Unshackling science from limiting logic

Founder of Canadian Patriot Review Matthew Ehret interviewed by The Light

- by RICHARD HOUSE

Richard House [RH]: Matt, your recent book Science Unshackled implies in its title that today’s science is somehow shackled. Can you describe what’s being shackled, and what the shackles are?

Matthew Ehret [ME]: What’s been shackled is the substance of science itself. By that, I mean the creative powers of human thinking that, when awoken in any healthy individual, express the power of breaking free of the useful, but intrinsically limited framework of deductive and inductive logic through a power of passion, and instinct towards looking through the mind’s eye for paradoxes/ironies. Those paradoxes/ironies occur in a specific universal form when theorem lattices bounded by certain specific axioms and postulates are tested against empirical reality. When this happens, all flawed theorem lattices will reveal discrepancies.

To the degree that there are more systemic discrepancies, the healthy-minded scientists (like a Da Vinci, Kepler, Leibniz or Weber, to name a few) will not run away, but will rather embrace the reality of those cognitive dissonances. In so doing, a natural internal dialectical process of the subjective self-inquiry and external objective inquiry into reality may take place.
