Scientific understanding is always partial and biased

Many people may believe science is the most reliable arbiter of truth but in terms of people's specific beliefs it is their exposure to and understanding of a limited subset of all science performed that will determine them. 

No person has a deep understanding of all science and even supposed experts may have biases that determine which science they accept and which they reject. That's why we have continued scientific debate in all fields involving any level of complexity. 

The idea of "settled science" is too often a marketing term or it may describe an area where all accepted scientists are conditioned to share the same perspective. It doesn't mean other views are not possible or that they are "unscientific".

The vilification and attack on independent thinkers

Establishment media gives the impression that going against establishment thinking is foolish and downright dangerous. People brainwashed by this actively attack those who don't believe as they have been programmed to. They are like wind-up toys. The media winds them up with their fear-based drivel and the frightened souls who believe this nonsense then project their fear and resulting anger at people who have done nothing against them, except think and live independently of establishment dogma. 

All the dissenters generally want is to be left alone to live life in a way that is appropriate for them. They are not interested in group think and the establishment-believing under-seige mentality that is always looking for an enemy to attack.

God's will, God's desire and free will

When people say "God's will" I think they generally mean God's desire. For example, humans are generally thought to have free will, in which case our life is lived according to our own will, not according to the will of a hypothesised supreme being. 

We may believe in a supreme being and we may also believe this being has a desire for us to live in harmony with love, for example. But the idea that a supreme being wills us to live a certain way makes no sense if we believe in free will. 

If we believe a creator made this reality then we could say that this reality is shaped according to the will of the creator. But we can't say that about our lives. We only will things that we can control. The things we cannot control we can only have a desire about. For example, we may desire another person to love us as we love them, but we can't will it. To repeat, we can only will things we control. And if we believe in free will then no creator controls us. That's the whole point of free will and it's something few people seem to understand.

Everyone has to come to their own conclusions

It doesn't matter what I or anyone else believes. Everyone has to come to their own conclusions by doing their own research. It's good to listen and read about other people's experience of things that interest us and this can influence our own beliefs, but we need many data points to discern truth, not just one. Unless it's our own experience, in which case one data point is fine, as long as we're of sound body and mind.

Scientism is the new conservatism

People who closely follow a religion are often thought of as conservatives but I would say that those who follow establishment science pronouncements that appear in the mainstream media are the true conservatives of today. 

Believing in things that establishment science (seemingly) has not proven is more of a radical approach to living. 

So atheism, materialism and scientism are the new forms of conservatism in my view, particularly in an age where (widely promoted) science is often seen as the arbiter of truth.

The under-seige mentality of establishment believers

Establishment media gives the impression that going against establishment thinking is foolish and downright dangerous. People brainwashed by this actively attack those who don't believe. They are like wind-up toys. The media winds them up with their fear-based drivel and the frightened souls who believe this nonsense then project their fear and resulting anger at people who have done nothing against them, except think and live independently. All the dissenters generally want is to be left alone to live life in a way that is appropriate for them. They are not interested in group think and the establishment-believing under-seige mentality that is always looking for an enemy to attack.

The use of labels to demonise people

The idea behind the use of such labels as "conspiracy theorist", "anti-semite", "racist", "misogynist", etc. is to make the labelled person seem beyond the pale and not worth listening to. 

These labels are not about accurately representing the person. They're about influencing other people to dismiss or ignore anything the labelled person says. 

Of course such labels won't put off the intrepid person who knows how these things work. It only puts off the more heavily brainwashed and controlled members of society, who have no real passion for truth.

God's will v free will

I don't believe the Creator dictates our life as many seem to believe. Instead, I believe we have free will. That free will can be used any way we please, but that doesn't mean our actions don't have consequences, it just means we are in control of our life and the consequences of our actions are our responsibility, not the God's.

That doesn't mean I don’t believe in a "righteous path", it just means that I don't think God or the Creator directs our lives, that's all.
