To this day, the liberal scientific establishment vehemently hates Soviet biology. Wonder why? Introducing American biologist Ray Peat. He used the Soviet dialectical method to completely shift the American paradigm of biology, discovering the cure to cancer in the process -🧵
First off, we have to understand Raymond Peat as an inherently revolutionary thinker. His thought makes no sense without the overall critical aspect of it (here I mean critical in the philosophic and revolutionary sense of the likes of the German idealists).
His insight is first and foremost a revolution in the philosophy of science. He is a biologist of WHOLENESS as opposed to the Western paradigm of substance.
Whereas substance biology thinks that, in the last instance, a single Form defines the whole of Being, Raymond Peat and his school (the dialectical biologists) think in terms of the whole, the energy, the flux and the vitality of the system.
All of these terms are holistic and dialectical terms taken from the Soviet biological outlook. In Mind and Tissue:
As Ray Peat himself says, he considers Lenin’s dialectical materialism the best way to approach science in the modern age: "It is exactly as science should be, and exactly what science isn't working as right now" - Dr. Ray Peat on Dialectical Materialism and the works of Lenin.
Whereas Western liberal science would think in terms of atoms, genes and price, Ray Peat would think in terms of quantum states, epigenetics and tensions in value. For example, one of the central starting points of Doctor Peat is the function of the Thyroid in the system.
For Peat, the Thyroid acts as a central fluctuating but undetermined agent in the production of vitality. He completely detaches the Thyroid from its previous “cliches” as he calls them. As he says:
Here, it is very clear that Peat is taken from his dialectical predecessors, among them the Soviet biologist Trofim Lysenko, to assert function over and above “genetic determination”. <a target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/KARIMAXXING/status/1689022047924387840" color="blue">x.com/KARIMAXXING/st…</a>
Indeed, function is a holistic aggregation of cellular information, whereas genetic determination is a one-sided metaphysical view of heredity and cellular development.
The Peatist view opens up the possibility to aggregate the whole of social reality INTO the biological organism. Nature and humanity are no longer absolutely separated but interlinked.
The Thyroid thus acts as a negative cybernetic regulator of the hormonal system - that is, at the same time, keeping the system a WHOLE but also integrating the environmental/social/exterior reality into itself.
This is among the reasons why we see such an interest in dietology with the Raymond Peat sphere; as opposed to a Western pharmacologists prescribing inhibitants or hormone blockers, Peatists would try and discover an *alternative* way to organize their intake and their physical -
- and corporal activity. Where Western scientists see defects in the individual organism (through genetic malformations as they say), Peatists see defects in the social system itself. Here again, we see the explicit revolutionary consequences of Peatist biological ontology.
Peat’s claim would be that the current social organization has developed into being discontinuous with the regulatory principles of the human system. It is not even *faster* than humanity, as some accelerationists would say, but wholly ineffective.
A true evolution expands the laws of development. Ray Peat’s analysis of capitalism offers insight into what he thinks our current system is:
Here we see that Peat does think there is an *alienation* occurring, that there does exist authentic relations and differences between men and women, but that capitalism, in its recent development, obstructs this authenticity and transforms men and women into economic categories.
“Man” in capitalist society is labor power - “Man” is not the aggregate and concrete totality of all social relations. Therefore, Man’s biological system - which IS aggregate and social in nature - is discontinuous with the capitalist paradigm of science -
- where production/research/medication and prescription is geared towards the expansion of value (time extraction in short) and not Man’s social vital essence in itself.
Recently, due to certain events, this radical discrepancy between Man and the health establishment was seen even more so explicitly.
