Unite behind the scientism

 

Here are some hypothetical (kind of) scenarios.

Imagine a scientist finding a cure for some disease that mostly kills young people. He then buys the shares of the business producing the medicine, and becomes filthy rich by artificially inflating the prices.

In response, the state expropriates his business. Now, everyone in that particular nation can get the medicine at low cost. The state is happy, since they now have more canon-fodder for its constant colonial wars. Thus, the medicine ends up helping to create an empire that kills millions.

Somehow, an international organization of the UN type manages to get hold of the medicine and distribute it free of charge globally. The world population doubles in just 50 years, leading to huge migrant streams, a downward pressure on wages and salaries, and eventually famine that kills off the surplus population. Billions die.

This leads to a socialist revolution. Everywhere. At once. It´s one of the most stunning turn-arounds in human (pre)history. The population levels are stabilized at exactly the right level. A rational planned economy is introduced. Much production of goods and services is robotized. Everyone can live a happy fulfilling life with a relatively high standard of living. Indeed, since there are now fewer people than before, the people who are left will demand a constantly rising standard of living, since there are now seemingly abundant resources to “share” (exploit). Politicians who want to hold back are voted out of office, or purged during cornucopian struggle-sessions. Within 100 years, a combination of climate crisis and environmental degradation leads to famine. Billions die and the perfect utopia collapses.

Note that the science in all cases was absolutely true. The medicine actually worked. It really did eradicate the dreadful disease. Indeed, it did so thanks to new insights in the Darwinian evolution of bacteria. Postmodernism, occultism and all kinds of superstition were decisively disproven by the scientists. Everyone united behind the science and rejoiced!

And yet, everyone was killed in the end.

Funny how some shit works.
