""The Ailing Science"" is an interdisciplinary exploration of the human being through biology, psychology, anthropology, social structures and history. It argues that much of the science used to understand the human mind is incomplete or fundamentally flawed. Most modern psychological theories were created in limited European environments and later treated as universal truths. This book challenges that intellectual heritage and proposes a new, global perspective on the human mind.

Drawing on biochemistry, hormone dynamics, neurology and human physiology, the book shows how our thoughts, emotions and identity arise from the body interacting with culture, food, environment and political power. It explores how historical civilizations, including ancient Egypt, already understood the mechanisms of social control, and how similar patterns of influence, manipulation and governance continue in modern societies - transformed in appearance, but structurally unchanged.

""The Ailing Science"" investigates the deep continuity between biology, culture and political systems. It reveals how the mind cannot be separated from the body, how science has often ignored global human diversity, and how modern democratic structures still reflect ancient methods of shaping behavior.

This book is a manifesto for a renewed understanding of humanity - scientific, historical, cultural and political. It invites readers to question inherited models, to see the forces that shape society, and to rethink what it means to be human in a world built on both knowledge and illusion.""
