“I stand against releasing genetically-modified mosquitoes in Florida”
My Commentary: “Control”-free experiment on non-consenting population?
Because “science,” you ignorant, backwards, ignoble savage! #ShitStatistsSay

“Science is anarchism. There is no ultimate or central authority in science. Scientists don’t just seek to work within the existing order, they often actively attack mainstream scientific thought. The decentralised nature of science means that a very wide range of ideas exists. Innovation can come from anywhere and the leading theories can be overthrown at anytime.”
My Commentary: “Rules without rulers,” in essence.
As I scrolled through my Facebook news feed, I discovered the following information here, being shared by my friend, Goff J-Crush P, and originally posted it to my own wall…
#BlackHerstory: In the 19th century, the father of modern gynecology, J. Marion Sims, conducted his research experiments on enslaved Black women. Sims performed the invasive and torturous procedures without anesthesia. J. Marion Sims’ justification for choosing not to anesthetize his test subjects was that he did not believe Black women felt pain at all. In an 1857 lecture, he stated that it was “not painful enough to justify the trouble.”
My Commentary: Behold! “Science” as a religion!
Individuals must finally recognize the fact that no school of thought or ideology is immune to corruption! The destruction that overzealous control-freaks and power-hungry tyrants can wreak on a sleep-walking humanity “is as boundless as the dark” they operate in when they commit their crimes against nature!
Human sacrifice in the pursuit of knowledge has taken place so many more times in the field of medicine than most “science-lovers” would ever dare admit to… that is, if they’ve even bothered looking into the topic! They simply cannot admit that science is merely *knowledge,* alone – not wisdom, not understanding, and most DEFINITELY not morality! And, this represents just ONE of the many reasons that science is NOT EVEN CLOSE to being a single line of forward-moving progress towards “truth,” as many of those Individuals raised up on State education have been led to believe. Science is much better understood as a living tree of DATA, networked in a jumbled, overlapping, bush of branches – with many thriving in the light, while some mold in the ground, wither in the shade, and rot from pestilence. Such a system is in need of constant trimming using the “scientific method,” and shall forever remain rife with conflicting theories and viewpoints that will often take more than a century for humanity to resolve, if never!
Among some of the other reasons that science cannot accurately be viewed as a straight-line path to “truth”:
– Nothing in science is absolute, only more and more highly probable
– Science is a tool “only as good” as those human beings utilizing it
– Science can involve very complex topics, fields, ideas, equations, etc., beyond the grasp of the “layman,” making it especially susceptible to fallacious “appeals to authority” – especially from those unable to fully appreciate the scientific method.
– Science often receives large-scale funding, usually for large-scale projects, making it highly vulnerable to rotten-minded political agendas (i.e. the American government’s genocidal eugenic sterilization program, the Nazi government’s genocidal eugenic murder program, the U.S. Public Health Service’s Tuskegee Syphilis Experiments, the American Government’s Guatemala Syphilis Experiments, Pavlov’s Conditioning Experiments on children, an entire racist branch of science called “Craniology,” early psychiatrists diagnosing runaway “slaves” with “Drapetomia,” psychiatrists in the USSR diagnosing political dissidents with “Sluggish Schizophrenia,” torturous homosexual “Aversion Therapy” in South Africa’s Apartheid-era military, the CIA’s Project MK-Ultra + Project Bluebird + Project Artichoke, etc, etc, etc… These are just a few of the more well-known historical examples exposed throughout the years…) (Click Here to Continue Reading This Post)
The following correspondence originally took place upon onto my Facebook wall…
Female (XX, or XXX), Male (XY), and Intersex (XXY)
Rayn: Check it out, Karl! Just now, while scrolling my timeline, I noticed a FB friend of mine sharing this article, and Rosalind Franklin is the very first researcher mentioned – just like we were talking about the other day! Synchronicity! 🙂
6 Women Scientists Who Were Snubbed Due to Sexism:

Siobhán L.: Nice article!
Siobhán L.: Also – as you might know – Nettie Stevens has probably played a large role in my own life, in which if they never figured out chromosomal sex – I might be in a very different situation, (I am XXY)
Rayn: Wow! More synchronicity! I was literally JUST talking about the topic of intersex with my husband only a little while after making this post. The reason why is because I had also talked about it with a friend yesterday afternoon, during an interview that she asked to conduct on me regarding the topic of “Diversity and Oppression” for a master’s level course she is currently taking at Rutger’s. At that time, before the interview started, while we we warming up with a discussion on unrealized forms of bias and discrimination, I eventually brought up intersex individuals, and, at one point, even mentioned how this group makes up at least 1% of the population – a figure she found to be surprising. So, right after making the post above, I remembered that portion of my pre-interview discussion, and finally decided to look up the figures again, to know for sure. After I was done, I showed my husband, who was also present during my interview, and then, I once again began railing against the common and accepted practice of surgical intervention shortly after birth for those individuals who express any significant form of having both male and genitalia (just as I had done the first time I looked into intersex about a year ago). I cannot help but see it as nothing more than an arrogant and misguided attempt to “medically” force the false dichotomy of a two-gender society.
Siobhán L.: Agreed – speaking about specifically XXY individuals – about 1/3rd of us are fine with being ID’d as male, about 1/3rd as female (I fall into this group) – but about 1/3rd ID as both, a 3rd gender, or genderqueer. I think this is fairly standard across other types of IS too – but I don’t know as much about them from experience.
Siobhán L.: I also fall into a weird other category of being an XXY individual who’s mother took a synthetic estrogen while pregnant with me – causing more teratogenic effects of having only partially formed male parts, and partially formed female parts (I think it’s probably about 80% male, 20% female – roughly)
Rayn: No doubt, Siobhán. Thank you for your valuable input! I really appreciate it! 🙂
The following debate originally took place upon the Facebook wall of an ex-acquaintance…
Brian K.: The Anti-Vaccine Movement: A Terrible Track Record:
http://jdc325.wordpress.com/2013/04/26/the-anti-vaccine-movement-a-terrible-track-record/
“As it turns out, the anti-vaccinationists are remarkably consistent. Time and time again, they are shown to be wrong. I’m not sure how many times a group needs to be wrong before people stop seeing them as credible. Perhaps people need to be reminded of how many times this group has been wrong?”
Genaire: I can’t say for certain how wrong or right they are, I can say for certain that most medicine’s side effects are far worse then the illness they have been created to treat. I would think the same would apply to vaccinations. I would also ask myself why would I want to get vaccinated when my body’s own immune system can do the same thing in most cases without the side effects.
