After Seeing Trump's Social Media Post that is an Absolutely Bonkers AI Video in Which He Promotes a Magic ‘Med Bed’ That Can Cure Any Disease......I'm Certain That This Is Where The USA and Some of It's People Are Today and This Is Where We Heading To.......No Wonder There Has Been a 750% Increase Of Doctors and Scientists Exiling Themselves and Exiting Stage Left To Other Countries To Find More Scientific Friendly Atmospheres Where They Can Promote Science, Do Their Work, and HELP People................Carl Sagan Said This 30 Years Ago........... “I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time -- when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness... The dumbing down of American is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30 second sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance” ― Carl Sagan from The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark .

What Do “Medbed” Conspiracy Theorists Believe?

Proponents of the “medbed” conspiracy theory believe the government is hiding advanced healing technology to treat a variety of illnesses or diseases—a claim that has appealed to people suffering from chronic pain, The New York Times reported.

Key Background

The medbed conspiracy theory grew in recent years among splinter groups from the wider Qanon theory—a wild, thoroughly debunked conspiracy that posited the government was controlled by a “deep state” that trafficked children—which Trump has deliberately appealed to in his political campaigns. In the years since, several splinter groups have fixated on medbeds. One group, led by now-deceased Qanon influencer Michael “Negative 48” Protzman, believed the technology was being used to keep former President John F. Kennedy alive, the Daily Beast reported in 2022. Protzman, whose faction was sometimes described as a cult, died in 2023.~~From FORBES

 The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark by Carl Sagan

 

 

~~~~~~~~~~~

Carl Sagan's "Candle in the Dark" refers to scientific thinking as a vital tool for illuminating reality, countering the spread of pseudoscience and superstition. In his 1995 book The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark, Sagan warned that when critical faculties decline and people shun difficult truths, darkness gathers, and demons stir. The phrase "the candle flame gutters" symbolizes how our collective understanding and ability to discern truth can weaken in the face of fear, dogma, and uncritical acceptance of claims, leading to a return to superstition.
