SCIENCE IS DEAD AND I WASTED 30+ YEARS OF MY LIFE. Sorry for yelling but it is all I can do lately. I am a medical writer and work in clinical research, writing protocols, safety reports, submissions, CSRs, etc. One of my protocols was recently amended to include "at birth" next to sex. One dataset for a DSUR came in with no male and female data. I asked the team what was going on and they had decided to remove sex from the studies because they wanted to be inclusive or some other nonsense. These are SAFETY STUDIES! Males and Females are different biologically, biochemically, and physiologically. How to we assess if there is a sex-specific safety signal if we do not assess male versus female? QT intervals are different for males and females. How do we assess if there is a cardiac signal in one of the sexes without diluting all the results? We won't even know if the normal range is correct. One of our drugs is known to affect hormones and each sex is also affected subjectively. How do you design studies like this without looking at the sexes (TWO of them) separately?? Yesterday, at a CTT, there was a very long discussion about what kinds of birth controls are to be allowed for transexuals. MY HEAD EXPLODED.

As we get deeper into living in this 1984 world, we get further and further down this 1984 quote:

------------------------------------

“How does one man assert his power over another, Winston?“

Winston thought. “By making him suffer”, he said.

“Exactly. By making him suffer. Obedience is not enough. Unless he is suffering, how can you be sure that he is obeying your will and not his own? Power is in inflicting pain and humiliation. Power is in tearing human minds to pieces and putting them together again in new shapes of your own choosing. Do you begin to see, then, what kind of world we are creating? It is the exact opposite of the stupid hedonistic Utopias that the old reformers imagined. A world of fear and treachery is torment, a world of trampling and being trampled upon, a world which will grow not less but MORE merciless as it refines itself. Progress in our world will be progress towards more pain. The old civilizations claimed that they were founded on love or justice. Ours is founded upon hatred. In our world there will be no emotions except fear, rage, triumph, and self-abasement. Everything else we shall destroy – everything.

Already we are breaking down the habits of thought which have survived from before the Revolution. We have cut the links between child and parent, and between man and man, and between man and woman. No one dares trust a wife or a child or a friend any longer. <-- WE ARE HERE

But in the future there will be no wives and no friends. Children will be taken from their mothers at birth, as one takes eggs from a hen. The sex instinct will be eradicated. Procreation will be an annual formality like the renewal of a ration card. We shall abolish the orgasm. Our neurologists are at work upon it now. There will be no loyalty, except loyalty towards the Party. There will be no love, except the love of Big Brother. <-- THIS IS THE PLAN
