Vehemently Suspect of Heresy

A] new consensus has emerged in the press… that truth isn’t a process of collective discovery, but an orthodoxy already known to an enlightened few whose job is to inform everyone else. – Bari Weiss Remember when scientific truth wasn’t just ignored or laughed at, but instead, we threw a bunch of leading scientists and philosophers and thinkers into prisons? Or just burned them at the stake for their heretical ideas. The basic reason wasn’t that the science or the thinking or the ideas themselves was “bad,” it was that it “explicitly contradicts in many places the sense of Holy Scripture.” History doesn’t really repeat itself per se, but it does rhyme. How is what is happening in the nation today any different from the inquisitions into Galileo and others? Answer: It’s not.
