Social Justice: A Spiritual Perspective Tribe
spiritualsocialjustice.tribe.net/

The West is enthralled to the worldview of scientism, which marginalizes all values but capitalist consumerism. To counter scientism and ground progressive values, we must access intuitive spiritual knowledge, which reveals an ethical dimension at the heart of reality. But for us to ground progressivism, which is metaphysical movement not a political one. MA'AT A quest for a humane and equitable planetary culture.

Science and Spirit, and the dangers of scientism and the pressing need to counterbalance science with an intuitive and spiritual way of knowing.

"Scientism is the worldview held by a majority of people in the Western world that claims that all that ‘is’ and all that ‘can be known’ is verifiable or falsifiable through the scientific method, and that which cannot be so measured is simply opinion, belief, or fantasy. It cannot be known and sensibly talked about and hence should be relegated to the private sphere."

"…scientism has so deeply sunk into the consciousness of most people in the society who have ever undergone the ‘mind treatment’ that is dumped onto children by the public school systems and massively reinforced by the media, that by the time they are adults they swear loyalty to the dominant religion of scientism in their personal lives, their lives in the workplace or profession, and in their public statements about what they believe and profess."

"scientism is used by the globalized capitalist order to marginalize everything but self-interested consumerism, since after all values such as social justice, peace and love aren’t scientifically verifiable, so can only be matters of private opinion, not public knowledge."

Scientism: the practice of pseudo-science where personal, political, financial, and egotistic factors override the scientific method and the open, questioning attitude of true science to form a closed, institutionalized environment. It is characterized by a defensive and religiose atmosphere of paranoia toward new and well-supported challenges and understandings.

We define a follower of scientism as as a person with a closed, uncritical, unwarranted faith in the current establishment theories.

Mainstream science has a cadre of militant "true believers" that can be characterized as having adopted current or popular theories as a religion. These scientistic storm-troopers have taken upon themselves the mantle of crusaders against any effective heresy. They don't generally get exercised over just any crackpot challenge; it must present a perceived real threat to their faith.

The technical proficiency of the engineers that accomplish the space exploration missions is quite impressive, and that must be acknowledged. However, the results that come back from these probes often times almost elicit disbelief in the theoretical scientists that design the mission experiments and sensor equipment.
