The Essence of Material Science

Materialistic Science is investigating the basics for desirable objectives (O), here lifefulfillment, usually for free applicable tool, weapons, and systems in order to able to multiplying (m) the immutable results for the desirable usage in applying the basic functions, F1 for input, F2 for processing, and F3 for the output. Any human system has to perform them to be able to go on with its physical existence:

F1=NF: The basic attitude of science is self-less in the sense that one investigates the F=future evolvement of the theme in question from its N=now presence as accessible through data relevant for its future. And that is to be investigated without interfering or disturbing the cause in question any way. Relying on data is referring to the O=objects with data that can b m=multiplied to other observers. A scientist is thus just looking at what rises above the mist of conflicting causes and rumors, that which is solidly grounded in itself  in the the underlying substantiality, the understanding of which is the goal.

F2=FP: Applying science in this way can provoke, from the point of view of P=past experience, unexpected possible futures, as for instance in an experiment. It is then a matter of being able to deregulate and revitalize the understanding so far reached and disseminated in theories and models. However, the temptation is to rather enforce the established order against the newly emerging insights, because is seems simpler and less of a risk. At this stage, science becomes denotational and compartmentalized, and men compete over positions to administer what is now no longer science but opinions, prejudice, dogma, ideology, paradigm, myth, political correctness, trend, even wars, etc.

3=PN: When devoting oneself personally to applying science, its virtual past shapes the present of our mentality as we know it from the way operating system of computers shape the execution of the running of programs. At this point of personal awareness, a human being needs a guideline about how to take responsibility for the further development of his or her mentality beyond what we all get conditioned to in terms of political correctness. This is of course up to our free will; in today's society people get away with being Ce-zombies, e.g. in embedding in and defaulting to the Ce=established communicative mentality.

How  the now leads to a future, is the basic question of Naturalistic - Positivistic - Materialistic NPM-science: It assumes everything evolves from an initial stage, such as the big bang due to the laws of physics, and blind selections of higher order forms in surviving what has, according to the evolution myth, supposedly led to life and consciousness as we know it. The actual future then changes our interpretation of the past and where we have fallen for the temptation to manipulate, e.g. behave as if we ourselves had the power of, and over the law of nature and ultimately its originator, God. In that quest philosophy was born; the attempt to rule 1Om from the 2Om point of view, and on the basis of established, denotational language. Chomsky managed to close that mental operating-system which Plato had initiated, and which has infected theology over the ages. How useful is it knowing about the past in the now! It allows self-awakened human being. Of course we can default to our survival (reptilian stem-brain) mode, to our hedonistic desires (mammalian mid-brain), or to what Ce offers us in terms of (the frontal lobes) morality, ethics, religion, dogmas, return on investment incentives etc. With Applied Personal Science APS® a more up-to-date approach is offered here that allows thinking in terms of the life-fulfillment of as many as possible.
