James Bach, if science is the belief in the ignorance of experts, science isn’t a good in itself. If the experts aren’t ignorant, then we don’t need science anymore. If we know all the answers then why in hell do we need to learn?
Learning is good because it destroys doubt, doubt isn’t good because it enables learning. That perspective is incredibly wrongheaded.
