It is a root cause of inflicting ongoing socio-ecological violence since its design principles are inward and selfish. These themes promote excessive consumption that relies upon the creation of un-thinking individuals having no empathy. This is well researched under Agnotology, i.e., “the science of producing ignorance” (Dossey, 2014; Proctor and Schiebinger, 2008). Common examples of promoting false or conflicting scientific data include: carbon emissions, cigarettes; fractional banking, refined sugar, fast foods, pharmaceuticals, policy, etc. All of these sectors have countered scientific knowledge, by promoting conflicting and even malicious content (Churchman, 1940; Boyed, 2019; Foucault, 1980; Chomsky, 1996), for selfish gains and objectives. As such, the Cognitive-Engine, positions itself as being critical, scientifically accurate and unbiased, as far as this is possible.
