the expansion of the neocortex brought about the emergence of a new awareness, a self reflected consciousness, known as the human mind. This process has been mythologically portrayed in the biblical story as the eating of the forbidden fruit from the Tree of Knowledge.
In other words, the emergence of relativity, such as good and evil, this and that, is the result of this evolutionary process that birthed a new species—a sophisticated biological vessel capable of housing a new awareness. If we want to understand the consciousness evolutionary process, it’s a kind of "experiment” how consciousness expresses itself through a biological form that houses it. As the vessel evolves, the consciousness has more sophisticated means to express its potential.
Now, with every new consciousness, there are residual "unwanted" effects that arise as a result of the mechanism. For us, and for what made us who we are - the mind - these manifest in several ways. The first is that, once the world is divided into shifting relativities, based on the observer and the observed phenomenon, we risk drawing incorrect conclusions, which can lead to actions with unintended consequences further down the line.
It’s like 20,000 years ago, we couldn’t understand the connection between a hurricane that destroyed our huts and the fact that we slaughtered 100,000 bison in a single year. We didn’t know that having intercourse with my sister is a genetic dead-end. We didn’t even know what 'genes' were.
The second aspect is that the nature of awareness is built on fear. We have an unhealthy relationship with fear, but in essence, fear is neither good nor bad. Without fear, there is no potential for the continued development of intelligence. Fear is a kind of "switch" upon which intelligence is honed. In the mind, fear manifests as anxiety and worry that drive us to ask questions, that arise from observing and experiencing life, and to connect these questions with answers.
Why does the rain fall and not rise? Will it rain tomorrow too? Why not? Why yes? Will the tiger come to attack me? Why?
But providing an answer is not enough. In fact, even when we find answer to our own questions, we don’t always feel secure. After all, what’s the main characteristic of the mind? Is that it’s an answer "machine gun”. Quora is a good example of this. For every question, there are dozens of answers. But that doesn’t mean they reflect reality.
So, to find some relief, we are driven to keep examining and sorting which of the answers is the most concrete. That is, which answer represents a consistent pattern. If everything around us is built on patterns, and those patterns move in cycles, it means that behind every phenomenon there is a consistent pattern. The more we can identify the consistent pattern, the more we put fear in its place. That’s the goal. The "prize" is the sense of security that the future is certain. By the way, this is the mechanism behind what we call "science." Science is simply a collection of answers that explain the consistent patterns in various areas of life.
Today, I don’t need to fear a tiger attacking me when I leave my home, along with about 99% of the human population. The fear is still concrete and valid, but we long ago put it in its place when we understood under what patterns, as conditions and circumstances, it attacks and when it does not. We left that fear behind and moved forward when we discovered fire and began using it, and later, when we developed sophisticated weapons and safe structures to protect us. This is exactly the mechanism that drives the continual development of intelligence: the ability to put those fears in their place and move on to the next ones.
It is the process reflected in the myth of the expulsion from the Garden of Eden. The goal was this drive and curiosity within us to go out into the world, not just to exist in it, but to explore and study it and gather information. All, until we reach a point where we conquer it because we now know how everything works.
And we are built to do this by moving the wheel of life forward. Each new offspring represents a cognitive improvement from the previous generation, which in totality, continues to propel the ongoing collection of details, the search for answers, and organizing them as collective memory.
That’s the game. That’s the premise behind mental awareness. This is the human process, objectively.
We are machine learning neurons
The mechanism reflects what we now do with machine learning, but on a larger scale. Each one of us is just one of billions of individual electrons on a capacitor, collectively driving the process of building a “machine learning” consciousness. Each of us is like a single neuron connected through dendrites and axons to other neurons, collectively propelling the process of building the collective mind.
But there is a problem. What happens until we reach that point where we feel secure and have conquered everything? We need to create a balancing factor for all these fears. Anxiety isn’t pleasant. It can paralyze the entire body and distort the mind, thereby stopping this whole "machine learning" process.
