Science... don't think too high of it!

Science just cannot give you wisdom. It can just tell you about how the powerful group that controls the human civilisation views or wants to view the visible 'data' about life.

E.g. Science will tell you that you can extract unlimited 'wealth' from the earth, but it does not give you the wisdom to have restraint while exploiting mother earth.

It doesn't teach you moderation and restraint, which are extremely important for humans, especially in these hard times. To get back this wisdom, we have to move away from science, and say, we will only give you (science) this much space/ power in our lives and not more than that. Actually one can totally do away with science and replace it with philosophy and wisdom.
