Upcoming Posts/Mission Statement

While it has been a recurring theme on this blog today and last night to discuss and dissect the infiltration of the quackademic practices of James Hyman and his so called "Quantum Theta Energy Healing," this is not all we are here to do. Pseudo-scientific debunking and refutation are a large portion of our mission statement, however, in the upcoming days we shall discuss and publish content on the following numerous topics.

Our Mission Statement

1. To be an advocate of freedom of speech, freedom of the press and the right to privacy.

2. The refutation and analysis of anti-science and crank ideas; essays on right wing authoritarianism and religious fundamentalism.

3. Help foster a secular society based on science, inquiry, reason and humanist values.
To oppose and supplant the mythological narratives of the past, and the dogmas of the present, the world needs an institution devoted to promoting science, reason, inquiry, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, the fundamental human right of privacy and humanist values. WikiLeax is that institution.

At WikiLeax, we believe that evidence-based reasoning, in which humans work together to address common concerns, is critical for modern world civilization. Moreover, unlike many other institutions, we maintain that scientific methods and reasoning should be utilized in examining the claims of both pseudoscience and religion. We reject mysticism and blind faith. No topic should be placed off limits to scrutiny—certainly not fringe science and religion, which have an enormous influence on beliefs and conduct.

We also maintain that values are properly the subject of study and discussion as much as empirical claims. WiKiLeax studies and promotes human values based on a naturalistic outlook. Ideological doctrine and religious dogma have no more right to dictate our moral norms than they do to influence scientific research.
