Key Notes
Modern method of knowing truth by questioning, doubting, and testing claims rather than relying on divine inspiration.
Jiang rejects the school-taught process model of thinking and says real creativity begins with the final idea, then works backward to draft, outline, and research.
He argues school destroys creativity because it teaches a process that does not generate great scientific ideas; discovery comes through imagination, intuition, and channeling the divine.
He accepts the student's distinction that the scientific method is useful for convincing others and spreading an inspired idea after it has arrived.
The Scientific Revolution is framed as a shift from asking what God or truth is to asking how humans can know God and divine law.
Modern science changes the governing question from 'what is truth?' to 'how do we know truth?', making doubt rather than divine inspiration the central priority.
The scientific method consists of questions and hypotheses, protocols for testing hypotheses, experimentation, and a system of doubt and criticism through peer review.
Francis Bacon's New Atlantis is presented as a vision of science as specialized bureaucracy, with offices for experiments, audits, and theory-making.

A source-grounded reading of Jiang's attack on the scientific worldview: Big Bang, evolution, neuroscience, school, and transhumanism become parts of one material story that forgets divinity, fears death, and lets power reinvent reality.
Science begins here as a theological discipline of doubt.
