You’re desperately looking for an agenda beyond “more knowledge is good”, and seemingly frustrated that you’re not finding it. Why?
Scientists don’t need to have an end goal in mind to dispel myths or discover new truths. Sometimes they do, and that’s fine, but it’s hardly a requirement. Reducing ignorance is itself A Good Thing.
- h0l0cube 7y ago> Scientists don’t need to have an end goal I agree. Also, the article isn't a scientific paper.
- TulliusCicero 7y agoIt's an article by a scientist that summarizes scientific papers and the scientific consensus, is it not?
- h0l0cube 7y agoYep, those things are true, but it doesn't negate the fact that the 'article' is journalism.
