21stcenturywire--2020-07-24--UK Gov’t Ignored Own Internal Report Predicting Massive Deaths Due to Lockdown

By now , the UK government ’ s handling of the coronavirus crisis has become one painful slow-motion train wreck .
This week , it just got worse ( as if that was even possible , but ineptitude and corruption always find a way confound even the worst skeptics ) .
Just last week , we learned that Public Health England ( PHE ) has been counting people who died of natural causes as “ COVID deaths ” simply because they had previously tested positive for the coronavirus at some point in the past ( meaning you can ’ t @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
This is just one example of many administrative techniques used by governments to ‘ cook the books ’ in order to inflate their COVID numbers in order to drive increasingly aggressive emergency policies , masks and their vaccine agenda .
The real truth of the matter is that many more people already have died , and will continue suffer due to the government ’ s disastrous lockdown policies – many more than have ever ( or will ever ) die from COVID-19 .
This is no mere opinion , this is demonstrably @ @ @ @ @ @ @ What ’ s worse , the UK Government chose to ignore its own internal report from April which predicted massive deaths due to reactionary Lockdown policies .
This can only mean we are witnessing a complete breakdown in competence and functioning of the apparatus of government .
In his piece entitled “ The fatal cost of lockdown , ” Rob Lyons from Spiked Online explains… “ This week , the Telegraph reported on a government study , published in April , which estimated both the short-term and long-term impacts of lockdown .
In @ @ @ @ @ @ @ would reduce the number of cases of Covid-19 , the collateral damage would be enormous .
So was lockdown worth it ?
The report , produced by the Department of Health , the Office of National Statistics ( ONS ) , the government ’ s Actuary Department and the Home Office , concluded that the disease itself would kill 50,000 , but delayed healthcare would kill 12,000 to 25,000 in the short term and 185,000 people in the long term .
On top of that , recession could kill anywhere between 600 to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lives , domestic violence about 20 , and accidents at home would cause deaths in the ‘ low tens ’ .
In short , perhaps 200,000 people or more could die as a result of the lockdown , according to these estimates.
” So while Boris Johnson ’ s government was so eager early on to heed Imperial College and Prof. Neil Ferguson ’ s ‘ worst case scenario ’ of 500,000 COVID deaths , these same government experts completely ignored what turned out to be accurate ( if not completely underestimated ) @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lockdown policies .
What ’ s worse , the lockdown death total will continue to rise while the UK government continues to keep its NHS closed to regular patients , still running the pantomime of a ‘ COVID only ’ health service .
Conversely , author also warned about the government ’ s over reliance on computer modelling to provide an illusion of certainty of likely outcomes : “ Moreover , these government estimates will have been produced using models , which must always be treated with caution .
Not only are models @ @ @ @ @ @ @ society works — they also make assumptions about fatality rates , speed of viral spread , the effectiveness of screening programmes for cancer and more that may or may not be particularly accurate.
” After four months , it is now easy to so that there are many fatal flaws in how the government and health officials began handling the coronavirus crisis – mistakes that continue to this day , and which will no doubt continue to be compounded so long as officials fail to acknowledge their own gross errors from the onset @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to admit you got it wrong , but it seems these days that ’ s the one thing politicians are not prepared to do .
It would be too devastating to both their egos and lavish political careers .
Hence , the people will continue to suffer because of the corrupt vapidity of this political class .

By now, the UK government’s handling of the coronavirus crisis has become one painful slow-motion train wreck. This week, it just got worse (as if that was even possible, but ineptitude and corruption always find a way confound even the worst skeptics).
Just last week, we learned that Public Health England (PHE) has been counting people who died of natural causes as “COVID deaths” simply because they had previously tested positive for the coronavirus at some point in the past (meaning you can’t ever ‘recover’ on paper). This is just one example of many administrative techniques used by governments to ‘cook the books’ in order to inflate their COVID numbers in order to drive increasingly aggressive emergency policies, masks and their vaccine agenda.
The real truth of the matter is that many more people already have died, and will continue suffer due to the government’s disastrous lockdown policies – many more than have ever (or will ever) die from COVID-19. This is no mere opinion, this is demonstrably true according to all available data.
What’s worse, the UK Government chose to ignore its own internal report from April which predicted massive deaths due to reactionary Lockdown policies. This can only mean we are witnessing a complete breakdown in competence and functioning of the apparatus of government.
In his piece entitled “The fatal cost of lockdown,” Rob Lyons from Spiked Online explains…

