Above all, this is a parody, satirical.
Try not to connect all the bits and pieces too hard but instead consider every single statement in its own light... not overly framing it all into one big (negative) picture and that being the bottom line... far from it.
The only interconnection between the elements of this video is science and criticism one might relate to scientific efforts, interpretations thereof and contexts in which it emerges or is promoted.
This is by no means intended to refute the quality of the method itself, not even the slightest.
I am openly critical with blind faith in science and scientific progress. You may well argue how I can possibly relate faith to the scientific method. I don't.
I assign faith to what is derived from scientific findings or possibly "knowledge" ...even by scientists in the name of some ideology, phantasy or otherworldy theory for which I couldn't care less, where probability and significance speak nothing but the language of irrelavance or that of ignorance towards matters of real concern.
You may wonder, but I consider myself as embracing the scientific method, after all trained in it, of course promoting it over superstition and hypocracy, religious or otherwise.
Yet, hypocracy is part of the scientific community just as it is part of human society at large. The picture of what constitutes meaningful science and what doesn't seems, as of 2009, be utterly distorted.
Big Bangs and Quantum Shinanigans are found to be reasonably truthful and studied by myriads of people. Yet hardly anyone seems to study how to develop models for true democracy, how to abolish private money creation or how to irrigate Africa and create an abundance of nutrition through permaculture.
I am asking the question of... is humanity truly an egocentric, technocratic bunch? Or is it rather that technocrats, blackmailed and chained up by financial interests, play in the hands of the greedy beast which is Big Finance, patenting the shit out of every thought, restricting access to knowledge and social progress while, at the same time, being publicly promoted as the summit of human evolution.
Hey idiot who made the video... If you can't even spell the word "religious" correctly in the video then how the hell do you expect people to take it seriously? Not that any intelligent being would anyway but still. It's not "religeous" it's "RELIGIOUS!"

Shit happens, nobody's perfect & I don't mind the occasional mistake.
Btw, have you ever made such a video, tried to take care of all possible typos, especially in a language other than your own? I'd say my English is nontheless quite understandable.
Other than that, your point is pretty weak, ortography has nothing to do with what this video is about. And, as far as your intelligence goes, why not show it? ...instead of your shallow ad popullum of "not that any intelligent being would".

Maybe with the CERN we can measure the depth of Flechforfreedom stupidity ... can't we ?

Or... if we could just get a particular kind space-time distortion out of it, you know that kind of suction funnel focussing on certain individuals.

Interessanter Beitrag deinerserseits, herzlichen Dank dafür!
In der Tat ist die Ausrichtung heutiger Wissenschaft in teilen äußerst bedenklich und bedarf eines Umdenkens hinsichtlich der Endzielsetzung. Ich finde jedoch das auch diese Art der Forschung durchaus Relevanz hat, wenn diese auch in letzter Zeit unverhältnismäßig erscheint.

Natürlich haben Teilchenbeschleuniger ihre Existenzberechtigung.
Ich persönlich finde jedoch, dass wir heute nicht in einer Zeit leben, in der solche Projekte und Forschungen eine derartige Bedeutung haben sollten.
Wenn auch weitaus theoretischer, gilt für mich gleiches für das Thema "Urknall"... der, mit Verlaub, eher ein Gehirnfurz entsprechenden Ausmaßes ist... da bleibt am Ende auch nur noch ein großes "schwarzes Loch" ;o)
Wissenschaft ist nicht die Frage nach Gott oder Urknall.
