AdvanceUSA had the privilege of attending a lecture last week by John West (Senior Fellow at the Discovery Institute) at the Heritage Foundation at which he explained the effects of scientific materialism on American culture and political thought.  In his lecture West highlighted 5 specific effects of scientific materialism evident today.

  1. technocracy elevated above democracy
  2. pursuit of utopianism
  3. dehumanization
  4. moral relativism
  5. stifling of free speech and free debate
