The political ecology of development, following Bruno Latour's referential, is a diffuse network of connections of facts, opinions, images and representations that hide the flows of energy, matter, time and information, which direct value in the direction of its greatest concentration. These networks are built from the historical formations of that present or omnipresent past, the structures of the Weberian iron prison that maintain the nation-state ruling over a local-globalized civil society increasingly active to destroy it and the materialization of the ideological superstructure. on social networks, freeing the human being and nature from that prison of power, money and misinformation.
Latour says that to see where things really happen in science we must look not so much at what scientists say, but at what they do and what they do hidden from their own peers, and hidden from nature, the alliances they make. outside the laboratory, their religious prejudices and beliefs that contaminate their activity.
Everything that is hidden from scientific activity is what connects it with the rest of society, especially with political and economic power as a source of its legitimacy and financing; and with the society from which it hides those links to maintain the illusion of objectivity, impartiality and disinterest in economic gain.
Science is fundamentally the search for the truth of the facts, sometimes the facts are the truth in themselves, but more and more these facts need to be constructed, legitimized and represented for the scientists themselves and for the society that fails to understand the constructed truth or the true truth accumulated by thousands of facts statistically analyzed and organized to establish their meaning and significance,
An example of this truth are the 39 pairs of nitrogenous bases of the RNA virus Sars-Cov-2 sequenced millions of times in laboratories during 2020 that, like a biological clock, marked the victorious advance of the deadly Covid-19 throughout the planet earth, as well The world population had a course in molecular biology, epidemiology, molecular evolution live and direct on the world news or suffering in their own flesh hospitalizations in intensive care units where doctors did not know what to do against an unknown enemy.
We all had to go to the direct source of the scientific truth about the virus and the disease to know what to expect and how to protect ourselves from it, but also to protect ourselves from power struggles over scientific truth between doctors and virologists, between charlatans at the same time. Within the religions that first spoke of divine punishment against their opponents, those who were not evangelical would be attacked by the virus as punishment for belonging to a secular society that no longer believes in witches and wizards.
So we all went to read Nature, Science, Lancet, including portals of scientific articles that had not been approved by those journals, since each laboratory result on the virus and the disease was published immediately after leaving the laboratory to understand and act, to combat the disinformation war that for the first time appeared clearly disputing its global hegemony of lies, prejudices, xenophobia that cement the political and economic interests of the ruling elites in all countries from China to the United States suffer from that.
A disinformation complex housed in advertising and journalism that preserves economic interests such as cigarettes, ultra-processed food, oil, mining, car manufacturers, the global military industrial complex and finally the pharmaceutical industries that maintain humanity hostage to their financial profit as they are supposedly bearers of the truth about human health and the onslaught of the war against nature and its diseases.
Many scientific papers on the disease and the virus were rejected by publishers, not because they were poorly done science, but rather because, according to those publishers, they were more political than scientific papers. During the pandemic, that hidden boundary between science and politics was broken, bringing out the multitude of Interests that around the truth of science are deforming it, filtering it, making it less revolutionary, defusing the bomb that scientific education represents for the emancipation of society and individuals who, recovering their eternal link with nature, will free themselves from the guardianship of parents, pastors, doctors, lawyers and others to recreate the small local community that will save us from the climatic and civilizational crisis.
