SCIENCE VS SCIENTISM AND RELIGION : THE PROBLEM OF DEMOCRACY

There is a fundamental difference between those who possess the capacity for utilizing reason, those who possess the capacity for comprehending reason, and those who possess the capacity for utilizing rules and conventions, and those who lack the capacity for utilizing any of the above.

To suggest that science and reason are sufficient devices for cooperation and social order in a division of knowledge and labor, is UNSCIENTIFIC because it is contrary to both evidence and reason.

Science becomes the religion of scientism and no better than mysticism if it supposes universal application and utility.

The question remains: why must we advocate one unified means of argument and comprehension, across all peoples within a polity? The answer is that under the irrational religion of secular democracy – those institutions which we currently live under – we suppose unanimity of ability in order to justify the use of state power.

If you can understand this, you will understand that the problem is not one of science versus religion – which in principle can produce the same ends. But between the false premise of universalism and equality mandated the the institution of democracy.

It is our political system that is the cause of our problems.
