‘Appeal to Authority’ is not going away anytime soon. We all know a cultist who refused to think because “you’re not an immunologist”. We also know that getting such people to reflect on the ‘appeal to authority fallacy’ fails at the first syllable. We who would draw attention to or resist the global regression of civilization into techno feudalism are therefore at a severe disadvantage, as there are precious few ‘authorities’ who are not actively enslaving us, killing us, or worse.
If you cannot beat them, join them.
Corruptology
I therefore propose an entirely new field of expertise - Corruptology
In the short term, we shall kickstart a full qualification in Corruptology. Graduates receive a PHD for studying subjects such as:
Basic Cognition
Basic Common Sense
Basic Humanity
Basic Honesty
Basic Deduction
Why silence cannot solve corruption
“Any person who does something that causes or could cause a public official to behave dishonestly or show bias in the exercise of their official functions, powers or duties, could be engaging in corrupt conduct”
Recognition of prior learning is available. Many graduates have not even set foot on campus, but graduated with honours by answering questions such as
“Was the pandemic Real?”
or “Are Human Rights intrinsic?”
or “Is any government on earth legally allowed to murder citizens?”
Long Term
We will use the U.N. model for our long term goals. We will know we have achieved them when we are able to commit global crimes, while simultaneously lamenting the impact those crimes have on regular people, and promising to help eradicate this corruption which we are the backbone of. We are hoping that we only need to operate honestly for a week or so before accepting funding from those we should be investigating, so enroll now!
A week of honest operating? That's being optimistic - I give it to Tuesday morning tea break after the lobbyists come bearing gifts.
As the debunktress-in-chief, I'm applying for an honorary degree. <smiles>