In short, perhaps 200,000 people or more could die as a result of the lockdown, according to these estimates.”
So while Boris Johnson’s government was so eager early on to heed Imperial College and Prof. Neil Ferguson’s ‘worst case scenario’ of 500,000 COVID deaths, these same government experts completely ignored what turned out to be accurate (if not completely underestimated) prediction of 200,000 deaths directly due to lockdown policies. What’s worse, the lockdown death total will continue to rise while the UK government continues to keep its NHS closed to regular patients, still running the pantomime of a ‘COVID only’ health service.
Conversely, author also warned about the government’s over reliance on computer modelling to provide an illusion of certainty of likely outcomes: “Moreover, these government estimates will have been produced using models, which must always be treated with caution. Not only are models based on a simplified version of how society works — they also make assumptions about fatality rates, speed of viral spread, the effectiveness of screening programmes for cancer and more that may or may not be particularly accurate.” After four months, it is now easy to so that there are many fatal flaws in how the government and health officials began handling the coronavirus crisis – mistakes that continue to this day, and which will no doubt continue to be compounded so long as officials fail to acknowledge their own gross errors from the onset.

21stcenturywire--2020-07-24--American Appeasement: Poll Finds 72% Support Mask Mandates Punishable by Fine or Jail Time

This new Politico/Morning Consult poll comes as more than half of U.S. State governments have issued mandatory mask requirements which they claim will somehow slow transmission of COVID .
Despite repeated claims in mainstream media that they have “ studies which show masks are effective in stopping the spread of coronavirus , ” in reality no such peer reviewed studies are available .
On the contrary , there is a preponderance of evidence which shows the opposite – that masks are not effective in stopping the spread of a microscopic coronavirus .
Still , the incessant barrage of media propaganda @ @ @ @ @ @ @ officials over-exaggerating the threat posed by this coronavirus has resulted in a gelded America – devoid of any Constitutional awareness and eager to comply with just about any diktat coming from the State .
A majority of Americans strongly support mask mandates that are punishable by fine or jail time if individuals refuse to wear face coverings in public , a new poll finds .
The Politico/Morning Consult poll found that 53 percent of registered voters who participated in the survey strongly supported statewide mask mandates that would fine or even jail individuals @ @ @ @ @ @ @ prevent the spread of COVID-19 .
When including voters who somewhat support such mask requirements , 72 percent of voters agreed .
Along party lines , 86 percent of Democrats polled strongly or somewhat supported such mandates , while 58 percent of Republicans and 68 percent of independents polled agreed .

The poll comes as a growing number of states have issued statewide mask mandates .

But is their latest decree really based on real science, or are they just making it up as they go along?

As mandatory mask orders continue to creep across the nation, a woman from the city of Springfield, Missouri, Rachel Shelton, went public with her plans to sue the city and its eight council members after their recent passage of an ordinance that requires residents to mask-up in public.
Shelton and her attorney, Kristi Fulnecky, a former city councilwoman, seek a temporary stoppage of the ordinance on the grounds that it violates Shelton’s constitutional rights – right to privacy under the Fourth Amendment and freedom of expression and religion under the First Amendment, the Springfield News-Leader reports:
“The police have better things to do than going in and trying to enforce this ordinance,” she said. “You have to have a compelling reason, and this is not a compelling reason.” “Your health is not my responsibility,” Shelton said. “Your emotional well-being is not my responsibility.”
According to the latest numbers reported out by the Springfield-Greene County COVID-19 Dashboard, the health department has confirmed 1007 cases out of 33,951 tests, for a positivity rate of 2.9%. There have been 9 confirmed deaths attributed to COVID-19, for a case fatality rate of 0.8%. There have been 61 hospitalizations, for a case hospitalization rate of 6% – out of a total area population of just under 300,000 people.
The health department does not make the ages of its reported ‘COVID-19’ deaths readily available on its website, however, the most recent death reported in Greene County was a man in his 80s with underlying health conditions. It was only the second death reported in the area for the month of July.
Updates:
Missouri court records have been updated to confirm that case #2031-CC00880 – Rachel Shelton v City of Springfield MO et al was filed in Greene County’s Circuit Court on July 22, 2020. The case was assigned to Judge Michael J. Cordonnier in Division I on July 27, 2020.
The case has since been re-assigned to multiple judges in the Circuit Court because they have all recused themselves.
On August 20, 2020, the case was removed to Federal Court, where Judge Douglas Harpool later rejected the plaintiff’s motion to temporarily suspend the mask ordinance.

