A lot of people miss the Inquisition: there was something about it - these medieval torture chambers and the great costumes and you got to see something of the world (at least the places where you could find decent heretics). Better still, inquisitors had the full support of medieval power, nobles, bishops and popes, for they could confiscate the lands and belongings of those who did not think along their lines. Waves of fear shook entire cities when an Inquisitor suddenly stopped and frowned. Because they could humiliate and destroy anyone who didn't agree with them. What modern profession can give you so much satisfaction today?
Answer: Amazingly, science! Not the real science, of course - modern day inquisitors wouldn't bother with that. No, the modern inquisitors prefer reductionist and mechanistic science. They still call themselves scientists, of course. Of course, they can't really communicate with real scientists, because they're the kind of people to attack all free-thinking people. But in return they get a lot of new friends from other areas - fundamentalist religion (the 'mother' of the Inquisition), philosophy, cognitive psychology, radical politics, sociology and economics - hey, this is going to be a great party!
In addition science is impressing - actually pseudoscience, but who knows the difference? - people immensely. It can obliterate an enemy with far greater authority than any other discipline. The label "unscientific" alone is sufficient in most cases.
And: Scientists are paid better (make more money) and are often preferred to other training courses, especially in those professions that are suitable for the new inquisitors: Inquisition medicine, Inquisition psychology or Inquisition engineering sciences. As a scientist, you also have the media on your side, at least the tabloids, of course. But the most ingenious thing is of course the fully automatic financial support from the federal state, military and business sectors. Yep, if you're looking for medieval economics in today's world, you definitely can't get past reductionist mechanistic science!
Many a person is already toying with the idea of becoming a Science Inquisitor themselves and will wonder how much fun this future job will really bring them. How much power will he have? How many people can you humiliate and degrade? How much misery can you spread? And - with so much strenuous work - how much money can you rip off for it? Here are the answers - in reverse order:
MONEY
----- Inquisition scientists rip off a lot of money! This does not include the money from lectures if you are good at rambling. Here - in addition to the fat fixed salaries - thousands of dollars can be raked in, for example from universities or institutes. Corporations will make irresistible offers to push their products: W.Greider describes in his book "Who will teach the people" how consultants pay hefty sums to those "scientists" who agree to use their "research" to demonstrate the effectiveness and to "prove" the harmlessness of toxic products to their clientele. No question, for the inquisitorial scientist the money is, so to speak, on the street.
MISERY
----- Here you can really choose! You can invent toxic industrial chemicals that endanger living conditions around the world. You can invent weapons, nuclear, biological and chemical bombs - and count on the military to buy (and use) them. Even against civilians! Or you can develop pesticides that don't harm the pests, but make people sick like dogs. Speaking of dogs: Of course you can mutilate some of the 20 million dogs, cats, rabbits and monkeys in completely unnecessary experiments for the military or cosmetics. And every year! You can invent dietary supplements and medicines that, though dangerous, ineffective and expensive, are certainly distributed by the pharmaceutical industry.
POWER AND CHICANE
------------------ In the service of Inquisitorial Worldview Science as an all-consuming omnivor who destroys everything but his own dogmas (...über alles, über alles in der Welt) - you can appear as a respected media expert, as a political analyst or as a consultant for corporations. Even more:
As a university lecturer, one can wonderfully bully future scientists by barely letting them pass an exam while stealing their intellectual property and publishing it yourself. If someone has their own/different opinion, you can always take them to court and wipe them out. All you need is a scientific report, which a willing Inquisitor colleague will certainly be happy to issue.
It's also ingenious as an inquisitor-historian to delete some real scientists from the history of science. For example Ernst Haeckel, Rudolf Steiner, Sigmund Freud, Wilhelm Reich or Nikola Tesla. Yes, that gives the Inquisitor-Scientist real and true satisfaction.
Of course, it also costs something if you want to become a new inquisitor. First of all, it costs free thinking. No big deal, of course, you don't want to be a real scientist after all. In any case, one mustn't make any thoughts of one's own, one must strictly adhere to the definitions of the experts, the so-called Grand Inquisitors. And you can only think what they think.
And of course one must not open oneself to any thinking to which the Grand Inquisitors have closed themselves. As a scientific inquisitor you are not allowed to step on any spiritual ground that the grand inquisitors have forbidden. And that goes for all scientific work done by real scientists. For example, when a real scientist like Rupert Sheldrake publishes a book entitled "The Creative Universe" dealing with morphogenetic fields in biology, you must strictly follow the instructions of the Grand Inquisitor in command! In this case, the editor of a major scientific journal, who seriously suggested burning the book. But when, on the other hand, a favorite of the Grand Inquisitor swears by several hundred pages of complete nonsense, then the book has to be applauded and praised to the skies.
