For Texas Textbooks, a Victory For Evolution
An anonymous reader writes "The Texas Board of Education has unanimously come down on the side of evolution. In an 8-0 vote, the board today approved scientifically accurate high school biology textbook supplements from established mainstream publishers — and did not approve the creationist-backed supplements from International Databases, LLC."
Whatever you feel about Creationism or Evolution ala Darwin, having a handful of people decide such issues about what will and what will not be known, I would like to point out has historically been a very bad thing.
I mean what is next? Only books that further a given view of science that doesn't contradict or threaten a communities NSF grants are permitted?
I also think that CERN censoring information is also a bad thing. Contrary to what the people at CERN think, not everyone outside their sphere are stupid and cannot interpret the results of the experiments they perform.
This all points to a scientific dark age, which I think we are already in personally.
For example, take climate change. We all know climate change could kill us. But what does the leadership think we should do? Well, so far they hold climate conferences and half of the idiots invited are just super wealthy. If there are any scientists that go to these conferences, they are sucking at the teet of these wealthy for some sort of agenda. Year after year I read the solution that comes out of these conferences is, a world tax on carbon to be paid to, you guessed it, the super wealthy or climate change will kill us all if the super wealthy don't get their tax money. Oh, and lets not forget the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation out there pushing vaccines to "help cure disease in the third world" wink wink (sterlize them or kill them outright those dirty brown/black people also known as useless eaters by the royal family House of Windsor)
So, instead of taking the logical approach which is to liberate the human potential and combine it with the limitless potential of our solar systems resource base, you would think we would begin in earnest to massively hire huge numbers of engineers, jump start whole industries and develop our local area of space.
Nope.
Apparently 27 TRILLION dollars of US Tax payers money went to the Rothchild family, the Dark Nobility of Europe and various banking families throughout the world. Money that exchanged hands of about 80,000 people. 27 Trillion dollars.
We could solve any engineering problem in space and near earth orbit with that sort of cash inflow. New technologies, new medicines. Even access to the mineral wealth of the Asteroid belt, which is probably incalculable how much industrial and economic wealth is there.
Nope, never going to happen. Not now, not 100 years from now, not even probably 1,000 years from now. Technology to protect and stabilize the human condition, to insure our future children have a better future. A future where they do not have to look up at the sky in fear if they see a new comet and wonder. Is this the big one?
Nope. Instead we kill any and all space research and continue to listen to our leaders about how the world is, that you have to do with less so we can have more. Tyranny grips the globe like a IRON vice and there is no place to flee. Tyranny now in the hands of globalist bankers who control the worlds most powerful military on earth and threaten us every day, that if you don't submit more of your freedoms, a nuclear bomb is going to go off in your city.
So you better bend over for that TSA agent, or we will nuke your city, pull your social security checks.
Meanwhile, people are just happy to sit around and argue about how they are going to restrict knowledge and freedom on slashdot to get their Score 5.
