What is the anti-intellectual movement?

---

The anti-intellectual movement is not a conventional movement in which people protest the intellect. Rather, the anti-intellectual movement describes a trend away from the belief that the intellect can solve all problems. The anti-intellectual movement is also a shift from materialism toward cult philosophies that attribute deeper meaning to existence than materialism does.

A cult tends to give power to the leader or authority in that system of thought while also lacking scientific validation. Americans are prey to fake news and cults because so  many come out of our schools completely lacking independent thinking skills. We are a society taught to conform to authority and to get your information from an expert.

This is connected to authoritarianism. We want to be told what is true by an expert and so we look for credentials rather than judging information intellectually and intuitively.

 

 

If you are in the wrong paradigm you need independent thinking skills to realize your mistake.

A paradigm or way of thinking is anti-intellectual only if it has no rational basis in fact. Philosophies that do have a basis in fact and rational thought are not anti-intellectual.

 

How do we know what is true and what isn't?

NOVA CPTV: Matter is a State of Consciousness

Even NOVA and PBS recognize the beginnings of a new science.

 

According to Albert Einstein's colleague David Bohm, the mind projects the events we then perceive.

 

Had Einstein been successful defending Bohm, this scientific paradigm may have replaced materialism as our world's accepted science.

 

A good science

---

This is a good science that empowers the individual. There are possibilities for the human race beyond our current world problems.

We need to develop independent thinking skills in a world that is increasingly falling prey to disinformation.

The source of false information may come from a cult or accepted mainstream thinking. Independent thinking requires we are not source bias.

 

 

Einstein’s special theory of relativity and the findings of quantum mechanics, for example, support a new scientific paradigm — which grants deeper meaning and purpose to existence and being — explained here as new science or holographic reality. Those who believe this science and subscribe to the resulting paradigm, therefore, are not anti-intellectual.

What is the  origin of the intellectual movement?

---

For about two centuries beginning around 1750, the majority of people in America and the world believed that science could solve all problems. Because science is a product of the objective intellect, it was the intellect itself that was credited. The majority of people in the world believed that the scientific objective intellect could solve all problems.

The scientific intellect is the apex of the belief that science can solve all problems. Because the intellect is so closely associated with science, people are losing faith in the intellect and its ability to solve problems and find answers.

What is the anti-intellectual movement? Definition, origin, example and solution.

 

I consider the anti-intellectual movement to be a trend away from that belief that the intellect can be relied upon to solve all problems.

People are losing faith in the intellect because they are losing faith in science.

Around 1900 science told the world that it would liberate humanity from suffering. The scientific intellect was in effect, worshiped as the new human God replacing the God of religion.

Why are people losing faith in science?

Science promised the world that it would answer the bigger questions such as, what is the meaning of life? However, many feel that science or materialism did not deliver on that promise. A similar promise, although weaker, is being made to the younger generation. Scientists say that they will merge humans with artificial intelligence and technology to create a new kind of superior hybrid human. This promise is a distraction from the fact that science has not answered the bigger questions.

Increasing numbers of people that mostly grew up in the 20th century are losing faith in science because they believe that science did not answer the bigger questions. They see a world improved in some ways as a result of science, but people are not more content as a result of science and there are many problems that persist or have grown worse in the world that add to human pain and frustration.

Many see materialism as being anti-intellectual. Others see religion as anti-intellectual. So what is anti-intellectual (what is not based on sound fact), and what is not (not based on sound fact)? The scientists and majority of people who believe in materialism are not anti-intellectual. Being anti-intellectual is a willful act to rely on the rational aspect of human consciousness. It is preference for non-logical worldviews that are not grounded in science and fact.

Until we understand holographic reality we cannot understand that reality will reflect what we believe. This results in a situation in which we think we have scientific factual evidence supporting our worldview when in actuality we have a manifestation of what we believe, or a manifestation that is true only in a limited way. If we believe in linear time, for example, our mind will organize events into a sequence from past to present to future. We will compile evidence to show that certain past events create current conditions.

The only thing that exists in your reality is what you can perceive. If you attribute what you see to past events then the studies and evidence they produce will seem to prove that true because that is the reality you create. Your firm belief in time progression causes you to create evidence to support that false premise. If this sounds unlikely to you then you are fooled by your own projection. Einstein did not believe in time and Einstein was the most intellectual of all people.

