start by explaining the title. Adulteration, of course, refers to the action of adultery, while adultery refers to "Vicia, falsifying something." Therefore, if we speak of knowledge we will be considering tampering with the process by which such knowledge taints or falsified. But ... It can be adulterated?
is clear that throughout history has been manipulated, targeted at the convenience of power, either neutralizing or blocking the development. Processes and educational programs, cultural development, the focus of research and science, etc. have been oriented towards the interests of the groups who held and hold power. Moreover, the control of knowledge always assumed control of the company itself. A clear example is in the religions that have shaped the evolution of science and subjected their interests and beliefs. It would be necessary to bring up to Hypatia, Galileo or many others, who were repressed, if not eliminated, to defend science and reason as opposed to faith and irrational dogmas. While some scientists argue the compatibility between religion and science, is no less true that this statement holds only with assimilation and adaptation of religion to the explanatory model of science. No longer are Adam and Eve our first parents, nor the world made in six days and the seventh break (as if God had to rest, which amounts to saying that this god has been created in the image and likeness of man and for this ), but says it was a way of explaining things so that ordinary people could understand. At this point, religion has divested itself of its tax pride to survive, arguably, to science and has given up its intransigence to counteract the effect of it. It is generally accepted, the Darwinian evolutionary process, but is criticized from many different sources to let the essence questioned human principles and values \u200b\u200bthat clash with the religious.
In this regard I quote Steven Weinberg, American physicist and Nobel Prize in physics in 1979, writing in The New York Review of Books that "religious beliefs have been weakened in the West thanks to scientific progress, which has beaten some of the bases of religiosity. One of them: the fact that science explain phenomena formerly considered as mysterious (thunder or fire). Another important stress is that science has forced us to rethink the role of humans in the world: being an actor created by God has become a product of animal evolution. " In short, says Weinberg, Science has undermined religious belief.
Well, while the religions (note that I speak not only of the Catholic even our own, culturally speaking) had, or have, control knowledge, manipulated, concealed or destroyed that they were not interested and reinforced and developed that they were related. The funny thing is that they presented, and have, this savior of knowledge, since self-proclaimed guardians of science and scholarship through its monasteries, when it is a fallacy, because although they were guarding him, not is less controlled and manipulated it to their advantage to adulterate. Hence the title of my writing.
But they are not the only religions that manipulate and distort the knowledge. Although at one time were steadfast allies, even symbiotic, of earthly power, assuming this function while the other arms dealing and administration, today, at least in our area, as Weinberg says, this responsibility is shared with companies , the media, universities and many more. has been to diversify the cultivation of knowledge.
But make no mistake, religions, according to countries, continue to exercise such control and being in charge of training and education from primary school to college absolutely, while others, like ours, are defended as Garo belly up to what they consider civil indoctrination, without giving up the idea of \u200b\u200bindoctrination that they have practiced and practiced for their reaffirmation and uptake of the faithful. The bad thing about religion, when they show their stale fundamentalism and the idea of \u200b\u200bpossession of absolute truth is that do not support another thought, another way of seeing things, and enlightened self-proclaimed God as if God were an idiot and that would negligently allowed to appear other ideas, and they would need to make those enlightened see the truth. That idea mitómana megalomaniacal and borders on the pathological and despises the very God they claim to represent, as it disqualify, for I understand that the way to see and know the truth is the development of knowledge and intelligence, free will, that gave the human being. God exists, and has created mechanisms for the advancement of knowledge that brings man to the truth and these are reason, research and science.
But it is not intending to leave no free puppet head, is that the old trend and firm conviction that power is exercised from the control of knowledge, is installed on your system, carried east by the paths of interest general of the powerful, business, banking and technological development is economically viable for them. It investigates what may be obvious benefits and neutralizes, hidden or neglected to research unprofitable business. The money then is the new god, who directs, manipulates, controls and hence the development of knowledge corrupts. When you miss something, they tend to buy it. Note attempts to influence university research through cooperation agreements between it and the company, providing capital and reaping the benefits. The university increasingly more oriented their research to the interests of social development, which represent business and his philosophy of life and progress, in the sense of being, while relaxing the research approach to the human senses and development.
That means that we are corrupting the knowledge through the exclusive focus on what interests them the powerful, economically speaking, while obviously one that focuses on the development of the individual, as I said. Research in weapons, in both health and genetic food in astronomy, technology, etc ... but in any case, the weapons used to kill the other house, while the other advances will be used to improve our home, which is where the money to pay and profit and profitability. Of course, the neoliberal trend, means that progress can only reach those who can pay, others that Hustler, entering the market and play if they are able to enter the wheel of commercial fortune of exploitative labor and trade ...
In this sense, without disregarding any expansion of knowledge, I think much more constructive search for the evolution of human beings as individual and collective agency to focus on the purely material and commercial. Obviously, the body's nutrients are essential to facilitate mechanical activity is desirable, but must serve to further growth of the integral being, his intellect, otherwise we will walk rooted in the simplicity of the instrumental.
While that has complicated the issue of control of consciousness due to computer media and the field developed on the Internet, which is allowing the massive flow of ideas and information between nations and people, it is also true that high technology and control of these flows is still in the hands of power, as is being seen in the popular movements in Tunisia and Egypt, the government and that power can block a convenience when they feel attacked or questioned by the public through the media.
Meanwhile, returning to the idea of \u200b\u200bfree-thinking my previous entry, I send you to hell and I realize that I have stuck in the consumer system. I submitted my alienation, but to be aware it start to impose use and dependence criteria that allow me to free myself from this subordination ... I do not know if I'll get it in whole or in part. If it is, at least in part, I'll start to be satisfied as they evolve ... That, dear friends, that to express my ideas and read those of others through the free exercise makes us the world blogger, helps me address this situation, search and find knowledge.
