Since my student years I have been utterly puzzled how it is possible that in the modern educated world general support has been given to the ideology – to the contemporary scientific world view – which is in direct contradiction with certain fundamental empiric facts. I am convinced that the modern scientific world concept promotes primitive false ideas about the basic essence of people and nature and already substantially hinders the advancement of natural sciences. During several decades I have hoped in vain that this irrational ideology will fall. Now I have lost my patience, and although I am not a professional philosopher I dare to present the public my opinion on the dismal philosophical atmosphere that has been established in the present-day scientific community
