More False Ologies
Addendum to previous post
In my precious post, I only cited a few -ology scams. There are many, many more. Here are a few examples:
Bacteriology — astute reader Dr. Handler points out that antimicrobial resistance (AMR) caused by antibiotics will soon surpass cancer as the world's leading cause of death [1]. And once we're on that morbid scam-ology, we should add:
Oncology — a scam of epic proportions, oncology will never eradicate cancer. It perpetuates it.
Psychology and psychiatry — “We don't have an epidemic of mental illness. We have an epidemic of psychiatry.” — Dr. Thomas Szasz, professor of psychiatry [2]
Epidemiology — it's been replaced by scamdemicology.
Epistemology — most people are no longer capable of discerning theory [3] from fact. Critical thinking no longer exists. The public's perception of reality is based on factors that are neither empirical nor rational.
Theology — sadly, organized religion has been subverted [4], and so have most ideologies.
May G-d save us from all rogue ologies.

Thank you, Rabbi Green. I think that you spoke truths. Emes.

Isn't there a contradiction when you use the same credentials to discredit the profession?
