Science of Physics Is Congruent with Fascism
?
The science of physics lines up quite well with fascism. The doctrine of physicalism with metaphysics of physical closure denies freewill exists. Fascism is the antithesis of human freedom. If you accept doctrine of physicalism, it is quite coherent to declare that fascism is a natural (some would even say inevitable) form of government, the form of government most congruent with laws of physics, because it is well known that laws of physics are inviolable.

What could the word freedom even mean if freewill does not exist (as physicists insist is true), other than delusion?

“Shut up and calculate” one of the most popular mantras among physicists, ranking right up there with “particles made me do it,” feels rather fascist, don’t you think? Fortunately, most physicists are not actually fascists, they simply know not what they do (ignorance) by denying freewill. The problem isn’t the science of physics, the problem is the doctrine of physicalism including the false metaphysical assumption physical closure. Unfortunately, almost all professional physicists are physicalists. Physics (the name of the science) says it all.

Sort of like a greedy capitalist, “…keep pushing those buttons and feed that material into the assembly line, and don’t even think about taking another bathroom break. And don’t expect any overtime pay either. Just be thankful I gave you a job at all.” Fortunately, there are some capitalists that are not greedy. There is nothing wrong with capitalism if we don’t turn everything over to the set of greedy capitalist fascists.

According to Italian physicist Carlo Rovelli (Helgoland) quantum mechanics permits alternate facts. Fascism thrives on lies. Former president Donald Trump loves alternate facts.

“Is it possible that a fact might be real with respect to you and not real with respect to me? Quantum theory, I believe, is the discovery that the answer is yes…no universal set of facts exists.” Carlo Rovelli[1]

Nevertheless, physical closure is consensus physics, and even most philosophers have bent the knee. Many intelligent people also agree. On the other hand, anyone with common sense objects. People with common sense make up a global army fighting for democracy. There are lots of very confused people fighting for fascism. That sad violence makes up a significant part of human history.

Trump is bad-wrong. Trump is a dump (ster) fire. The USA presidential election November 5, 2024 will put out that fire.

The doctrine of physicalism is wrong.

Remember WWI and WWII! Freedom is worth fighting for. Freedom is worth dying for.

Direct experience knowledge is simple, but as soon as you bestow meaning, everything becomes complicated. Freewill is complicated and messy. The spiritual challenge is how to retain freewill but keep everything naturally simple. One existentially-dangerous-pretend solution is fascism, e.g., someone else is given the power to tell everyone else what to do and what not to do. Fascism falsely promises, if you give up freewill, all your problems will go away, and surely if all your problems get solved, that will be happiness. Fascism is easy, definitely not simple, but freewill must be defended, sometimes at risk of violent death.

Resist fascism. Vote blue up and down the ballot on November 5. Defeat every republican on the ballot. Give democracy another breath of life.
