So this is a new system being tested out for operating the 24K Journal website.

The hope is that this system should expedite the process of article publishing.

Public policy in America:

https://us.sagepub.com/en-us/nam/top-down-policymaking/book236215

It’s like that high school clique where the cool kids call all the shots.

Money foundations, think tanks, lobbyists – they are the in-crowd kids of policymaking, dictating what goes down.

Don’t be fooled by the “demands of the people” myth. It’s all about the elite’s interests, preferences, and connections.

So next time you think you have a say in shaping policy, remember: it’s just the in-crowd kids playing their game! #TopDownPolicymaking #ElitePower.

“Strength is Responsibility; Weakness is Liability.” -24K Journal

By Dr. Marcus Roe

Dear Reader,

Welcome to the fourth issue of 24K Journal of Virtues Science!
What is knowledge? What is scepticism? Where will science devoid of philosophy lead? Is scientism not a result of powerful interests attempting to reform science into something more malleable to predation?
Historically, what might have become of a beneficial philosophy that affirmed Oneness as highest Good and taught a practical method in absolving sin? Such a philosophy would have been devastating to elites manipulating commoners, as accomplished with shame and engineering ignorance. In the end, however, is there any difference between absolving sin, correcting error, improving knowledge, or progressing science?
Science is most often taught in modern educational institutions as though the goal of objectivity could be fulfilled by simply pretending experiments and analyses were performed in a cleanroom-type environment perfectly innocent of distractions or political motivations. Of course, this is nonsense. Many sciences attempted in a perfectly objective manner would be criminal, and indeed are.
Science must be subjective by the very nature of the imperfect beings engaged in it. What is the point of science if it is not subjective toward human life? In other words, scientists are rightly biased toward their own life, and continuing it. Some alternative could be theoretically objective but also severely misguided. To wish for the continuation and progress of humanity is a very subjective position, and only made objective through individual and societal progress toward the universal.
The first science of all scientists should naturally be in the knowledge of good and evil. To have anything less is to plan for disaster. Scientists must be philosophers first, with philosophy returned to its rightful orientation.

Merry Christmas to all!

Live Well,
Dr. Roe

Dear Reader,
Welcome to the third issue of 24K Journal of Virtues Science!
What is freedom? What is freedom without actions toward more and better freedom? Or what is freedom without good options?
If freedom without good options leads to less freedom, can its ultimate end be called death? Honestly, what can obsession with materiality in itself lead to other than fewer good options, less freedom, and more death?
These are the questions primary to this issue. Will the future hold more freedom or more death? More improvement or more pain?
Can science ignorant of these fundamental questions be considered beneficial in any terms? Can a scientist do good without a philosophically sound foundation for its definition?
The first article in this issue discusses the denial of Spirit, which is the essence of a loosely mechanistic perspective on materiality itself as presumed origin of all phenomena. This is the precursor position to scientism, which is dealt with in the third and fourth articles: Epistemology in Crisis 1 & 2. The second article of this issue is a continuation in series called Complete Freedom 2. The truth is that those lost to Spirit must be trapped to the material, either physically or mentally, closing them off from actual freedom. Nobody can be free who does not have a fundamental sense of good in reflection of reality.
Live Well,
Dr. Roe

The first publication here is Resurrexit Spiritus, a collection of seven articles establishing a phenomenology and some fundamental truths of human organisation, most especially to do with virtues. This will soon be formatted and recollected into an expanded book form which will be made available here for sale. The articles remain free to access, however:
