Science has brought us much technological advancement in many facets of life like healthcare or entertainment (videogames for one, heh). But can we at least pause for a second on how this has actually improved our lives? Are my parents happier today simple because they are living longer lives due to science? We may have been more vulnerable to more ailments in the past, but being healthy doesn't equate to happiness, it is only a means to an ends, not an ends in itself. |
Could easily be argued that science has led humans to be even less healthy. I could go on about processed foods, high fructose corn syrup, prescription pills, and many other "improvements" that have actually led to a decrease in health.