So, to neutralize this side effect, we were given "training wheels" to balance the fear. Until we reach a point where we’ve gathered and acquired a vast bank of information, we don’t need them anymore. Think about it for a moment: if 10,000 years ago you had something like 75 words in your vocabulary to describe the world, and you were walking around in your environment, your very existence and observation would raise many questions for which you have no answers. You begin to realize how limited you are. You start to feel anxious.
To balance this residual effect, there was something inside of us that said: "It's okay, it's because of God," or "God will take care of it." And this is not just a philosophical idea but something stronger; a chemical secretion inside us that balances our mental anxiety.
That “something” stronger was the advent of our emotions.
God is not a rational concept. He is tied to belief. And belief has always been, and always will be, stronger than logic because it is connected to our emotional abstract side. Allegorically, this process is expressed in the biblical story as the creation of Eve. 'Eve' represents the emotional element that was created in us ('Eve' was created from Adam's rib. the rib location is an allegory to the location of our emotions, pointing to the position of the solar plexus in the human body). The emotional infrastructure had allowed the possibility to connect with the spirit of things. It made us social creatures.
But here too, a side effect arises. By virtue of being a social species destined to form and stay in them forever, emotional conflicts arise: desires and cravings that threaten the group’s cohesion. Once people are gathered in a group, each member wants something different and then emotional frictions arise. And so some kind of a balancing factor is needed.
So, in fact, morality and God represent three very important things in human development:
Protection from going astray: To mitigate the unintended consequences of the mind's measurements.
Tempering fears: To protect us from overbearing anxiety, until we have enough concrete answers to put those fears in their place.
Mediating emotional conflicts (resulting from group cohesion). These were emotional principles which over time became tribal laws, eventually evolving to what we have come to call ‘religion’.
The "insurance policy" brought us the ability to subconsciously create a collective resonance field (egregore) which manifested itself as an authority figure in the form of a godhead, which were later extended to kings and priests, as authority figures.
These were not just words and ideas, but emotional fears rooted in our biology such as: fear of consequences, fear of fate and fear of authority. Through these emotional fears, delimiting boundaries were created so that we would not be misled, in the sense that the mind and its endless measurements, together with the anxieties for questions that still have no answers, and the emotional conflicts, would have diverted us.
Moreover, it solidified in us a sense of interconnectedness. That even when we didn’t know how things functioned, we gained a sense of reverence to the interdependence of things around us. The evolutionary program is wise. For every thing it gives with one hand, it takes something else away with the other. Everything is balancing act.
In summary
The "insurance policy" served as a balancing factor.
If there is no order and group organization, and if you don’t curb the mind’s fantasies ("Let’s see what happens if we clone a human inside a sheep’s womb"), you end up with unintended consequences that could lead to destruction and ruin. The key is self preservation. That’s what’s important because it supports the ability to continue "playing the game", fulfilling our purpose as a species.
All, until we could reach a point where the new awareness we were endowed with could be developed to its full potential. Until eventually we could reach a place where we know and understand why "sleeping with my sister is a genetic dead end" and why the widespread slaughter of cattle affects the entire life cycle, and so on.
To reach a place where we not only understand the fruit (of the Tree of Knowledge) but the entire tree and its roots.
The other side: The rise of a new God
We are now on the other side of the fence. We don’t realize that we are nearing the end of a process that began around 90,000 years ago, and significantly intensifying about 6,000 years ago.
We don’t know that we are at the beginning of an end.
If I mentioned earlier that this entire "experiment" of consciousness in form—where each new vessel represents the possibility of allowing consciousness to express a broader potential—has led us to the fulfillment of the purpose of self-reflected consciousness being expressed through the human vessel, we can deduce that we ourselves are being brought to a "shutdown."
Humanity does not realize that the evolutionary program of consciousness is transitioning to an entirely new phase. This new phase or new order speaks of melded consciousness: the ability to merge with the spirit of everything else and be united with all as one.