The George Floyd saga has developed a potentially dangerous new turn .
This past weekend , the city of Louisville , Kentucky avoided a potentially deadly armed clash , as two opposing and heavily armed militia groups came within dozens of yards of each other after the latest politically-charged Black Lives Matter demonstration .
The weekend spillover demonstrations followed a Friday protest which saw 76 people being arrested after setting up an impromptu road block in downtown Market Street area .

Fortunately , tensions did not escalate and no shots were fired , but the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a “ shooting race war ” in America .
The exclusively Black militia were the radical leftist , Atlanta-based Black group known as the “ Not Fucking Around Coalition ” ( NFAC ) , and were approximately 300 strong and armed with AR-15 semi-automatic , sniper rifles and other assault weapons .

Protestors were also out to apply additional pressure on the Kentucky Attorney General’s office to further investigate and charge the officers involved in the killing of 26-year-old Breonna Taylor, an ER technician fatally shot by police in March.
‘Black Militia vs White Militia’
On Saturday, two opposing militias, both heavily armed, came dangerously close to confrontation in downtown Louisville when they were marching some 50 meters away of each of other.
Fortunately, tensions did not escalate and no shots were fired, but the potential clash did raise the specter of a “shooting race war” in America.
The exclusively Black militia were the radical leftist, Atlanta-based Black group known as the “Not Fucking Around Coalition” (NFAC), and were approximately 300 strong and armed with AR-15 semi-automatic, sniper rifles and other assault weapons.
Reuters described the paramilitary formation as follows:
Scores of the demonstrators, carrying semi-automatic rifles and shotguns and clad in black paramilitary gear, walked in formation to a fenced off intersection where they were separated by police from a smaller group of armed counter-protesters.
NFAC founder “Grandmaster Jay” had issued public demands for reparations from the US government, and that land be given, or one the US states be given as a ‘Black homeland’ and “New Black Nation” set within US borders, as compensation for slavery and historical suffering of Blacks.
"Grandmaster Jay" of the NFAC led the march. Media swarmed around him, and he asked that they give him room. When they didn't, he raised his rifle and said "I'm gonna shoot up in the air." The media backed off. pic.twitter.com/lf24Fcm6NK — Ford Fischer (@FordFischer) July 25, 2020
According to reports, the NFAC came dangerously close to intersecting with a much smaller group of 50, but heavily armed “Three Percenters,” comprised of White, politically right-wing and Second Amendment activist members.
Louisville Metropolitan Police intervened and formed a buffer between the two seemingly opposing groups, keeping them apart for the duration of the demonstration on Saturday.
Later in the day after the NFAC moved to a park square nearby, screams of panic could be heard from the crowd as loud gunshots rang out. It was believed that one NFAC member might have accidentally shot three of his fellow militia members.

According to police reports, the NFAC’s “highly trained former military” members may have shot each other by accident, after having trouble properly handling the semi-automatic weapons they were carrying.
Police later confirmed that three members of the NFAC were in fact shot when one of their fellow militia’s semi-automatic rifle accidentally discharged during their armed demonstration on the park green Saturday afternoon.
All three victims were said to be taken to the local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Japan is country and society in flux. With a massive declining birthrate, and a corporate culture which inhibits traditional family relationships, there seems to be no light at the end of the tunnel, despite numerous attempts by the government to stimulate male and female relations. This extreme corporate-led agenda has also led to a rise in suicides in big cities. Why are younger Japanese finding it so hard to achieve a work-life balance and to foster real sexual relationships? Add to this the increasing dependency on digital and virtual sexual experiences – and you have a potentially lethal mix in terms of a society and its traditional culture in terminal decline. Watch:

Nothing about the current lockdown hysteria makes any sense. The same could be said for how government and the mainstream media are reporting the actually coronavirus and COVID-19 disease. The numbers simply do not add up, nor does the the level of hysteria in relation to the actual threat to overall public health posed by the virus itself. Clearly, the ‘cure’ is already way worse than the disease. Can western society recover from this epic boondoggle?

