"Science is transcultural. Science is, I would argue, anti-culture, it is
inherently, therefore, anti-colonial. That is because the very essence
of science is to seek objective truth that is separate from the
assumptions of any particular culture. Science is about breaking
cultural assumptions, dethroning authority and tradition, and using a
transparent and egalitarian process to figure out what is really true."
And you thought fundamentalist religion had it wrong.
Human knowledge has progressed exponentially since the dawn of modern science. It is no longer reasonable to accept claims without sufficient objective evidence. The harm from religion, alternatives to medicine, conservatism, and all other false beliefs will be exposed on this blog by reporting the findings of science. This blog will also reinforce what should be the basics of education: History, Civics, Financial Literacy, Media Literacy, and Critical/Science Based Thinking.