 

 

Theory & Science of Consciousness

 

Origin of the problem clarified

Science itself is not causing the problem, classic physics and materialism are. Science has settled on the idea that the universe is mechanical and lacks deeper meaning, and this is driving the anti-intellectual movement.

To be more specific, the problem of anti-intellectualism is largely a result of scientists equating science with materialism. Materialism is a worldview. Science is a process that is meant to discover truth, and people know in their hearts that materialism is not the truth.

The idea that a machine of infinite complexity created itself is unthinkable absurdity!.

 

 

Nature & Characteristics of Consciousness

 

Science originally included metaphysics, or the study of the meaning of life. By the end of the 18th century, however, it had begun to be called “science” to distinguish it from other branches of philosophy. Science, philosophy and metaphysics are increasingly divided. This is a result of a fixation on the physical world and what can be proven physically using the scientific method. More and more significance is being given to the view that materialism is science.

This increasingly narrow view has resulted in a disconnect. The physical sciences, being based more on materialism are closed off from the science of physics that by necessity dismantles the physical sciences because it finds error in the main premise on which the physical sciences are based—the idea that the universe is physical in the narrowest of terms (rather than a product of perception as Einstein’s friend, David Bohm discovered.

 

EINSTEIN ON TIME

 

The problem of anti-intellectualism is most apparent in religion, but as I pointed out, the intellectual facility can be fooled. Only by understanding how we manifest what we believe can we break out of the illusion that what we believe is a fact. Until we understand holographic reality we are trapped by our own illusions. This applies whether we are anti-intellectual or not. However, an anti-intellectual person is less likely to read about holographic reality in order to give it the opportunity to prove to be rationally correct.

 

Holographic reality explains the division in politics and society

The evidence of materialism is a projection of the establishment's belief in materialism. To be intellectual rather than anti-intellectual requires that we use our intellect to look at the beliefs and theories of the most intellectual people in the world. Those individuals are not materialists, they are quantum physicists, and include Einstein, Bohm and others.

 

Materialists that do not use their intellect sufficiently, do not understand that what they believe is a holographic projection. Until they realize this, they are fooled by the holographic illusion.  The same applies to any belief system.

 

 

"The new paradigm explains why the new paradigm cannot be accepted; thus we have a paradox. Until acceptance occurs, acceptance cannot occur."

Early origins of the intellectual movement

When Martin Luther protest Church corruption, he paved the way for the Enlightenment. The Enlightenment in Europe was a movement away from the views of the Church of England. Its previously forced philosophy said that only through God and God’s blessings could human experience be improved. That changed, and when it did it was an intellectual movement. The trend was in the direction of the intellect as being the new savior of humanity. The intellect replaced the traditional God and denied the spiritual God.

The Enlightenment was embodied by the idea that man could improve the quality of life through his own efforts. Anti-intellectualism grew in America when the first European settlers evolved a work ethic as attached to the “American Dream” and often in an evangelical context.

Benjamin Franklin and George Washington espoused masculine ideals of the “self-made” man as opposed to enlightened intellectuals who were thought to be effeminate and ineffective.

Is the intellect the center of the self?

---

In the traditional mainstream worldview, the intellect, rather than the soul, sense of “I am,” or the emotional self is considered that actual self. This view is being questioned by many people in the world today. This trend also contributes to the so-called anti-intellectual movement.

Materialism denies deeper meaning that cults provide

Science represents the intellectual faculty and because science has failed to uphold what is felt to be true in the hearts of millions, there are many cults forming that reject reason and intellect itself. There is a world-wide anti-intellectual movement because science has failed us, and the old religions are turning back to religious fervor. Large segments of the population are rejecting reason itself and are basing their views on their prejudices and emotionally-held beliefs that are nothing more than ancient myths and tribal biases.

Had science accepted the implications of Einstein’s, Bohm’s and other physicist’s discoveries, materialism would have weakened. The definition of science would have broadened, and cults would not have formed. Terrorism, evangelism and radical far right thinking would not have expanded.

 

What is the definition of the anti-intellectual movement?

---

What is the definition of the anti-intellectual movement? The anti-intellectual movement can be defined as anti-rationalism or a trend leading away from reliance on reason, logic, and fact to balance or temper emotions, morals, values or any belief system that deviates from whatever is considered fact-based evidence.

To understand what the definition of the anti-intellectual movement is, we must look at its various forms, face or appearance it takes in social life and why.

