"Modern scientists have endangered humanity
severely, repeatedly, and remorselessly."
"Biased scientific sources have long misled worldwide politicians, public officials, legislators, entrepreneurs, intellectuals, and news reporters, who routinely supported scientific programs."
"The half-truths of the Nobel Prize diplomas have long risked humanity."
"It has long been high time to abolish the Nobel Prize."
"The present circumstances are hard to comprehend.
Humanity faces scores of extinction threats that tend to grow.
Humanity's chances of survival are drastically low and might well diminish.
Indeed, a single accident, mistake, or deliberate decision might trigger total human extinction anytime, even next week, as simple as that."
"Scientific institutions have sophisticatedly obfuscated the catastrophic hazards of their most celebrated achievements."
"Yielding to heavy pressures of group thinking, scientists have routinely exaggerated the positive and belittled the negative outcomes of their activities."
"Though long acclaimed for their critical procedures and methods, scientific institutions have evaded a critical review of their millennia-old, taken-for-granted objectives and presuppositions."
"Scientific industrialization has risked humanity."
"Scientific specialization has risked humanity."
"Scientific experimentation has risked humanity."
"Scientific language has risked humanity."
"Scientific logic has risked humanity."
"Scientific information has risked humanity."
"Scientific education has risked humanity."
"Quite simply, hard science is not worth the risk."
"Unlike Nobel laureates, noble savages like Indigenous and Aboriginals never celebrate their contribution to humanity. Nor do they ever endanger humanity.
It makes me wonder who really deserves the gold medals."
"In retrospect, ruining the environment was a joint effort of state officials, entrepreneurs, and scientists.
All concerned suffered from over optimism, deficient knowledge, excessive self-interests, and lavish doses of group thinking."
"Billions of people worldwide get daily media coverage that backs the grand old narrative about the wonderful wonders of science.
Maybe one in ten thousand media reports is mindful of the 'dark powers of destruction unleashed by science,' which alarmed President John Kennedy decades ago."
"If the entire scientific endeavor was treated like a business venture – which, to a large extent it is – it would not pass an elementary risk assessment test."
"Defective scientific logic obscured by opaque scientific jargon commonly disrupted adequate control of scientific developments."
"Eight billion humans were covertly forced by small powerful elites to take part in patently foolish gambling."
"The huge profits of the 19th-century explosives industry channeled to the overwhelming Nobel-Prize campaigns spearhead the heavy trafficking of opium for the masses.
Thus, scientists are given a carte blanche to jeopardize humankind since they 'contribute to humankind.'”
"A friend just told me that contemporary scientific elites are mightier than any social elite that ever existed.
He added that – based on The March of Folly by Barbara
Tuchman – the offspring of excessive might is stupidity."
"If Erasmus Desiderius could comment on the present state of affairs, he would say that the secular scientific civilization is governed by the goddess of stupidity."
"Which scientist has asked for humanity's permission to risk humanity?
Which scientist has word by word admitted that he had risked humanity?
Which scientist has said "I am sorry?"
"One thing is obvious: Defective scientific logic cannot tackle defective scientific logic.
If you choose to investigate scientific thinking, the one thing you should not do is to think like a scientist."
"Through an odd mix of self-interests, false logic, phony ethics, strict conventionalism, and sheer ignorance, scientific institutions have entrapped humanity."
"Biased scientific sources have long misled worldwide politicians, public officials, legislators, entrepreneurs, intellectuals, and news reporters, who routinely supported scientific programs."
