Down the Rabbit Hole

Science. Pretty crazy if you ask me. Developed through time, practiced over and over again, but never perfected. We use it everyday, though most instances go unnoticed. We see it in the media, in economics, in medicine, and all the other educated areas of society that one would expect to find it. But it doesn't stop there. It permeates video games, the weather channel, the food we eat, board games (does anybody still play those), and even religion . We depend on it. Technology has advanced as to make our lives impossible without it. Sure, the occasional person will pull a "Into the Wild" and wander off into the woods for the rest of their life, never to be seen again (though perhaps a simper life is a happier one), but there is only so much wilderness to be wandered off into before the wilderness just becomes a relocated society. We define science as a system of techniques used to prove something false. It can't prove anything to be true. And while this definition is great for those only concerned with semantics, I do not like it. I don't like the notion that we can never "know" anything, we can only say "it might be this." I think science needs to be reevaluated in society. It needs to be addressed in ways that don't limit it to things that end in "ology." Making something latin generally scares the bejesus out of those of us that don't think we like science, and its really a shame, because in reality, science isn't scary, its quite the opposite.
