For thousands of years the ruling classes have sought to control ideas and knowledge.  This was because a free-thinking enlightened society would pose problems of control for the ruling elite.  Knowledge and intellectual freedom has a way of empowering individuals and society.  Free thinking individuals tend to question their existence and their environment.  This is something that would be considered a nuisance for the ruling classes and history is littered with times of censorship from the ruling classes on the masses.  The catholic church would burn books, and heretics who tried introducing new ideas to society.  Galileo was jailed for promoting the idea that the sun was the center of the solar system rather than the earth.  The catholic church banned many books during and after the period of the enlightenment that promoted the idea of the freedom of man and the concept of republics and democracies.  Even today, knowledge and ideas are controlled through media and even in academia.   We live in a world where scientific truth takes a backseat to politics.  Scientific truth is manipulated or censored to protect the status quo.   The status quo that is being protected is the Newton-Darwinian view of the World.  The newton view is the view that we live in a material universe made up of separate atoms bumping into each other.  Since everything is separate, things can be reduced down to a simplified equation.  This is the Newtonian-reductionist view.  Having said that the body is considered to be like a machine made up of separate parts, if one part or one sequence is malfunctioning, this simply has to be replaced.  Or whole medical industry has been founded on this philosophy, as we over medicate to mask symptoms and deny the holistic aspects of the body while the pharmaceutical cartels profit from a drug addicted society. In a Newtonian reductionist world, spirit or energy do not exist.  We humans are no different from robots, we are just made up of a combination of chemicals.  Free will does not exist, God does not exist.  Genes are predetermined and we humans do not have much of a capacity to change our existence.  Contrary to what the status quo says, real science would tell us that we live in a holistic universe where everything is made up of energy even matter.  The Darwinian paradigm of science promotes an ape-view of man.  It promotes a universe in which evolution happens by random chance.  It promotes a scientific view that goes hand in hand the Aristotelian view of natural hierarchies.  The survival of the fittest view the promotes an idea that conflict best describes nature, and the fittest have the greatest chance of surviving.  Social Darwinism has justified the ruthless exploitation of other and greed as advancing evolution in our species.  The ruling classes have adopted this view and have continued to loot the people.  

The official story from academia is this, we evolved from the apes, human civilization started 6000 years ago in Mesopotamia, since than we have steadily advanced.  We live in a materialistic universe where spirit does not exist, nor God.  We are machines made up of chemicals.  Consciousness is an illusion and we do not have any free will - that is an illusion too.  Evolution is driven by the fit in society so it is beneficial if the fit exercise their will over others to help with the evolution of mankind. 

There has been lots of scientific discovery's that challenge the Newton-Darwinian paradigm, but mass censorship still exists in our academic institution.   Many scientists fear losing their jobs promoting new ideas or sharing their findings.  This is a climate of fear that has been developed over time.  This is because the elites are afraid of the truth.  They know that the truth will enlighten mankind threatening the power of the ruling classes. Any discovery that will empower us will be censored or buried.  This is what the scientific dictatorship has done with the blessing of the global elite.  The scientific dictatorship today are dogmatic ideologues with no interest in the truth, but aim to only protect the status quo and their positions of prestige in many renowned academic institution in the world.
