    That the scientific method is fine as it is.

    On top of that, quantum mechanics, Einstein’s theories of relativity, Maxwell’s equations, Newton’s law of gravity, although Einstein “disproved” this, they both make the same mistake, and more.

    And before people false dichitomize me into the religious camp, the best and easiest example I will always give of what’s wrong with these theories is to take the holy trinity, argue what fallacy is taking place when one introduces a three-but-really-one monotheist deity as truth and then expand on that fallacy to take down the photon’s two-but-really-one wave-particle duality.

      All said and done. We clearly have only scratched surface of scientific knowledge. So it is pretty much a safe bet that the vast majority of what we “know” is wrong. Especially anything complicated.

    That because the human species has done so much, it must be good.

    And the usual bit about your productive output being the measure of your value.

      I think that might be stress talking.

      Everybody agrees that goodness and beauty matter. All of our stories and movies and ideologies say as much.

      But when stressed. When security is at stake. And especially if nobody is watching. Yeah we can become selfish little rats.

      My point is we go up and down like that. From human to rat and back again. Depending on our stress level.
