Insight - Science, Ideology & Supremacism

Modern technologies have roots in ancient theories

• Ideological fashions have more influence on scientific endeavour than we admit

• C19th researchers found culture and civilization written in the brain

• Nerves tweaked to give birth to a new humanity, restoring ‘the order’

• Today’s neoliberal neurosociety seeks ‘modding’ the brain in pursuit of the self

• Musk’s Neuralink derives from effords to find mental functions in the cortex

• Charles Lieber and Microsoft develop tiny devices that feed off our bodily energy

• Freedom is destroyed as humanity becomes the object of its own distorted reason

• The elevation of The Science that makes no allowance for what it does not know

• We are three years into a coup on democracy in the name of emergency

Paul Flechsig claimed to find culture and civilisation inscribed in the brain

Aug 11, 2022

A recent scandal in in dementia research is connected to centuries of studies linked to eugenics and theories that racial superiority could be traced to the mental functions within the cortex.

The practice of following the ideological fashions of the era is that one gains funding and notoriety, at the cost of cancelling other, rival paths of research. Group think and a stampede for research funds provided the cover for a fraudulent hypothesis that plaque in the neural pathways causes dementia.

Elon Musk’s Neuralink traces its origins to late 19th century research. Paul Flechsig in the 1880s thought he had found how culture and civilization is inscribed in the brain - a field of research related to the study of the skull or phrenology. At the turn of the century Oskar and Cécile Vogt saw the brain as a library. Today the metaphor is a computer. Oskar’s objective was to find “the long-hoped for scientific basis for planned breeding [willkürliche Zuchtwahl], the racial hygiene of the future.”

The dominant view of today’s “neoliberal neurosociety” is the enhancement and modification of the brain in pursuit of the self — that all human actions can be distilled from neuroanatomical observation, and that psychiatry is merely the treatment of diseases of the brain.

The researcher and author Antonia Majaca argues that seeing behaviour and thought as resulting from the individual brain is reductionist.

Not only did holistic notions of uplifting the soul go out of the window, along with early 19th century Romantische Naturphilosophie; psychiatry itself was perverted until it was merely the treatment of “diseased” individuals who failed to adapt to society that was assumed to be healthy.

The story of Daniel Paul Schreber, a “mad judge” and the subject of influential comment by Sigmund Freud among others, has strange parallels with today.

He was a patient of Flechsig’s at a time when the latter was promoting the idea of the personality as the wiring of the brain — an information-processing machine that can be reconfigured to adapt to different needs of social engineering. This replaced the metaphor of the clock used in earlier centuries, yet both analogies are inadequate, as Theodore Roszak has shown.

The reduction of everything to the observable and rational is an error of ideology, in its original meaning as the philosophy of the mind which derives knowledge from the senses, as opposed to metaphysics. Similarly knowledge of the “unknown unknowns” has always been a question, religious, spiritual or of the mystery of consciousness. Yet the idea that one can capture the totality of human life within mathematics or computer has come to dominate for more than a century.

A highly respected judge until his middle years, Schreber suffered three periods of madness (what today might be called psychosis or schizophrenia) imagining that divinely-created, “fleeting-improvised men” were playing with his nerves because God had entrusted him with saving humanity after it had been destroyed.

“His final delusion was that his nerves were attractive to God and that therefore his mission to renew humanity also required his becoming a woman in order to be penetrated and impregnated by the nerves of God. This mad-divine encounter would in turn give birth to a new humanity that would restore the “order of things” (Weltordnung).”[1]

In these ravings the reader will surely have noticed a strange parallel with the post-Covid prescription for a new order in which nanoliquid particles “play with our nerves” through the targeted and timed release of God-knows-what; the patents held by Charles Lieber and Microsoft for tiny devices that feed off our bodily energy; and while seemingly every government and corporate institution pushes for man to become woman, to bring forth a new humanity after a depopulation event.

Power and madness

Was Schreber another half-mad genius who foresaw a dystopian future... or is there a script that writes itself when those who are ill-suited for power by temperament, psychology or nerves, attain position or fail to gain what they consider they deserve?

Schreber thought so: two instances of his madness followed an unsuccessful run for the Reichstag and his appointment as Saxony's top judge.

This deluded version of the white man’s burden is for Schreber, born two years before Nietzsche and dying in 1911, a warped inversion of Enlightenment Reason in the view of Denise Ferreira da Silva — “that which falls prey to Reason by becoming its object has no place in the realm of Freedom.”

Isn’t freedom being destroyed as humanity becomes the object of its own distorted reason: of the elevation of a short-sighted science that makes no allowance for what it doesn't know?

Do we begin to perceive the outlines of the messianic drive to remake the world? Is it perhaps a psychological illness which presents itself as a belief that it is a simple matter for a nano-electrician to rewire the mind through the blood-brain barrier and also to reset our DNA?

The objective

If it is not a psychological illness among the power seekers, then it must be either delusion or intentional.

“It” is no longer in question. UK government data show that at least one in 246 people have died within 60 days of the clot shot. The U.S. VAERS and UK Yellow Card do not prove causation, merely correlation, but 600 per cent more deaths are recorded in VAERS during the past 19 months than in the previous 32 years. [2]

No previous vaccine has done even one per cent of such damage without being withdrawn. The fact that it is not withdrawn and is still promoted as safe and effective suggests the “side-effects” are a feature not a bug.

In Indianapolis, OneAmerica, a national life insurance company, reports that working age people (18 to 64) are dying at a rate that is 40 per cent higher than pre-pandemic rates.

Tech millionaire Steve Kirsch, co-inventor of the optical mouse, funds his own teams of researchers who scour medical records. He will no longer contribute to the Democratic Party because not a single Congressman would discuss his finding that hundreds of thousands of Americans had died after the Covid blessing. [3]
