The Mad Scientist Archetype
The Mad Scientist Archetype
For all of those Secularists and Atheists who can’t imagine how renouncing God and Religion could at all hurt the cause of Morality and Civilization, please refer to the most recent of our Culture’s Psychological Archetypes – the “Mad Scientist”. I suppose it might not be entirely new. While Catholic Civilization still held its sway in the West, there was the “Alchemist Archetype” – the Wizard of the Material Realm. Sometimes held suspect, as their quest for Gold was often interpreted for its Worldly Motives, but it was again often argued in their favor that it was Spiritual Gold, that is, the transformation of Carnality into Spirituality that they were truly working toward. I suppose there is always a continuum of motives in these such pursuits. But of the new Archetype – the Mad and Evil Scientist, we find no redeeming excuses or mitigations – they are just plain old BAD. Now, why is it that the Artistic Intuition so readily links the propensity toward Materialistic Science with an inclination toward Absolute Evil?
I’ve tried endlessly to explain in rational and dynamic terms why it is that a purely Scientific and Materialistic World View would of necessity drift away from any Moral Obligations. Yes, the Secularist can and does often make certain verbal assurances – empty tribute and lip service paid to Morality – like the United States speaking in favor of Human Rights. As long as it is just talk, there are no problems. But anytime Morality becomes inconvenient to the Materialist, suddenly they can find no solid reason why they can’t violate what had only been loose, casual, verbal constraints. As long as they don’t get caught. Again, the United States and Great Britain not knowing of any torture until photos and videos are shown on CNN. As long as photographic evidence never appears, the Anglo-Axis is completely Moral. They say they’ve introduced REFORMS, yes, they now forbid soldiers to carry about cameras.
And in the case where Scientific Materialists have State Sponsorship, then the damage their Evil can do is almost quite endless. Without Religion, these Intellects no longer build Great Cathedrals, but invent and assemble Nuclear World Destroying Weapons, and synthesize incurable population control diseases like HIV and AIDS. And it is not just physicists and chemists and such. The whole Rational Process seems to serve Evil. Look at Economists. They have decided that a Six Month Unemployment Rate of 5% which creates and maintains a real unemployment rate of 15 to 20% (as people who lose jobs in the six month period don’t often find another job in six months) is just perfect for keeping the Labor Class desperate and willing to work for subsistence wage, no benefits and little or no health care. It is the glib imposition of human suffering that does not even make them flinch. It is the Mad Scientist at work.
The Rational Mind every day discovering anew that its own Selfish Ends justify any conceivable means. And still we will hear about how Secularists are superior in morality to the Religious Civilizations. That is, until their own Destruction of the World finally shuts them up.
