#Dogma

Dogma is a ceremonial set of rules that labels doubt heretical and imprisons believers’ thoughts in a sacred cage. Distributed under the guise of truth, it is in fact a dated manual with an expiration date. Any question triggers immediate backlash from its issuer and a ‘divine’ forced update via version control. While touting social stability, it most efficiently enforces mental shutdown for individuals.

Dogma is a fortress of logic that proclaims absolute truth while sealing off its foundations from debate. Its walls are thick and its doors against dissent are firmly shut. Believers find comfort within, but the outside perspective is only accepted as rubble. Dogma ends inquiry and sows the seeds of control behind its veneer. What remains is the silent chorus of people afraid to question.

Scientism is a kind of faith that treats the scientific method as a panacea, coercing every question into answers of experiments and numbers. People sanctify measurability, gaining comfort by denying whatever cannot be observed. They overlook the values and meanings lurking behind equations and data, worshiping an idol called truth. While critical thinking is seemingly invited, falsification itself becomes the greatest taboo. Results become the purpose, banishing the richness of inquiry itself beyond the border of this ironic doctrine.