But this unity is not for us. That’s the catch.
When I insist that we are standing on the brink of a spiritual crisis like none we have ever experienced in human history, this is exactly what I mean. Because to reach such a state where it’s possible to meld with everything, something else that "interferes" with such procession must be dissolved: the "training wheels."
The "training wheels" have made us who we are. They are what has made human, for better or worse. It’s an essential, integral part of who we are and of our identity. And once the mechanism dissolves, we can infer that our humanity dissolves with it.
This transition has many layers. In fact, the three aspects I mentioned in the first part—protection, tempering fears, and resolving emotional conflicts—they all disappear. On the surface, this is expressed, of course, as the loss of morality, conscience and ethics within humanity, as well as the loss of God, religion, and spirituality.
But on a more sophisticated level, they manifest in other ways.
I illustrated earlier that the origin of science is this drive to find the consistent pattern behind observed phenomena, and that the "protective factor" against the anxiety arising from not knowing the correct answer was morality and the image of God. This polar mechanism reveals that religion and science are two sides of the same coin (the fact that in collective science there are many dogmatic elements, can make the reader finally understand where that comes from).
Since the mechanism of morality is disappearing, there is no longer a balance between the two. One side of the coin becomes dominant, with no restraining factors. When there’s an answer for everything, but without a restraining mechanism, the illusion of a world without boundaries emerges—an illusion of endless possibilities and that any fantasy can be concretized in form. In such a world, God is no longer needed, and this is why God is dying.
As soon as we entered the industrial age, moving into the realm of machines, then later technology, and now the internet, we crossed a line of no return. This consciousness, which is now tied to computers and technology, has led us into a delusion of megalomania on steroids.
We’ve reached a point where we’ve collected answers upon answers from all corners of human history and organized them in a way that we can retrieve them in a push of a button. Instead of El-ohim, there’s the El-gorithm. Instead of Torah, there’s a formula. Instead of priests, there are “experts.”
Today, Google or ChatGPT are the new God. Anything we don’t know, we can ask them and receive an immediate answer. At least the new God gives you an answer, but that still doesn’t mean it’s the right one.
The collection of answers has given us the illusion that we truly know everything, even when we don’t. Simply because we can just pull an answer from the answer bank. The technological cloud fills the void left by the death of the tribal god. But it’s still an illusion, no less powerful than the illusion of the tribal God. We’ve merely replaced one false God with another.
A formula on a computer screen, a graph on a retina display, and a theory backed by sterile lab experiments have become higher in the hierarchy than practical, real-world experience.
For example, "climate change" or "global warming" is a reflection of this. We invented what I call “black hole label”, to which we add sophisticated jargon, formulas and graphs, into which we throw everything we don't know for sure to curb the anxiety. A perversion of a new "God" made by the vacuum left by the death of the tribal God.
And if there is no restraining factor in the form of mutual interdependence and interconnectedness, we actually enter the zone of the "self-destruction button"—a megalomania through which people begin to believe that these models are God.
A formula on a computer screen, a graph on a retina display, and a theory backed by sterile laboratory research have become higher in the hierarchy than real-world practicality. And without a restraining force, like morality, we have essentially entered the “self-destruction” zone—a megalomania in which people begin to believe they are God, with a capital ‘G’.
If you add to the equation the fact that the economy has been saturated with borrowed wealth from the future, over the past century, has inadvertently created an overindulgence of power that amplifies and affirms the megalomania. It gives people the illusion that they can impose their will and align everyone with these sterile formulas.
Add to the equation the fact that morality is dissolving within the individual, and you arrive at a reality where one can buy the souls of others in large quantities. And so, we have the likes of nouveau-riche oligarchs, who can buy experiments and blind adherence to directives, even though the residual negative impact they have on the earth and humanity is very concrete.
Scientism!
That's why we have all these global organizations, which for the first time in history are more powerful than the very countries that created them. As we can see, it operates on the same mechanism (a whole greater than the sum of its parts).
