Rupert gave a talk entitled The Science Delusion at TEDx Whitechapel, Jan 12, 2013. The theme for the night was Visions for Transition: Challenging existing paradigms and redefining values (for a more beautiful world). In response to protests from two materialists in the US, the talk was taken out of circulation by TED, relegated to a corner of their website and stamped with a warning label.

The phrase "It's science." Has become its own iron clad explanation. This is ironically used to stop people from questioning things. The antithesis of science.

The use of science as a weapon to prevent inquiry has always struck me as the most back-asswards bastardization of a system for the sake of securing both funds and egos that Iāve ever seen.

"Give us one free miracle and we will figure out the rest"
Thats a good one tbh š

It's important to remember in science that you shouldn't just ask "why" but also "what-if"

Remember: Science as a method and science as an institution are two very different things. At some point, I'm going to make a video on this very topic, explaining in detail why that is so.

I'm not on board with his hypotheses, but he is asking the right questions. That's the whole point of science: question everything.

What it boils down to is ādonāt stop questioning the universeā. We know enough now to know that we donāt know anything.

Science is not our deity, it is our collective knowledge of tangible things that we can presently perceive. It is an excellent tool for our prosperity, when accurate, but it is only ever a tool.

EVERY time someone says you canāt question something, theyāre probably trying to protect their own power and not let you threaten it.

That a Ted Talk questioning scientific dogma is itself banned is a great indicator of the existence of scientific dogma

Science needs paradigms to move forward. Those paradigms simply are guidelines to help us explore the universe in a systematic, repeatable, and verifiable fashion. However, all paradigms will at some point be replaced by others as our understanding of the universe deepens. It certianly does not mean that science isn't reliable. On the contrary, science's ability to question paradigms and force "paradigm shifts" is the very reason why it is the most reliable exploratory method we have.

I get why it was banned, i still appreciate the gist of it. We should have an openminded yet rational approach towards everything. It is what science is after all

Whether or not I agree with his personal theories, I absolutely appreciate the ability to listen and consider new perspectives

In my experience in college and having to work in departments that call themselves a science, I have personally experienced that academics are some of the most closed minded and dogmatic individuals who are so disconnected from the world and other people within it, and are so certain that they know the answer to everything, despite the scientific method being a philosophical method of enquiry, discovery, but not certainty

The problem is that the "dogmas" he mentions are just the most plausible explanations we have for various problems. The conservation of energy (and matter), for example, is just based on the fact that we haven't found any situation that breaks this rule, so we assume it is universal. Another example is the brain: if it is damaged you can lose memory, so it is logical to think that memory is stored in there. Why the hell should we assume otherwise?
In the end, we make assumptions based on the informations that we have, it's not like someone randomly made these up.

Questioning our scientific understanding is perfectly healthy but there is a fine line between questioning normally and questioning too much to the point where we have no common ground to understand new ideas

As a STEM graduate, one of the first things i was taught was to never take a fact at face value without first looking at the evidence and the methods by which it was gathered.
Sadly many scientists prefer not to do that.

I'd like to see examples for each time he says "in fact there's a great deal of evidence" or similar phrases.

Talking to metrologists about gravitational constant was either negligence or malpractice on his side. They're called metrology engineers for a reason. They don't really deal with theories or question them. They implement theories already proven to work at some level of abstraction.
And I've never seen a scientist saying that telepathy is impossible. Just that they've not verifiably witnessed such event yet.

I recently met with Rupert in London in order to revive this banned Ted Talk from 10 years ago. We were initially going to re-record this presentation, but in the end, we decided that the original censored Ted Talk was more powerful. Please comment & share this video.