One must never forget that we are dealing here with a religion of science (critics of science call it Scientism). While the rest of the idiots call for change, growth or development, it is the scientist's sacred mission to root out real science. Don't be fooled by Max Planck's twaddle that science is a journey. No, the inquisitor-scientist knows that science is not a journey, but rather a destination. And he achieved that goal! All he has to do is obey the Grand Inquisitor and believe whatever he claims to be true (oh and don't forget to kiss the Grand Inquisitor's feet every day, they love it!).
Of course, the problem with that is honesty. Most would-be inquisitors will have trouble feigning honesty. But don't panic, here's a simple four-step guide:
First, surrender yourself completely to the brainwashing of reductionist mechanistic Inquisition science.
Second, forget logic, instead just label whatever you say as "logical" until you believe it yourself.
Third: Destroy your feeling. Don't use that word at all (unless you're on a date). And fourth - and last - immediately stone any idea or person who thinks outside of your categories!
Discussions on public forums are good practice for aspiring inquisitors. Of course, you don't really discuss, but stay stuck in your own categories the whole time and simply flatten everything that the others say. If others find your behavior negative, you simply ignore their criticism. Of course, virtual forums also make it easier to belittle others. It is immensely important for the future Inquisitor to belittle all other humans!
If someone has a school degree below your own, it is of course easier, these subjects are not even recognized as human beings. Did I mention that all Inquisitors must have a college degree? Definitely, you can't do without it! Although this may require real intellectual effort, one should not hesitate here. Most colleges have specialized in reductionist mechanistic inquisition dogmas. All you need is a reasonably good memory and the willingness to kiss the feet of the Grand Inquisitors devotedly.
Okay, let's say you graduate from college and the force is with you! Then get out there and follow someone. It doesn't matter who. You can start with your own children. If they discover alternative worlds through independent thinking and their very own imagination, finish them off! They are only small and weak and will not be able to harm you. But perhaps one day there will be powerful inquisitors who will bear your name long after you have died.
Speaking of death. Death is a good subject. The Mechanistic Inquisition firmly believes that death is the absolute end of life. Make it clear to your children as early as possible that this is "scientifically proven," even though you can't really imagine how anyone could ever prove an absolute end of anything.
Another important Inquisitor dogma is that the mind is limited only to the brain. In fact, this reductionism is key to any scientific inquisitor thinking, so this dogma should apply to everything:
Reduce all thoughts to electro-chemical processes in the brain. Reduce all human feelings to chemical processes in the body. Reduce all free will to avoidance strategies for pain and focus on pleasure gain (be sure to put on a straight face here - remember, you are challenging theologians and philosophers with your sayings - and they are well known as serious types). Reduce all paranormal phenomena to fraud and deception or Inquisitor-defined "explainable" events, turning UFOs into swamps, extraterrestrial beings into crash-test dummies, near-death experiences into drug-induced hallucinations, and every psychic into a charlatan.
Of course it's reductionism - but isn't that cool? You make the world so small that you are the biggest fish in it!
Whenever you decide to exercise your dominion over others, keep in mind the two most important goals of the Inquisitor:
(1) Close your own mind completely and
(2) seek and destroy anyone outside of your inquisitor dogma!
Your mantra must be: All thinking is dangerous unless it is within the Inquisitor mind!
That's pretty much it - your tracking methods must be sharp and precise at all times, your best and sharpest weapon here is "evidence". No, you beginners, of course you don't have to prove everything! Evidence and beauty are purely a matter of opinion. Everything may or may not be proven, so don't worry about that.
But you must constantly talk about evidence and demand it from others. Keep reminding people that this and that is proven, or at least the opposite is proven - whether that's true or not doesn't matter. And if the Inquisitors' hate list - real scientific advances, metaphysics, religion, parapsychology - runs out for you, then get on with the rest (there's politics, after all).
Oh, and one more thing, there will certainly be people who will call you heartless, boring and narrow minded. However, since most of them will be the very subjects that need to be eliminated, they don't count. A few of them will probably even be neutral, possibly from your family or circle of friends. They may go so far as to require you to (duh!) change.
If that were to happen, then you know how Julius Caesar felt in that play (you know who's). Brutuses everywhere! Yes, that may hurt what little of your leftover non-Inquisitor-controlled feelings. But believe it or not, some people just can't fathom what a valuable service such an Inquisitor renders to humanity! So arm yourselves with your power, your prestige, your money, and the thought that humanity is an ungrateful scumbag of primitive, electrochemically controlled, dumb cells.
(Heh! Wouldn't that be a new idea? A new drug that induces gratitude for the Inquisitor in the brain! Anyone interested in patent rights?)
