    The problem with the ideology these creators have, is they essentially make science a new religion and elevate it to god status. They have replaced the role that monotheistic gods once had in the human experience with an abstract idea of “science”. Not only is this idealist thinking, it bastardises science itself.

    We’ve seen this ideology manifest itself time and time again. From thinking the invention of the internal combustion engine and massive steam versions of it would advance humanity (then WW1 happened), to the neo futuristic atomic hope of the early 1950s after WW2 before the cold war kicked off heavily, to the end of history 1990s before the “war on terror” started. To finally the modern day worship of “green energy” in capitalist societies, that is not actually green.

    It needs to be remembered that the scientific method is simply the best way we currently have of understanding the world around us, and not the understanding itself. Objectifying science to the point that people consider it analogous to the understanding itself leads to all kinds of problems.
