New Scientific Manifesto


Nature knows no pause in progress and development, and attaches her curse on all inaction.

—Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

A science that is mute about its own ideals is a science that assists in war and imperialism. A science that has no place for humanity is a science that serves the abuse of humanity. A science that is silent about deception, manipulation, and exploitation is a science that is divorced from reality.

If science’s goal is Truth, then science must be an active voice against ignorance. It must be an engaged social agent against all propaganda, ethnocentrism, nationalism, political and industrial deception and economic colonialism, not just a timid backdrop to somehow lesser human ideals.

The ideals of science are to be its cornerstone for they are the ideals of humanity—real natural forces: that which produces science.

The new science is to be a servant of Truth, Life, and Freedom, not the other way around. It is to combat deception and ignorance on all fronts. First and foremost in itself, and then in the social, political, economic, educational, legislative, cultural, and journalistic arenas.

The new science is to be a voice of Truth, Unity, and Justice, lest it remain an emasculated science, a lame philosophy, a knowledge that is mute, deaf, and blind with no concept of Life or reality, and therefore irrelevant.
