PRINCIPIA SCIENTIFICA

See https://principia-scientific.com

This website represents an incredibly important initiative, reasserting the values that SHOULD be informing all scientific endeavour and are being subverted across the globe, particularly in the entirely falsifiable science we are being told we have to follow in the COVID era.

Read this:

‘(Karl) Popper accordingly rejects the view that induction is the characteristic method of scientific investigation and inference, substituting falsifiability in its place. It is easy, he argues, to obtain evidence in favour of virtually any theory, and he consequently holds that such “corroboration”, as he terms it, should count scientifically only if it is the positive result of a genuinely “risky” prediction, which might conceivably have been false. In a critical sense, Popper’s theory of demarcation is based upon his perception of the asymmetry which, at the level of logic, holds between verification and falsification: it is logically impossible to verify a universal proposition by reference to experience....but a single genuine counter-instance falsifies the corresponding universal law. In a word, an exception, far from “proving” a rule, conclusively refutes it.’

 An understanding of the principles articulated here will make you see how the scientific method as identified by Karl Popper has been co-opted by governments and corporations for nefarious purposes and is NOT BEING ADHERED TO.

Consequently when we are told we have to FOLLOW THE SCIENCE concerning COVID vaccines the science we are being told we have to follow is NOT SCIENCE. It is JUNK SCIENCE that has nothing to do with the scientific method.

EVERY SINGLE INDIVIDUAL THAT DIES OR IS INJURED FROM A COVID VACCINE PROVES CONCLUSIVELY THE VACCINES ARE NOT SAFE

CORE VALUES, MISSION STATEMENT & PROM

OF PRINCIPIA SCIENTIFIC INTERNATIONAL

Principia Scientific International (PSI) is the only independent science body in the world that is legally incorporated to champion the traditional scientific method, as set out in the work of Karl Popper.

According to Karl Popper, one of the most influential philosophers of science in the past millennium,

“In so far as a scientific statement speaks about reality, it must be falsifiable; and in so far as it is not falsifiable, it does not speak about reality.”

Here we detail our core values. PSI is pioneering a new approach to scientific peer review: Peer Review in Open Media (‘PROM’). Our senior team have incorporated many of the ideas of Karl Popper in our Mission Statement.

1. PSI CORE VALUES:

Principia Scientific International is a self-sustaining community of impartial scientists from around the world deliberating, debating and publishing cutting-edge thinking on a range of issues without a preconceived idea of outcomes.

PSI has identified that there are currently two opposing methodologies at conflict:

1 TRADITIONAL SCIENTIFIC METHOD:

born of the Age of Enlightenment and which gave rise to the technological advances of the industrial revolution.

2 POST-NORMALISM

pre-deterministic approach where policy and outcome dictate the kind of ‘science’ needed to justify it. Perceived as the most culpable purveyors of this modern malaise are national governments, NGO’s and big corporations.

PSI ASSOCIATES are steadfast in their support of the traditional scientific method as encapsulated  in the ideas of Karl Popper. PSI opposes post-normalism and endeavors to provide society with an antidote (from the Greek αντιδιδοναι antididonai, “given against”) to the seemingly gargantuan and pervasive rise of post-normal science by way of our publishing, educational and media-focused materials and presentations.

For, as Karl Popper advocated, any hypothesis that does not make testable predictions is simply not science. Such a hypothesis may be useful or valuable, but it cannot be said to be science.

(Wikipedia excerpt) In Popper’s view, the advance of scientific knowledge is an evolutionary process characterized by his formula:

PS_1 rightarrow TT_1 rightarrow EE_1 rightarrow PS_2. ,

In response to a given problem situation (PS_1), a number of competing conjectures, or tentative theories (TT), are systematically subjected to the most rigorous attempts at falsification possible. This process, error elimination (EE), performs a similar function for science that natural selection performs for biological evolution. Theories that better survive the process of refutation are not more true, but rather, more “fit”—in other words, more applicable to the problem situation at hand (PS_1). Consequently, just as a species’ biological fitness does not ensure continued survival, neither does rigorous testing protect a scientific theory from refutation in the future. Yet, as it appears that the engine of biological evolution has produced, over time, adaptive traits equipped to deal with more and more complex problems of survival, likewise, the evolution of theories through the scientific method may, in Popper’s view, reflect a certain type of progress: toward more and more interesting problems (PS_2). For Popper, it is in the interplay between the tentative theories (conjectures) and error elimination (refutation) that scientific knowledge advances toward greater and greater problems; in a process very much akin to the interplay between genetic variation and natural selection. (End of Wikipedia excerpt)

So where does the ‘untruth’ of post-normal scientist take us? Here is a clue:

“Self-evidently dangerous climate change will not emerge from a normal scientific process of truth seeking, although science will gain some insights into the question if it recognises the socially contingent dimensions of a post-normal science. But to proffer such insights, scientists – and politicians – must trade (normal) truth for influence.” — Mike Hulme, British Climate Scientist.

2. PSI MISSION STATEMENT:

Principia Scientific International strives to:

Be the leading independent voice for principled science as per the Traditional Scientific Method (TSM) and associated ideas of Popper;

Be an authoritative source of information for the advancement of new scientific ideas and the raising of standards in science for the benefit of the broader international community;

Publish books, periodicals, give lectures and media interviews as part of our diverse program of support for encouraging the application of the principles of ESM in the community;

Collaborate with national scientific societies and policymakers for the advancement of science, science education and the science community;

Cooperate with international science societies to promote transparent, verifiable methods and ethical scientific practice (as per the ESM), to enhance openness and accountability in research and to foster international collaboration;

Champion the pioneering method of peer-review in open media (PROM) and promote this process as the gold standard for assessing the merits of new scientific research.

3. HOW THE PROM PROCESS WORKS:

Peer-review in open media (or PROM peer-review) works by seeking to engage outside independent third party input into the peer-review process and does not hide reviewers’ names or comments from public view. This is achieved by publishing a draft proposal of a submitted science paper onto our website. This is normally done after a preliminary internal review by our reviewing team to ensure elementary due diligence.

Then the submitted paper shall appear on the PSI website in the form of a PROM draft paper inviting comments from our list of select readers (PSI members notified by email), as well as (on select occasions) by way of a press release statement.

The paper will be open to public review as a PROM PAPER for a period of not less than one month. Upon feedback received after public review the PSI internal reviewers will re-assess the paper taking into account any received comments they believe are valid. They will then recommend, and PSI shall authorize, either publication of the paper in full with the PSI full seal of approval; or we will suggest revisions so that the author may make appropriate amendments. At this stage PSI will then either publish in full or advise re-submission of the paper into the PROM system, at the discretion of PSI, to repeat the PROM review process.

The significance of this is that:

AS CURRENTLY CONSTITUTED PEER REVIEW IS THE PRIME MEANS BY WHICH JUNK SCIENCE IS CONTINUOUSLY CORROBORATED AND ALLOWED TO PERTAIN

By opening the process out to external review and appraisal the revolving door of vested interests is broken.
