Great stuff man like always,

Can't agree more! On your point of:
There are those who believe that the ultimate source of truth is the scientific community (since there is nothing that is the science) or the experts, but in reality what they express is also opinions, and as such, they are susceptible to errors.

Yes, this is very true! But I wont write it all off to error. Perhaps purposeful error, maybe... But science mostly describe or is manipulated to describe what a specific group wants the outcome to be. If the experiment does not show what they want it to they change the results or they just do not pursue the experiment further. There are a lot of examples of this and to be free from this illusion that science is the holy grail of truth one must first destroy this dogma. Science is used as a tool to control you, it is really that simple.

I wrote a small piece a while back and I've been looking for it for the past few months and decided when reading this post I will dig it up. Here it is and is relevant to my above statement.

In the past the elite used religion as one of the greatest forms of control. People believed without question. They swayed the masses through the church in the direction they wanted.

Today the same tactic is used but religion is slowly being exchanged for science and priests for scientists.

Here I'll list some examples for you. I know it is a lot but it meant a lot to me:

Yeah right, I also have the impression that science is being used as a modern religion. Science is definitely not the holy grail of truth, and there are many power groups who want to push their own narratives labeled "scientific" to be sold as absolute truth.

Critical thinking is the cure for those who believe that the truth is only in science.

Exactly
