The Murdochian Ideology

Of or relating to the system of ideas and ideals, which forms the basis of Murdoch Maxwell's economic or political theory and policy.

Murdoch's ideal system of government allows many states, groups, principles, sources of authority, etcetera to compete & coexist; aiming to find a way to hyper-efficiency/truth via controlled experiments and empiricism
One could describe The Murdochian Ideology as a pluralistic, experimentalist, politically weak-agnostic, and unflapped by type II errors.

A critical framework from the social and human sciences, metascience, and infrascience, arguing that science in practice reproduces the same roles, power structures, and forms of oppression as any other ideology—despite its self‑image as neutral truth‑seeking. It examines how “science” is invoked to legitimize hierarchies, how “pseudoscience” is deployed to silence dissent, and how scientific institutions mirror other structures of authority. For example, a neo‑atheist might declare all spiritual beliefs “pseudoscience” except their own metaphysical commitments (e.g., a singular omnipotent God); here, “science” functions as ideology: not a method of inquiry but a boundary‑marker to disqualify competing worldviews while exempting one’s own from scrutiny.
Example: “He called every spiritual tradition ‘pseudoscience’ but refused to examine his own belief in absolute materialism—theory of science as ideology, using the label of science to protect his worldview from critique.”

The theory that science, in practice, often functions like a religion or ideology—providing a framework of ultimate beliefs, a community of believers, rituals of validation, mechanisms of exclusion, and claims to authority that exceed its actual epistemic warrant. The theory doesn't claim that science is just a religion; it claims that science can function like one, especially when it becomes a marker of identity, a source of meaning, or a basis for dismissing other ways of knowing. When "science says" is used as an unquestionable authority, when skepticism of scientific consensus is treated as heresy, when scientific institutions function as priesthoods—science has taken on religious characteristics. The theory is a critique of scientism, not of science—a warning against treating science as something it's not.
Theory of Science as a Religion and Ideology Example: "He treated every scientific consensus as infallible dogma, every skeptic as a heretic. The Theory of Science as a Religion and Ideology explained what he'd become: not a scientist, but a believer. Science wasn't his method; it was his faith."

A specific application of the broader theory, focusing on how the idea of the scientific method can function as a religion or ideology—worshipped as a source of truth, treated as beyond criticism, used to exclude other ways of knowing. The theory argues that the scientific method, properly understood, is a fallible human tool, not a sacred ritual. But when it's treated as the path to truth, when its procedures are fetishized, when its limitations are ignored—it becomes ideological. The theory calls for treating the scientific method as what it is: a powerful but imperfect tool, not an object of worship.
Example: "He invoked 'the scientific method' as if it were a magic spell, guaranteed to produce truth. The Theory of the Scientific Method as a Religion and Ideology showed what he'd done: turned a tool into a totem, a method into a mantra. He wasn't doing science; he was worshipping it."

Ideological Subversion

Ideological subversion is changing the perception of reality in 4 steps:

1. Demoralization
2. Destabilization
3. Crisis
4. New Normal

Ideological subversion by T.H.R.U.S.H. for insectualization. T.H.R.U.S.H. = Technological Hierarchy for the Removal of Undesirables and the Subjugation of Humanity.
Ideological subversion, or “active measures”, is a form of psychological warfare. Programmed to react to stimuli but unable to change perception or logic. Moral standards, facts and common sense have no meaning. Forever process of new normal – problem, reaction, solution. Social credit scores. Order ab chao.
