Fools or Frauds?

Admin1: Are Doctors of Alphysics fools or frauds?

Dr. Gravytee: My dear friend, it is not as black and white as fools and frauds. As human being we have two options: Earn a living as a laborer. Or earn a living as a professional. Which one do you think is easier?

A1: Earning money as a professional is easier and professionals make more money.

Dr. G: John Adams didn't want to go to Harvard as his father told him to do. Then his father let him work on the farm for a while. He lasted three days and soon started running toward Harvard yard. Lesson?

A1: If you can, be a professional.

Dr. G: Scholastic Doctors have been the only professionals in Europe for millennia. If you wanted to avoid hard labor you tried to become a Doctor. When regular folks realized what ugly parasites Doctors of Theology have been, what did Doctors of Theology do?

A1: They changed their name and they become Doctors of Philosophy.

Dr. G: Exactly. In the nineteenth century philosophy too started to reek scholasticism and we quickly redefined our profession as alphysics.

A1: Fine. But are you folks fools or frauds?

Dr. G: Foolish frauds maybe. Frauds despite ourselves. Once you enter the profession and taste the easy life then it is easy to accept the scholastic religion called Newtonism. Once you accept it then you become a fraud perpetuating Newtonian religion as true science. The old story of selling your soul. Doctors become Newtonian fanatics and start abusing their authority.

A1: Is this why Doctors of Alphysics hate history and never read history?

Dr. G: Reading history can be bad for your Newtonian conscious.

A1: So you are not even fools?

Dr. G: We are. Doctors are fools. They are fooled by their own absolute belief in Newton's authority. That's why they see things where there are no things. Remember how scholastic doctors of the previous era looked through Galileo's telescope and saw nothing.

A1: That's understandable. It takes practice to see things with a telescope. I remember it took me a while to become an experienced observer.

Dr. G: True. Those doctors can be excused for not being able to see what Galileo saw. But today's Doctors of Alphysics see things where there is nothing.

A1: Like what?

Dr. G: A doctor will look at a falling stone and will see Newton's Soul emanating from the earth pulling the stone. A Doctor of Alphysics will look at 1/rr and see GMm/rr. Therefore doctors have a miraculous vision which are denied to civilians.

A1: Can this be called fools vision?

Dr. G: If you like to call it that, be my guest.
