Can Science truly save us?

[Thoughtful Trolli]

Science has become more of a brand name than a concept, and is still being used under pretense to coerce others, quite rampantly. But more importantly, the problem at large today can be summarized by three ideas arranged in repeating litany.

Science is the truth: The truth is with no good or evil we should engage in hedonism at any extent: The horrors of rampant hedonism should be destroyed by scientific enlightenment: Science is the truth: The truth is with no good or evil we should engage in hedonism at any extent: The horrors of rampant hedonism should be destroyed by scientific enlightenment: Science is the truth: The truth is with no good or evil we should engage in hedonism at any extent: The horrors of rampant hedonism should be destroyed by scientific enlightenment: And so on and so on.

Its clear that science cannot save us. It can only be wielded as a brand name to further enslave us.

Thankfully, most of us see this, and don't give a shit about you, scientists. Get used to it.

Finally, our concluding argument is that if science truly intends to help us, they're going to have to do all the work for us and be OUR slaves. Otherwise, we'll all die like we'll naturally do anyway, lol. And if scientists try to say "We're going to leave the people who didn't follow us behind when we move on to paradise," well unlike you we've had thousands of years of dealing with such a shitty philosophical threat in the form of religion. And we can say the same thing back to you.

It's saved us quite a few number of times actually. Before the anti-vax movement we almost got rid of measles and whopping cough.

"Science can't save us"

Says the forum goer on the internet who's never going to have to deal with polio, and probably drives to work, lives in an air conditioned house, eats food that's safe from disease and drinks clean water . . . due to science.

Science has been steadily making our lives easier and longer. We've eradicated entire diseases from certain parts of the world and as gene editing and technology like CRISPR, I wouldn't be surprised if we possessed the capabilities to eradicate HIV/AIDS and cancers within a century.

This emote just isn't enough to convey the magnitude of eye-roll this thread deserves. Frankly, I expect more out of someone who calls themselves a thoughtful troll.

But seriously, what the fuck are you talking about?

This is just really really baity. Theres ways to discuss science that don't involve "Scientists will be our slaves!" and "Science is just a brand name that enslaves us".