A Pew Research Center 2015 statistic shows that about 25% of Americans attend white evangelical churches and 42% are creationists. Anti-intellectualism is an attractive option for those who feel a need to hold on to a religious view or fervently held beliefs, with little or no supporting evidence.

The anti-intellectual movement is not a rejection of science, it is the rejection of the materialistic paradigm and a reduced belief in the intellect as the primary agent of importance in life and reality. The anti-intellectual movement is not inherently a rejection of the scientific paradigm derived from Einstein’s relativity and quantum mechanics. Quantum mechanics assigns an origin to life as does religion and cults do, only in this case the meaning and origin of life and being is validated scientifically.

The intellect is thought to be the crowning glory of evolution. The intellect is considered to be a product of evolution and as such, the importance assigned to it by scientists is associated with a belief in evolution.

There is no evolution in the context of Einstein’s relativity, and according to Einstein himself in his later years. Things do not evolve; they change form through recreations that occur in a field of potential that is infinite.

 

 

 

The anti-intellectual movement is just a lot of people jumping ship. The ship is the belief that the intellect can guide humanity. Because science is a bunch of intellectuals and because science has failed to answer the big questions of the heart, the public has increasingly had enough of the intellect. The anti-intellectual movement is a movement away from seeing the scientific establishment as a central authority.

The anti-intellectual movement is a shift away for intellectual and rational thought in favor of a worldview based on fervor and/or unsupported theories. A civilization-wide belief system must be backed by science. We must be able to validate values (beliefs), or every manner of terrorist organization will make a claim to truth and demand obedience.

Why is the American experiment and democracy collapsing because of the anti-intellectual movement?

---

We see something like that happening now because the orthodox mechanistic paradigm is flawed, and as a result, politicians to extremists are taking advantage of that fact. An entire party in the US government is now a terrorist organization that uses public anti-intellectualism to destroy democracy. The assault on the Capitol of the US was no more intellectual than a medieval inquisition or Roman conquest.

 

 

The cause of division and conflict

An example of the intellectual movement

---

The uneducated segment of the population that voted for former US President Trump have anti-intellectual tendencies.

 

 

Evangelists that will only read the Bible and books that tell them how to interpret the Bible tend to belong to the anti-intellectual movement. People who believe in every manner of exotic conspiracy theory, or who join cults are a segment of the anti-intellectual movement.

People do not call themselves anti-intellectual, but they do give less credence to the intellect.  Things don’t always have to make sense for them to be ok with it. These people, however, are giving up on the principles of the Enlightenment that led to the industrial revolution and regressing to tribalism. America was founded on rational thought. The American experiment appears to be collapsing because of the anti-intellectual movement.

If the anti-intellectual movement were a fly, the holographic universe paradigm by Einstein’s friend, David Bohm is a fly swatter. The fact that we project our thoughts and beliefs into events causes people to see what they want to see. The new scientific paradigm of holographic reality, if understood, would decimate fake news and radical thought. As light dissolves a shadow, understanding vaporizes ignorance.

 

What is the cause of the anti-intellectual movement and the solution?

---

The true cause of the anti-intellectual movement is the bias of intellectuals. The solution is to have intellectuals take a better look at what Einstein’s special theory of relativity implies. We need to examine quantum mechanics and where the findings of quantum mechanics diverge from classic physics and household beliefs. In America and around the world people are no longer impressed by a scientific establishment that does not listen to its own leading physicists.

The bias that we see in politics is occurring among scientists, and this is the true cause of the anti-intellectual movement.

Anti-intellectualism is a political tool for radical terrorists in the Republican Party in America. It is their strategy for appealing to key voter segments.

Anti-intellectualism may be attractive who want to believe something, even with little, uncertain, or no supporting evidence.

Why did science overlook consciousness and the soul?

---

Science overlooked consciousness and the soul because early scientific instruments could not measure consciousness, or even the larger atomic particles we now know all about because of quantum physics. While utilizing the scientific method, physical evidence was compiled but not subjective evidence. The reason why subjective evidence was not compiled was because the scientific method was primarily a means to validate physical aspects of the universe with physical devices.

The ability of the scientific method to go beyond that which is physical did not occur until there were advances in scientific instruments in the beginning of the 19th century. This is the time when quantum physics discovered the subjective aspects of the universe. But by the time this discovery was made it was too late. Science as a whole had already formulated its paradigm of materialism which said that the universe consisted of physical elements alone.

