An infernal situation

 

In his celebrated 1961 'military-industrial complex' speech President Eisenhower also warned of another mortal threat to the republic: "we must also be alert to the equal and opposite danger that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific-technological elite.” (1,2) That development, which has clearly been realized today, had been described years earlier by C.S. Lewis in his 1945 novel “That Hideous Strength” (3).

Drawling on “That Hideous Strength” and other writings by Lewis,  a book and video of the same name “The Magicians Twin”, was prepared by John G. West (4,5) which details the elements of C.S. Lewis's warning about our developing 'scientocracy' and the diabolical new threat it, enabled by modern technology, presents to our free society.

I recommend the video most highly - The Magician's Twin: C.S. Lewis and the Case against Scientism - YouTube .

I also recommend listening to yesterdays discussion between Populists firebrand Steve Bannon and left of center Forbes contributor Joel Kotkin (from 50 mins to 1 hour 15 (6)) . Mr Kotkins description of today's unprecedented concentration of wealth and power within our solidifying technocracy provides additional illumination on the new feudalism which will over take us unless strong measures are taken to derail it.