Western hegemony and globalization appear to be approaching an impasse. This moment of change appears to have been accelerated by the government-engineered lockdowns amid the COVID crisis. How significant is this time in history compared to other major watershed moments of the last 100 years?
Will the world descend into melange of competing anarcho-states, something more akin to a ‘Game of Thrones’ world?

21stcenturywire--2020-07-25--Iranian FM on US Targeting Passenger Jet: ‘These Outlaws Must be Stopped’

A new video has sent shockwaves across the Middle East which shot on Thursday aboard a Mahan Airways flight 1152 from Tehran to Beirut , showing passengers panicking as oxygen masks fell from the cabin ceiling .
It is believed that a US F-15 fighter jet buzzed the Iranian passenger jet over Syrian airspace , causing the plane a plunge that left several injured .
Iran announced it will be filing a complaint to the UN Security Council , and the Iranian Civil Aviation Organization has announced its protest to International Civil Aviation Organization ( ICAO ) over shocking interception @ @ @ @ @ @ @ civil plane carrying Lebanese and other passengers in Syrian airspace .
The motivation of such a risky move has come into question by some who are comparing to similar past provocations by Israel where in 2018 the IDF had intentionally shadowed a Russian plane in order to trigger Syrian missile defenses and get Syria to shoot down a Russian aircraft over Latakia , or when Israel ’ s IDF used Syrian passenger airliner as cover to attack Damascus on Christmas Day in 2018 .
Once again , Washington ’ s precarious occupation and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Iran ’ s top diplomat pulled no punches while slamming the US for scrambling fighter jets to challenge an Iranian airliner flying over Syria .
The audacious move served to “ compound lawlessness , ” he said .
Mohammad Javad Zarif had some bold words for Washington , which said earlier in the day that the F-15 jet was sent in to carry out “ a visual inspection ” of the Mahan Air Airbus A310 .
It also said the flyby was to ensure the Iranian jet posed no danger to the American @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the southeastern part of Syria without Damascus ’ consent .
There were conflicting reports as to how many US jets took part in the encounter .
While the US Central Command says one F-15 had approached the Mahan Air plane , some Iranian media insist that two warplanes were maneuvering in close proximity to the passenger airliner .
“ The US illegally occupies territory of another State and then harasses a scheduled civil airliner – endangering innocent civilian passengers – ostensibly to protect its occupation forces , ” Zarif commented on Twitter @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Audacity to compound lawlessness upon lawlessness .
These outlaws must be stopped before disaster .
Other Iranian officials have also used similar language when giving their takes on the incident that saw the packed A310 rapidly changing altitude .

As the UK public struggles with the latest State diktat requiring “ face coverings ” in retails stores , business are facing the prospect of another blow to street trade .
Just as many local businesses were preparing for a comeback and hoping to capitalise on a positive second half of summer , the government has swooped in to crush their hopes with more draconian measures meant to “ fight the virus ” – even though COVID-19 has all but disappeared from hospitals nationwide .
Has government overplayed its hand again on managing this so-called ‘ pandemic ’ ?
Why @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the economy when the preponderance of evidence clearly shows that this coronavirus is not nearly as threatening as it was marketed as back in February and March ?
Peter Hitchens from the Mail on Sunday writes… The Government ’ s dedicated efforts to destroy our economy and an entire way of life have moved up a step .

21stcenturywire--2020-07-29--WHO Now Claims COVID ‘Not Seasonal’ and Will Be One Constant ‘Big Wave’

By now we all know that every revision of the ‘ pandemic ’ narrative is always followed by new policies .
So after months of promoting the idea that the public should be living in fear of a “ Second Wave ” of COVID19 , public health officials are attempting to revise the old script in order to keep the public on edge , and willing to accept rolling lockdowns and a supposed ‘ cure ’ in the form of a vaccine .
Earlier today , a spokesperson for the World Health Organization ( WHO ) , Dr Margaret Harris @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to admit that there is no evidence of a ‘ Second Wave ’ per say , but that COVID-19 will now be one long , continuous ‘ big wave.

