Power mongers are ignorant, or they wouldn't be mongering power. Yet they control the social order, because power is supposedly virtue, while powerlessness is corruption, which is bigotry. The result is fascism overwhelming everyone and destroying social structures including government.

An example of the result is Neonicotinoids accumulating in food. Ignorant fools said neonicotinoids don't effect humans because of a methyl group. A methyl group is nothing but an invisible, oily bump to neurotransmitter functions. Neurotransmitters require very large and stable polarized structures which can be recognized structurally.

The consequence of neonicotinoids is that they damage smooth muscles of animals including humans, which means blood vessels, and reduce ability to control blood pressure. So blood flows down toward feet and creates foot pain. The medical doctors don't have a clue, since they are not scientists; so they treat the increasing problem with pressure socks.

On top of that problem, neonicotinoids don't break down readily, so they accumulate in livestock and meat, where old-fashioned organo-phosphate pesticides broke down in livestock before getting to humans.

So why are neonicotinoids being rationalized as safe for humans by know-nothings? Because fraud and ignorance rule, where power mongers have taken over the social order.

Another example is telling people to eat very little salt in conflict with the need for electrolytes being replaced particularly in the very hot weather that has become a problem.

During the 1950s, persons working outdoors were given salt pills to take during hot conditions to replace electrolytes that are rapidly lost. Then someone noticed that salt is not good for some medical conditions and told people to eat less salt.

After decades of convincing people to eat less salt, newer studies determined that earlier studies were not reliable and the newer studies indicate that less salt is not needed for normal human conditions. But the information sits in the background, while people have not been informed that they need a significant amount of salt particularly during hot conditions.

There is a misrepresentation of the sugar problem, as people are told that refined sugars increases fat production due to sucrose and fructose not being used directly as energy sources, as glucose is. A lot of persons don't have a fat problem. What they are not being told is that refined sugars damage every cell in the body, which is particularly harmful to hearts.

That's because the sugars enter cells without the selective mechanisms of protein identification molecules which usually control what enters cells. For sugar, size of the molecule is the limiting factor, while the diameter is about the same for most sugars. So sucrose and fructose enter cells and damage cells, because they cannot be broken down through normal metabolism and must be handled as foreign substances. That means special processes related to cellular immunity are needed for breaking them down. Those processes are cumbersome and not rapidly produced. So sugars clutter cells and damage them. Even glucose in too high of a quantity is bad for cells, because it can only be metabolized at a limited rate. Insulin limits the amount of glucose in the blood for that reason.

Small quantities of refined sugars can be broken down by the liver with limited harmfulness. The quantity matters, as large amounts result in the sugars getting to all cells.

For very young kids, a little sugar might be a lesser of evils, since they can tolerate a lot nutritionally and evolution made sugar attractive to them, while unusual nutrients are objectionable, which was a survival mechanism in the jungles, until the youngsters acquired more knowledge.

One of the stupidest bits of ignorance generating fraud is to prevent ammonia-related fertilizers from being used for organic food production. Nothing is safer in the environment than such fertilizers (without nitrates). Ammonia is the gold of the soil being absorbed rapidly by all soil organisms and easily converted into cell metabolites. People exhale ammonia; so it couldn't be harmful to humans; but it never gets to humans when used as a fertilizer, since it is metabolized by plants and soil microbes very rapidly.

(The scientists for medical doctors assume excess nitrogen needs to be excreted through urea, which is ammonia linked to carbon dioxide. It doesn't. Urea is synthesize from amino acids requiring a lot of energy and valuable nutrients, because the urea is needed to kill germs that create urinary tract infections.)

What then is used for nitrogen fertilizer for organic food? No explanation, which means it is up to the imagination of farmers to figure out how to resolve an unsolvable problem, while know-nothings have been convincing some of them to put sewage sludge on their ground claiming it is good for conditioning the ground. Ignorant bureaucrats allow sewage sludge in agriculture, if it test negative for heavy metals. The tests are not reliable, because uniform mixing is needed to evaluate tests; and sewage sludge is not uniform, besides the fact that even low levels of heavy metals will destroy soil forever after.

When power mongers get those simple subjects wrong, how right can they be with complex subjects such as the abstractions of the fake science and technology that are destroying energy and transportation systems to remove a fraudulent boogeyman from the atmosphere?

Nothing is perfect; so know-nothings run our lives; and they cannot tolerate rationality, because it exposes them as the corrupters that they are. They need to take over everything, because they have nothing without power.
