You’re really missing my point here. Instead of just getting defensive, 🤔 — we're basically talking past each other.
Science wasn't some invention by a handful of academics; it's a fundamental human drive. It’s baked into our DNA. What you’re describing is just a narrow scientific method used to probe the physical plane—a method built on imperfect senses, tools, instruments, and the inevitable fiction of the human imagination. This approach focuses more on exploitation than actual understanding. Why? Because pure knowledge and true comprehension don't turn a profit. That isn't inherently good or bad, but it's insufficient for what any human being on this planet actually wants: prosperity. True prosperity doesn't come from mere comfort, nor does it come from reading about things in a book or believing in something just because someone told you it exists.
If you insist that a purely materialistic scientific approach is the only way to advance civilization, then you’ll struggle to grasp Tesla’s insight or even Mexico's brilliant poem:
"If science spent just ten years studying non-physical phenomena, it would make more progress than it has in its entire century of existence."
STOP NURSING
Take it slow. Let go of the bottle.
That is the core of my argument.
From a zygote, nourished only by blood,
to an infant drinking milk,
to a child eating solid food,
to a seeker of wisdom,
to a hunter chasing the most intangible prey of all.
Imagine trying to have a conversation with a zygote.
You might say:
"The outside world is vast and complex.
There are wheat fields and mountain slopes,
and orchards in full bloom.
At night, millions of galaxies are visible, and in the sunlight,
you can see the beauty of friends dancing at a wedding.">
But if you ask the zygote why it remains cramped
in the dark, with eyes closed,
listen to the answer:
"There is no 'other world.'
I only know what I have experienced.
You must be imagining it."
