Epiphany! Science is just… story telling!

Scientists describing the process of having an epiphany (1).

A long article just describing processes. Without a hint on why this is happening. This is what science is today. Shallow storytelling. Just describing what happens, rather than actually analyzing why it does. Saying a lot, but actually saying nothing.

And there are people who are fascinated by that.

It could be funny if it wasn’t so much sad.

Storytelling used to be fascinating. Science used to be fascinating. It used to have a soul. Scientists used to try to read the mind of the Creator. Now they just try to read the mind of their sponsor.

We used to have Aristotle and Newton.

Now we have Bill Nye and Neil DeGrasse Tyson.

We used to have Shakespeare and Homer.

Now we have Stephen King and Dan Brown…

νδρα μοι ννεπε, μοσα, πολτροπον,

ὃς μάλα πολλὰ πλάγχθη…

Spiros Kakos is a thinker located in Greece. He has been Chief Editor of Harmonia Philosophica since its inception. In the past he has worked as a senior technical advisor for many years. In his free time he develops software solutions and contributes to the open source community. He has also worked as a phD researcher in the Advanced Materials sector related to the PCB industry. He likes reading and writting, not only philosophy but also in general. He believes that science and religion are two sides of the same coin and is profoundly interested in Religion and Science philosophy. His philosophical work is mainly concentrated on an effort to free thinking of "logic" and reconcile all philosophical opinions under the umbrella of the "One" that Parmenides - one of the first thinkers - visualized. The "Harmonia Philosophica" articles program is the tool that will accomplish that. Life's purpose is to be defeated by greater things. And the most important things in life are illogical. We must fight the dogmatic belief in "logic" if we are to stay humans... Credo quia absurdum!
