Plenty of advances in knowledge have nothing to do with science and applied science out of academia. The notion that “Without science we would have nothing” sounds like propaganda out of some academic departments that overrates their importance.
OK I admit that’s a bit too absolute. I wasn’t using the word science to distinguish stuff that don’t follow the scientific method. I’m not sure what to call those. Maybe just human knowledge? I was mainly trying to distinguish pure knowledge that isn’t used to make something tangible vs the method of using those knowledge/science to achieve/make something.