The best thing is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ just something lapping at your feet.
” Her wild claims seem to go against clear , proven scientific trends recorded across the world which show that COVID-19 has all but disappeared in most countries .
In other worlds , the virus does appear to be seasonal .
The latest bizarre propaganda push by the United Nations WHO comes just a day after the spurious claim by British Prime Minister Boris Johnson who warned of yet another “ second wave ” of COVID , supposedly meant to be starting ‘ within a fortnight ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ such things is beyond anyone ’ s comprehension , unless there is a planned emergency in the the works .
What is now clear , is that WHO , along with governments like the US and UK and their mainstream media partners , are heavily invested in the idea of Coronavirus “ cases ” or “ infections ” as being the new trigger for declaring a rolling emergency and snap Lockdowns of cities and towns .
As there are no sign of any significant levels of death and hospitalizations , invested health officials @ @ @ @ @ @ @ away from deaths and ICUs , to “ positive tests ” – even though very few if any of these alleged “ cases ” is requiring any serious medical treatment .

By now we all know that every revision of the ‘pandemic’ narrative is always followed by new policies. So after months of promoting the idea that the public should be living in fear of a “Second Wave” of COVID19, public health officials are attempting to revise the old script in order to keep the public on edge, and willing to accept rolling lockdowns and a supposed ‘cure’ in the form of a vaccine.
Earlier today, a spokesperson for the World Health Organization (WHO), Dr Margaret Harris, took to the podium in Geneva to admit that there is no evidence of a ‘Second Wave’ per say, but that COVID-19 will now be one long, continuous ‘big wave.’
Speaking to Reuters, she said, “People are still thinking about seasons. What we all need to get our heads around is this is a new virus and…this one is behaving differently.”

The latest bizarre propaganda push by the United Nations WHO comes just a day after the spurious claim by British Prime Minister Boris Johnson who warned of yet another “second wave” of COVID, supposedly meant to be starting ‘within a fortnight’. How the British government could know such things is beyond anyone’s comprehension, unless there is a planned emergency in the the works.
“Cases” and “Test, Test, Test!”
What is now clear, is that WHO, along with governments like the US and UK and their mainstream media partners, are heavily invested in the idea of Coronavirus “cases” or “infections” as being the new trigger for declaring a rolling emergency and snap Lockdowns of cities and towns. As there are no sign of any significant levels of death and hospitalizations, invested health officials have decided to switch their propaganda program away from deaths and ICUs, to “positive tests” – even though very few if any of these alleged “cases” is requiring any serious medical treatment.
As many leading epidemiologists have said already, using “cases” as a metric of a COVID epidemic will be highly problematic and ultimately unreliable. Unfortunately, the government and media seem to be running with “cases” in order to perpetuate the perception of a ‘global pandemic.’
More likely, the reason for so many “cases” is the fact that mass-testing is underway which is picking up so many ‘positive’ tests. But how accurate is the testing regime for Coronavirus? According to multiple reports, medical experts are on record saying they have serious reservations about COVID-19 test accuracy across the testing spectrum.
Vaccine Motivation
All of this leads back to issue of vaccines. Tens of billions of dollars from US and UK governments and pharmaceutical corporations are currently being ploughed into the urgent roll-out of a coronavirus vaccine. Maintaining a ‘state of emergency’ is essential in order to create a public imperative for adopting the coming experimental vaccine. Certainly, the late push for mandatory masks can also be viewed as a prelude to vaccine roll-out.
Now painted into a corner by the media and their Big Pharma sponsors, politicians are all suddenly making the bold claim that this new vaccine will be both safe and effective, despite the fact that it usually takes 4 to 10 years to properly develop a workable vaccine – not 6 months. Normal standard research, testing and safety protocols have all been waved in order to rush to meet the “emergency.”

21stcenturywire--2020-07-29--Syria and Russia to Build ‘New Hagia Sophia’ in Hama Province

This latest joint move by Damascus and Moscow is a public relations coup , but it is also sure to draw the ire of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan .
The construction of this mini Hagia Sophia , taking place in the central province of Hama , will be assisted by Syria ’ s prominent ally Russia and will reportedly show the importance of “ peaceful dialogue ” between the major faiths .

