[QUOTE]Originally posted by Andromeda2025: [QB] Science is being used as the strong arm of European Hegemony. Hillary Clinton Was the First Casualty in the New Information Wars The former presidential nominee made her case that a Russian-backed “conspiracy” to “weaponize” social media took down her campaign. https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2017/05/hillary-clinton-information-wars/528765/ Again, this is NOT true. The British have been using Science literature to justify wars, conquest and exploitation for hundreds of years. Scientific imperialism is a term that appears to have been coined by Dr. Ellis T. Powell when addressing the Commonwealth Club of Canada on 8 September 1920. Though he defined imperialism as "the sense of arbitrary and capricious domination over the bodies and souls of men," yet he used the term "scientific imperialism" to mean "the subjection of all the developed and undeveloped powers of the earth to the mind of man."[1] In modern parlance, however, scientific imperialism refers to situations in which critics perceive science to act imperiously. Philosopher of science John Dupré described it (in his 1994 paper Against Scientific Imperialism) as "the tendency to push a good scientific idea far beyond the domain in which it was originally introduced, and often far beyond the domain in which it can provide much illumination." He also wrote that "devotees of these approaches are inclined to claim that they are in possession not just of one useful perspective on human behavior, but of the key that will open doors to the understanding of ever wider areas of human behavior."[2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_imperialism [/QB][/QUOTE]
