Ep 1 | Control Freaks: The 'Scientific' Roots of Progressive Tyranny | History Pilot

How did unelected “experts” with their unwavering devotion to “science” rise to such power in American life? More than a century ago, an engineer named Frederick W. Taylor inspired progressive activists with a new concept he called “scientific management.” Future Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis took Taylor’s concept and married it with political power. Brandeis teamed up with President Woodrow Wilson and a powerful senator named Robert La Follette to give the nation an “expert” makeover that Americans were not asking for. This is the story of how a cult of expertise developed among progressives and how these “experts” took a sledgehammer to our constitutional system of government, with far-reaching consequences that still reverberate today.   Sponsors Jase Medical Being able to take your destiny in your own hands is something I believe in.  And it’s something that Jase Medical believes in, as well.  They’re a proud partner in bringing this together, and I’m happy to have them on board.

PreBorn At the dawn of the twentieth century, “experts” in the medical field were promoting eugenics - the systematic weeding out of undesirable human beings. Tragically, the brainchild of that historic evil is embedded in our society to this day.  It’s practiced every time an expecting mother walks into a clinic and allows a doctor – an “expert” – to destroy her unborn child.