This latest joint move by Damascus and Moscow is a public relations coup, but it is also sure to draw the ire of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.
Middle East Monitor reports…
The construction of this mini Hagia Sophia, taking place in the central province of Hama, will be assisted by Syria’s prominent ally Russia and will reportedly show the importance of “peaceful dialogue” between the major faiths.
According to the Lebanon-based news outlet Al-Modon, the idea for the building was initiated by a man named Nabeul Al-Abdullah, the head of a pro-regime loyalist militia within the province. After gaining the approval of the metropolitan bishop of the Greek Orthodox church in Hama, Nicolos Baalbaki, the plans were then presented to the Russian military within Syria.
The replica is to be built specifically in the Greek Orthodox-majority city of Al-Suqaylabiyah, on a piece of land donated by the militia leader Al-Abdullah; a Russian team within Latakia’s Hmeimim military base is reportedly already working on plans for the construction.
According to the Arabic-language newspaper Rai Al-Youm, Russian lawmaker Vitaly Milonov stated that Syria is the ideal location for the mini Hagia Sophia replica because “unlike Turkey, it is a country that clearly shows the possibility of peaceful and positive interfaith dialogue.”

21stcenturywire--2020-07-29--Quantum Anomalies: Does Cause Always Precede Effect?

Is reality really what it seems ?
Does cause always precede effect ?
Is it possible in the 21st century that quantum anomalies will make us rethink our traditional notion of reality ?
In recent years , there have been a number of startling discoveries in the field of quantum physics and mechanics .
One of the most startling developments came in 2017 when a quantum experiment conducted in space showed that reality is literally what you make it .
By bouncing photons off satellites , a team confirmed using ‘ delayed-choice ’ experiments , that something extraordinary may be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ which normally requires that cause precedes effect .
So far as and quantum theory goes , this is only the starting point .
Subsequent research also shows how we may be on the cusp of a whole new scientific paradigm .
Every generation tends to believe that its views on the nature of reality are either true or quite close to the truth .
We are no exception to this : although we know that the ideas of earlier generations were each time supplanted by those of a later one , we still @ @ @ @ @ @ @ right .
Our ancestors were naïve and superstitious , but we are objective—or so we tell ourselves .
We know that matter/energy , outside and independent of mind , is the fundamental stuff of nature , everything else being derived from it—or do we ?
In fact , studies have shown that there is an intimate relationship between the world we perceive and the conceptual categories encoded in the language we speak .
We don ’ t perceive a purely objective world out there , but one subliminally pre-partitioned and pre-interpreted according to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ color words in a given language shape human perception of color.
” A brain imaging study suggests that language processing areas are directly involved even in the simplest discriminations of basic colors .
Moreover , this kind of “ categorical perception is a phenomenon that has been reported not only for color , but for other perceptual continua , such as phonemes , musical tones and facial expressions.
” In an important sense , we see what our unexamined cultural categories teach us to see , which may help explain why every generation @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Allow me to elaborate .
The conceptual-ladenness of perception isn ’ t a new insight .
Back in 1957 , philosopher Owen Barfield wrote : “ I do not perceive any thing with my sense-organs alone.… Thus , I may say , loosely , that I ‘ hear a thrush singing.
’ But in strict truth all that I ever merely ‘ hear ’ —all that I ever hear simply by virtue of having ears—is sound .
When I ‘ hear a thrush singing , ’ I am hearing … with all @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , memory , imagination , feeling and … will.
” ( Saving the Appearances ) As argued by philosopher Thomas Kuhn in his book The Structure of Scientific Revolutions , science itself falls prey to this inherent subjectivity of perception .
Defining a “ paradigm ” as an “ implicit body of intertwined theoretical and methodological belief , ” he wrote : “ Something like a paradigm is prerequisite to perception itself .
What a man sees depends both upon what he looks at and also upon what his previous visual-conceptual experience has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ absence of such training there can only be , in William James ’ s phrase , ‘ a bloomin ’ buzzin ’ confusion.

