Malthusian cultists playing Gd and only because they have money. Money and power. Those are their false Gods.

Describing the current madness as a “war on reality” (CJ Hopkins) is an interesting perspective. It is another way of saying that almost everything we are told these days is a lie.

I still swither on whether the people who are herding us towards their brave new world are mad or bad (or just useful idiots in the case of the supporting lower-level functionaries). Maybe a bit of both. They may have managed to inherit very large fortunes or to reach the top of their own niche greasy poles but most of them appear to be crackpots based on their public pronouncements.

The alchemy parallel is also interesting. The original alchemists had no science to follow. The modern alchemists may say they are following the science but real science doesn’t work in their cherry-picked way. Does that mean they are mad or are they just guileful, i.e. bad? My default assumption is the latter.