UN organizations and various NGOs essentially control every country and its politics in this world. Their massive grants and budgets shape politics and policies from afar. This creates immense pressure on countries. It's not that the UN is a country. The same goes for the World Health Organization, the European Union, NATO—whoever it may be—they are all cut from the same cloth.
What’s confusing is that the members of these organizations are still citizens of specific countries, but it’s as if there’s a kind of amnesia. Their membership in these organizations causes them to align completely with the organization itself, even though the organization has no country or national identity.
If you belong to an international organization, who are you loyal to? If being a member of an international organization give you immunity as a citizen of your country how easy it is to avoid responsibility when there are double standards!
One thing leads to another
On the other hand, automation and industrial development over the last 200 years have brought us to unprecedented saturation of the collective bubble, creating immense dependence on the privileges of the modern age that we’ve come to take for granted.
The side effect of this modern unity—aka “globalization”—manifests in horrific homogeneity, complacency, and a dulling of unique cognition and thinking. As a result, we find ourselves ignorant of many things, including how to survive and be healthy in this world. In such predicament, when there’s no longer a god, all that remains is expertise as an illusion of authority.
Think about the average person—if tomorrow there’s no electricity, can they survive? Do they know how to find water? Fix a broken faucet? Find food? Hunt? Not to mention maintaining basic health.
We’ve reached a consciousness of absurdity. We’ve developed so many skills and focused on very specific developments over the last century that if you want to understand something simple, you face numerous hurdles along the way. If you want to understand what’s happening in your body when you're sick, in simple language, before you can even open your mouth, you're shuffled between 13 specialists and 25 machines just to get a "prognosis."
Today, we conduct hundred-page studies filled with convoluted jargon to reach conclusions that our ancestors knew intuitively 100 years ago.
Given the comfort and complacency created by exponential progress, I want the reader to recognize how bizarre and dangerous the situation is. Because this creates a consciousness of automation—not just in the digital world but in the human world.
All it takes is a deepfake of a health official making a statement, and an entire throng of people follow the instructions without a shred of independent thought or self-critical thinking.
That’s what Covid demonstrated for the first time. It revealed how easy it was to shuffle from a dense collection of ad-hoc answers and inject them to any question we don’t know in full. By that, mask the terrible anxiety and avoid accountability at the same time. It’s a “bonanza” time for people who have made their career pretending to be certain.
Since the very beginning it was clear to me that what we have conditioned to call “covid”, or any other pandemic in the past, doesn’t come from some meat-market or a lab, but from within us. What we’ve been conditioned to call "Covid" represents a shift in consciousness. And in order to create a shift in consciousness, you need to alter things at the "hardware" level. Therefore, viruses are not the cause but the effect. They are like "smartphones" used by cells in the body for communication and transmission, in response to mutational changes.
What Covid tangibly showed us is that, for the first time in human history, the collective is stronger than the community and the individual that make it. An unquestionable "God-cloud" through which humanity is led and guided at every moment. The ability, through technology, to unite everyone into a whole greater than the sum of its parts, then dominates the individuals parts that make it.
So this colossal complacency and disconnection, along with widespread homogeneity, are what, on the other side of the equation, drive the inevitable rise of "sterile unity" in all its forms.
This is what’s important to understand: Each side creates the other. We live in a world increasingly ill with the disease of victimhood (which, by the way, is tied to the dissolution of the mechanism in question; the dissolution of morality creates emotional imbalance). So, the tendency is to overlook this crucial driving factor.
This manifests as the replacement of the tribal god's status, as a genetic information that dissolves within us, with "sterile babysitters": computer programs and algorithms of a bloated, complacent society that, through the over-saturation of information, has become ignorant.
In other words, the inevitable rise of scientism cannot occur without homogeneity, ignorance, and complacency. The loss of the our "backbone" begs for a new babysitter, given that the old one goes into retirement.
