Of course of course. Science is good, but we must never forget eugenics and what that so called sound proof and logical science brought about.
Again, science is not concerned with morality. Thats why we have philosophy.
Is a computer evil? What about a cure for cancer? Irrigation? Modern fertilisers? Reaching the moon?
Morality is irrelevant to the examination of the world.
Likewise we must never forget the mysteries that are shoved in our face time and time again, I.E. a certain deaf pianist who by the age of three were writing great symphonies, or the American soldier who during world war II was bumped on the head, came to, and was speaking an ancient russian dialect that he never had learned before and had not been used in YEARS. Later he passed back out and awoke again speaking English having no memory of waking up before speaking ancient Russian.
Amusing anecdotes are great, but just because something is not currently explainable,does not mean it is forever unexplainable.
nothing in mind but their own self preservation, sex, comfort, and food. Devoid of dreams, devoid of mystery, trapped in the 2D mundane.
like what? the men who mapped the genome? figured out how atoms are built? sent us to the moon? created computers and the internet?
Mankind is the most marvelous creatures ever to exist
Another thing to consider is that no great inventor or what have you ever came up with his ideas by reading books (the thoughts of other men).
Have you gone off the deep end mate? Virtually everything created builds on the advances made before us. We couldn't have split the atom or mapped the genome or invented flight or any of thethings we have achieved, without drawing on the experiences, theories and tests done by those before us.
Literacy is the single greatest advance made by the human race, allowing knowledge to be preserved, so each generation can build upon it, rather than start from scratch.
Do you think Jay Miner would have had time to create the amiga, if he had to invent electricity first?
And if the theories can be disproven, they can be cast aside and replaced with a new model that better explains the world, and permits new discoveries and wonders
Now granted you will hear many theories being passed as fact such as the notion that slave built the Pyramids and the like, but really, we don't know. We just know that that was impossible, but it's still being taught as truth. And as for those things even more crazy and confusing and amazing and mysterious than Giza...
I'll take slaves over aliens. I can prove the existence of one,and evidence of the other is gloriously absent.
Nobody thinks it was impossible to build the pyramids. Just requires a great knowledge of math, maybe one of the most fundamental corner stones of science.
You know, im a pretty big fan of yours, but I think we'll have to agree to disagree here mate
