If modern science is so great then how come we are threatening our very existence with technological devices today? — Thinking
What are the problems of modern science? If modern science is so great then how come we are threatening our very existence with technological devices today? Is there a way we can change our modern beliefs in science in order to change the world today? All these questions and more can be discussed........in this discussion. — Thinking
modern scientific methodology can only really consider what is measurable, what is quantifiable, what ‘yields data’. That is why it puts aside any notion of purpose, intentionality and so on. Those are purely methodological steps which are mistakenly then interpreted as ‘statements about reality’ — Wayfarer
even if we use science and technology in positive way it would not be a perfect worldview that is beneficial to humans or the planet. — Thinking
Science doesn't put anything aside. — magritte
Purpose, intentionality, and reality are philosophical constructs — magritte
That said, too much science is funded by technology companies and institutions, including military. — Kenosha Kid

Is molecular biology not beneficial in having created vaccines for COVID? What about our much beloved smartphones? — magritte
Of course. tools, machines, and products deteriorate.It is inherent that all artificially created devices break down over time and are created from the broken parts of nature and the Earth. — Thinking
the devices and entities of nature are eternal and are capable of recreating themselves through the phenomena of birth and are infinitely more perfect than any device we can create today. This is due to the fact that natures devices are created by a seemingly universal intelligence that is reflected in galaxies and beyond.
I hate to say it but it seems that we are more of a virus to this planet than COVID is a virus for us. — Thinking
I would agree that all of nature is more or less balanced for conditions to be dynamically stable under the circumstances within some limits. The deer population is balanced with the abundance of its food supply. Oak trees go through cycles of massive production of acorn and lean years. Many animals depend on that variance to maintain a sustainable population. People used to be part of that food chain but globalization and technology unbalanced our existence as a species. However, it doesn't take much for more powerful factors like climate change or a supervolcano to wipe out all that balanced stability.Whenever a virus effects a population of deer for example, there is underlying causes that would for example affect the immune system of the subject or an overpopulation. Nature as a whole is very intelligent and has many ploys to restore itself to homeostasis or balance. — Thinking
Seems that way.I hate to say it but it seems that we are more of a virus to this planet than COVID is a virus for us. — Thinking
So it would appear that you are more concerned with a 'religious' or 'spiritual' or some such matters more than scientific problems. You don't have much confidence in science at all. So, one wonders, what is your interest in "the problems of science"? It would appear that you have more confidence in "seemingly universal intelligence". Believe what you want, but it would be better if you were more up-front from the get-go about what your position is. — Bitter Crank
When people linked to genetic science say that there is only a 3% difference between man and chimpanzee, they show an ignorance about the validity of knowledge of genetics. Between human intelligence and animal intelligence there is a global difference that only appears in real experience and anyone can attest to that. — Rafaella Leon
What Husserl called Lebenswelt — the world of life — in fact, I think this concept is too timid, because Lebenswelt is the only world that exists, and I assure you: the world of scientific experience, considered in itself, does not exist. It only exists as a part of Lebenswelt, which you have decided to look at separately, you are distinguishing mentally, but you are not actually separating. This means that without an Ontology and an Epistemology based on the examination of real experience, no science is worth anything, they only acquire value if properly inserted into this general scheme of reality. — Rafaella Leon
What are the problems of modern science? — Thinking
Since the advent of modern empirical and experimental Science, new Knowledge (What? & How?) is fairly easy to come by. But the Wisdom (Why? & Why Not?) to properly apply that knowledge usually comes from hard experience (negative feedback). The job of Philosophy is to apply untested Knowledge, and unproven Theories, in the form of thought experiments.What are the problems of modern science? If modern science is so great then how come we are threatening our very existence with technological devices today? — Thinking
How important we must be!The third biggest porblem of science is philosophy forums on the Internet. — god must be atheist
Get involved in philosophical discussions about knowledge, truth, language, consciousness, science, politics, religion, logic and mathematics, art, history, and lots more. No ads, no clutter, and very little agreement — just fascinating conversations.
