Gender and racial discrimination, exploitation and so forth are only effects. The real problem is that it is possible to suppress the people with false Science or false descriptions of the world; that supports Might Is Right. Or like this. We are not genuine citizens.

The Effects of Hidden Might Is Right – Science is Used to Suppress You



Ben Goldacre is engaged by real Science and especially Medicine – or what can be proved must be valid – and attacks the injustice and fraud of the current Western culture with precision.

Goldacre brings out that what is called Science or Medicine are areas of propaganda with the only objective to fool you in order to maintain the established system of suppression. They trick you to believe that Science or Medicine is about to help you.

Or like this. If they fix your broken leg. It is not to help you. It is all about to secure that you are an efficient production unit.

Goldacre is the perfect intro to a whole area or movement regarding evidence based science that is especially active in medicine at least this is what I understand at the moment. There is, for example, the organisation Cochrane engaged in Evidence-based medicine that says they have 37.000 members worldwide.

Goldacre has written well received books and has a huge and very interesting site called Bad Science where you can find stuff like the following from Fixing flaws in science must be professionalised, 10 July, 2015 by Goldacre and Tracey Brown published in the Journal of Clinical Epidemiology, February 2016.

... The flaws we see today, in the structures of evidence based medicine, are a significant public health problem. It is remarkable that we should have identified such widespread problems, with a demonstrable impact on patient care, documented them meticulously, and then left matters to fix themselves. It is as if we had researched the causes of cholera, and then sat proudly on our publications, doing nothing about cleaning the water or saving lives. ...

What is so fascinating is what Goldacre and others says or writes has little or absolutely no impact or value other than as entertainment and a false proof of that the Western society is based on Science and Democracy.
