Cargo cult science Cargo cult science is a term coined by physicist Richard Feynman to describe  a type of scientific investigation that lacks the essential elements of scientific inquiry . It is characterized by a superficial adherence to the methods and forms of scientific investigation, but without the underlying understanding and critical thinking. Feynman used the term to describe certain educational and psychological studies that lacked a scientific basis and were more interested in achieving a desired outcome than in seeking the truth. Key Features of Cargo Cult Science Lack of understanding : Cargo cult scientists often lack a deep understanding of the underlying principles and mechanisms of the phenomenon they are studying.

This would be the start of his ‘life on the left’ in which he would turn from Stalinism to Trotskyism in the years running up to World War II before defining himself as an anarchist in the late 1950s and eventually identifying as a ‘communalist’ or ‘libertarian municipalist’ after the introduction of the idea of social ecology. Even though Bookchin never even attended college – except for a few classes in radio technology right after World War II – he wrote dozens of books and published hundreds of academic articles, besides founding several journals and setting up the Institute for Social Ecology ...

  Who Is Jeffrey Sachs? source:  Internationalist Group I - Decimating the Bolivian Working Class “Widely considered to be the leading international economic adviser of his generation” (in the words of his official bio on the  Columbia   University  website), the notorious Dr. Sachs was contracted by hard-line capitalist regimes from  Bolivia  to  Russia . His task: to design an economic “shock treatment” that produced  misery and death for untold numbers of working people . Jeffrey Sachs gained notoriety for advocating and implementing  what is now called “ neoliberal ”  capitalist economics with a vengeance. Following in the footsteps of Milton Friedman’s “Chicago Boys” – who helped the dictator Augusto Pinochet in mid-1970s  Chile  starve workers and the poor for the greater glory of the “free market” – Sachs first made the spotlight as leader of the “Harvard Boys” who brought shock treatment economics to  Bolivia ...
