I may have first became interested in alternative epistemologies,
|
|
while first reading about Terrence Mckenna when I was younger.
|
|
|
|
From Godels Incompleteness Theorems, to the philosophy of science,
|
|
it seems even within the academic world of rationalism,
|
|
the way things work cannot be as singularly and precisely pinned down,
|
|
as some might have hoped.
|
|
|
|
An alternate title of this wiki could have been "Conspiracy Theory Research",
|
|
(I think the bogey man that conspiracy theorists are "the problem" is ironically its own form of conspiracy theory),
|
|
but to me "conspiracy" is in a way just the emotionally-dark genre
|
|
of the much larger field of all knowlede-making systems
|
|
which don't start with the assumption that what most people believe is true.

*Alternative Medicine*
|
|
|
|
This one is more meaningful to me, because I have more personal experience of how "alternative" medicine has cured
|
|
ailments in myself and my friends, and how many people I know are suffering from chronic illness and injury,
|
|
some of who I imagine might also be like me, whose conditions might not be inherent but actually caused by the illness-causing conditions of modern society.

Here is a tweet from 2017 back when I was still questioning if it was even possible to find the healing I was looking for,
|
|
and before I had first-hand experience.
|

|
Many people would consider me a covid-truther or conspiracy theorist,
|
|
— labels are not so important to me, but I do think the industrial medical paradigm is trash for a number of reasons.

Here is something I wrote about western medicine, vaccination, misinformation and non-holistic public health: <br/><br/>
