Scientists Say Dumb Things #001

By Leo Gura - January 29, 2022

If I wasn’t so lazy I would make a public catalogue of the world’s supposedly best scientists and academics saying dumb shit. Here’s a bit to get us started :

David Wolpert: “is an American mathematician, physicist and computer scientist. He is a professor at Santa Fe Institute. He is the author of three books, three patents, over one hundred refereed papers, and has received numerous awards.” Yet has no clue why religion exists or what Buddhism is.

Buddhism “is grounded in obsession with self”? Lol

This is said about him on his Wikipedia page:

“Limitations On Knowledge: Wolpert has put forward a formal argument to show that it is in principle impossible for any intellect to know everything about the universe of which it forms a part.”

Yet he lacks the intellect to see that his intelligence is not just some part of the Universe but the whole of the Universe.

The Universe (YOU) is capable of knowing everything about itself because it is whole, one, sovereign, conscious, and infinitely intelligent. You are capable of omniscience. Wake up! The Universe is your Mind!

Listening to these scientists and academics reason about reality is like watching children trying to eat a whole roast turkey with chopsticks while wearing tuxedos and patting each other on the back.

P.S. What’s educational about Curt’s channel is that he spends so much time and intellectual energy interviewing all these world-class intellectuals, academics, scientists, and PhDs in a desperate attempt to comprehend the ultimate nature of reality — yet reality is never understood. That’s not because reality cannot be understood. It’s just that such conversations always go in circles because you cannot understand the ultimate nature of reality through scientific analysis. So what’s missing is a deep recognition of that fact. A method beyond science is necessary. But if you grew up indoctrinated in the methods of science (as Curt and his audience has), your mind lacks the requisite variety necessary to transcend science. And so you keep going around in intellectual circles forever, thinking you are making progress. No offense to Curt. He does a fantastic job. But it will not ever result in Truth. And this is a highly educational point for those of you who are serious about seeking Truth. I’m not saying this to attack some scientist or Curt, I’m pointing out a serious trap to you. Do you understand how deep the self-deception problem goes? Do you understand that you will fuck this up unless you’re super careful with how you use your mind? I hope so.