Discoveries made by Einstein and a group of physicists have been ignored. The implications were so profound that science could not reverse its previous decision.

It was impossible to dismantle the materialistic paradigm because it had been accepted by the whole world. It quickly became a latticework of theories regarding every conceivable subject woven into the underlying principle of a materialistic substructure made out of solid bits of matter. Only later was it found out that solid bits of matter did not even exist.

The view of a particle universe was also hard to reject in the eyes of the public because it also seemed to make sense in light of normal human perception.

However, the truth came out that the universe was a holographic projection. The greatest physicist in the world discovered the truth. However, the scientific establishment could not assimilate the information. Nor could the general public accept the idea that the universe was basically a subjective projection of the five senses.

An EN book by our founder has been provided for those who are interested in the true science and scientific discoveries that were not announce to the world properly. The new scientific paradigm describes reality accurately. This science, coming from the world’s most celebrated physicists in the 19th century, is superior to the mystical science which the world had previously accepted and could not dispense with due to cognitive dissonance.

The holographic universe scientific paradigm should have displaced inaccurate materialism. The book written by EN’s founder is designed to be a unifying principle. If the science that was ignored previously is announcer properly and the public accepts the new unifying principle, humanity will advance to the next level and our divisions will dissolve.

Political and other problems caused by philosophical differences and extremist thinking will largely dissipate.

Spread the word and we can change the direction of civilization together.

How science evolved materialism

---

The history of science illustrates why unenlightened scientists, schools and media are not telling you the truth. 

To understand what happened, realize that modern science was created by the church of England in the 1500’s. Scientists set out to discover the nature of reality and meaning of life. They developed a system to ensure that they would not make the same mistake the church had made.

Science broke off from the church as a separate discipline to escape religious bias and fervor.

To prevent bias and emotionalism from twisting results, scientists developed the scientific method of ascertaining facts. The scientific method, however, was only able to ascertain physical things or physically-provable phenomena.

If the universe were a subjective manifestation, how would they know? The scientific method was useless to prove subjective phenomena!

Since scientists prided themselves on being objective, and because physical instruments prior to the advent of quantum physics could not validate subjective phenomena, facts collected around the central premise of a material universe composed of solid particles.

In this view, consciousness is believed to be a byproduct of the brain, and there is no soul. Science, however, did not prove there was no soul.

Quantum mechanics has since then proven many times over that materialism is incorrect. Both matter and consciousness are composed of electromagnetic energy.

What was settled upon

The mechanical view of reality that was settled upon became the basis of other fields of science.

Most fields of science have long ago accepted the mechanical picture, and they have been building their knowledge base on that assumption for a long time.

The full time-line and history of William Eastwood and his work

---

This is the most complete account on all five websites.

 

 

 

There are a lot of things that traditional science cannot explain that can be understood through the lens of Internal Science.

My literary agent in New York says that most people in the world today are unintelligent, and that only a sliver of intellectuals and professors are capable of understanding. I beg to differ. I explain Internal Science in ways people can understand.

Science that confirms personal spiritual experiences

---

Bohm and Eastwood both give us a paradigm that eliminates contradictions between science and personal human experience.

Our traditional science tells us that a person's purpose is no more than to procreate to ensure the survival of our species — but many people have spiritual experiences that reveal there is far more meaning and purpose to a person's life — interpreted through their belief system.

Bohm's / Eastwood's paradigm says we have an inner reality that forms this world and thus can include personal spiritual experiences and the possibility of thoughts creating reality — experiences which when interpreted through Bohm's science would make perfect sense.

Physicist David Bohm, — who Albert Einstein called “a kindred spirit,” and whose Ph.D. thesis — being top secret and classified — was awarded at the University of California at Berkeley by none other than Robert Oppenheimer — tells us that our reality is a holographic projection of the mind.

Bohm's science suggests an inner source reality, and the possibility of a multidimensional framework of existence in which our reality is grounded and created.

“Americans and people in all nations need to wake up from their sleep.”

— William Eastwood

 

 

Internal Science can unify the world against common threats, and it can protect us, but we must use it.

 

The United States Constitution is the best in the world. It was the first to set a new precedent by determining in law that all people in one nation are equal. The Altruism Code expands that concept to include all nations and codifies that principle.