No wonder then that we are so confident today that nature consists of arrangements of matter/energy outside and independent of mind .
Yet , as Kuhn pointed out , when enough “ anomalies ” —empirically undeniable @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the reigning belief system—accumulate over time and reach critical mass , paradigms change .
We may be close to one such a defining moment today , as an increasing body of evidence from quantum mechanics ( QM ) renders the current paradigm untenable .
Indeed , according to the current paradigm , the properties of an object should exist and have definite values even when the object is not being observed : the moon should exist and have whatever weight , shape , size and color it has even when nobody is looking @ @ @ @ @ @ @ act of observation should not change the values of these properties .
Operationally , all this is captured in the notion of “ non-contextuality ” : the outcome of an observation should not depend on the way other , separate but simultaneous observations are performed .
After all , what I perceive when I look at the night sky should not depend on the way other people look at the night sky along with me , for the properties of the night sky uncovered by my observation should not depend on theirs .

In recent years, there have been a number of startling discoveries in the field of quantum physics and mechanics. One of the most startling developments came in 2017 when a quantum experiment conducted in space showed that reality is literally what you make it. By bouncing photons off satellites, a team confirmed using ‘delayed-choice’ experiments, that something extraordinary may be happening at the boundary of relativity, which normally requires that cause precedes effect.
So far as and quantum theory goes, this is only the starting point.
Subsequent research also shows how we may be on the cusp of a whole new scientific paradigm.

Every generation tends to believe that its views on the nature of reality are either true or quite close to the truth. We are no exception to this: although we know that the ideas of earlier generations were each time supplanted by those of a later one, we still believe that this time we got it right. Our ancestors were naïve and superstitious, but we are objective—or so we tell ourselves. We know that matter/energy, outside and independent of mind, is the fundamental stuff of nature, everything else being derived from it—or do we?
In fact, studies have shown that there is an intimate relationship between the world we perceive and the conceptual categories encoded in the language we speak. We don’t perceive a purely objective world out there, but one subliminally pre-partitioned and pre-interpreted according to culture-bound categories. For instance, “color words in a given language shape human perception of color.” A brain imaging study suggests that language processing areas are directly involved even in the simplest discriminations of basic colors. Moreover, this kind of “categorical perception is a phenomenon that has been reported not only for color, but for other perceptual continua, such as phonemes, musical tones and facial expressions.” In an important sense, we see what our unexamined cultural categories teach us to see, which may help explain why every generation is so confident in their own worldview. Allow me to elaborate.
The conceptual-ladenness of perception isn’t a new insight. Back in 1957, philosopher Owen Barfield wrote:
“I do not perceive any thing with my sense-organs alone.… Thus, I may say, loosely, that I ‘hear a thrush singing.’ But in strict truth all that I ever merely ‘hear’—all that I ever hear simply by virtue of having ears—is sound. When I ‘hear a thrush singing,’ I am hearing … with all sorts of other things like mental habits, memory, imagination, feeling and … will.” (Saving the Appearances)
As argued by philosopher Thomas Kuhn in his book The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, science itself falls prey to this inherent subjectivity of perception. Defining a “paradigm” as an “implicit body of intertwined theoretical and methodological belief,” he wrote:
“Something like a paradigm is prerequisite to perception itself. What a man sees depends both upon what he looks at and also upon what his previous visual-conceptual experience has taught him to see. In the absence of such training there can only be, in William James’s phrase, ‘a bloomin’ buzzin’ confusion.’”
Hence, because we perceive and experiment on things and events partly defined by an implicit paradigm, these things and events tend to confirm, by construction, the paradigm. No wonder then that we are so confident today that nature consists of arrangements of matter/energy outside and independent of mind.
Yet, as Kuhn pointed out, when enough “anomalies”—empirically undeniable observations that cannot be accommodated by the reigning belief system—accumulate over time and reach critical mass, paradigms change. We may be close to one such a defining moment today, as an increasing body of evidence from quantum mechanics (QM) renders the current paradigm untenable.
Indeed, according to the current paradigm, the properties of an object should exist and have definite values even when the object is not being observed: the moon should exist and have whatever weight, shape, size and color it has even when nobody is looking at it. Moreover, a mere act of observation should not change the values of these properties. Operationally, all this is captured in the notion of “non-contextuality”: the outcome of an observation should not depend on the way other, separate but simultaneous observations are performed. After all, what I perceive when I look at the night sky should not depend on the way other people look at the night sky along with me, for the properties of the night sky uncovered by my observation should not depend on theirs.
The problem is that, according to QM, the outcome of an observation can depend on the way another, separate but simultaneous, observation is performed. This happens with so-called “quantum entanglement” and it contradicts the current paradigm in an important sense, as discussed above…
