The Freemasons censor scientific progress in order to keep their idealistic political control.
Only joking...
So what do Science and Politics have to do with each other? And what does that have to do with you?
Science (or as some like to call it, Magic) is at its prime. As a species which thrives on tools, science naturally lends itself well to our interest and practical neceseties. Scientific advances lead to improvements in such tools, which end up affecting each and every one of us almost constantly during our everyday lives. If you looked at the difference in technology between now and 30 years ago, you may find many of the same objects, but you will find many differences between those products. Cars, for one thing, certainly have made major advances since the 70's.
But how much of our research haven't we heard about...? How much of it has been barred from the collective public's ear?
As it turns out, if you are a scientist, it's not quite as simple as making a breakthrough discovery one day, and then having it become commonplace use the very next. There are many intermediate steps between discovering and utilizing, as far as technology goes - and this is where the politics play a role.
Charles Darwin (Happy Birthday, Chuck 'n Abe) is one well known example. After he first began to theorize his ideas about evolution, he spent years making sure that his observations were scientifically sound, but also spent time carefully planning how to best present this to the public. Creationism was a widely accepted public belief, so a theory about evolution such as Darwin's would be rejected and critisized if it were thrown out willy-nilly, as other researchers working on similar ideas at the time could have done. That's not to say that Darwin's theory of evolution was widely accepted, or ever even widely accepted. Even now, there are many people who oppose his theory. Luckily Darwin remained physically unharmed after proposing such a theological travesty, unlike poor Galileo...
The main point that I guess I am trying to convey (I forgot where I was going with that...) is that science and politics do not mix. While science is concerned with the absolute truth of things, politics is concerned with whichever truth is best for the general public. Especially when it comes to controversial topics, these truths do not always overlap. What does this mean for you? Nothing, if you don't consider it. That's the beauty of censorship.
