Science Is Ignorance | Yuval Noah Harari

How did science truly begin?
Surprisingly, the pursuit of knowledge didn’t set the stage for modern science. Instead, it was a revolutionary idea—the recognition that we don’t have all the answers. In the past, people often looked to sacred texts or respected individuals for answers. Knowledge was based on faith. But science began when some humans admitted that we don’t know everything. The discovery of ignorance launched the scientific revolution. This humble realization gave us the courage and honesty to embark on the journey of investigation and discovery we now call science.

Filmed in May 2023 in Madrid, Spain, as part of the program ‘Aprendemos Juntos’ (“Learning Together”).

  1. Nope. What he says is only one ingredient (to be precise: the acknowledgement of ignorance is a key ingredient of science). Two additional major ingredients are missing in what he says: first, that careful observations of reality shall always get priority in forming concepts about how reality works; and that those concepts shall be consistently expressed in the formal language of mathematics.

  2. Read this Cue ball, you chronological snob pompous in your unfounded confidence:

    Your knowledge on this matter is quite lackluster.

    Their ancient holy books tell them to be humble because they do NOT know everything and are repeatedly commanded to observe nature as the reason for belief in the holy books that you call ignorant.

    If that’s ignorant, what are you?

    It’s the commanded religious mindset, and behavioral foundation for their beliefs you moron.

    It’s also the foundation that laid the ground work, for you to sit here and ignorantly say what you say.

    Also, the ancient world was smarter than us because they could build things without advanced technology and the average layman in ancient times could probably do more math than you out of his head.

    TV shows and podcasts and documentaries constantly in awe at the brilliance of the ancient world.
    TV shows about contemplating if they were aliens or not because we’re so odd in their ability to do this with sticks and stones.

    Obviously, they’re not stupid ,you walking contradictory hypocrite bible hating God hating regurgitating parrot.🦜 🤮

    How are you so pompous to claim you have knowledge that everyone is ignorant because they “listened to their holy book”.

    I didn’t know that you are a time traveling telepathic X-Man, who could read the minds of those who are dead now in the past and know that they were all stupid.

    You sir, are the idiot. You sir, are the chronological snob you, sir, are the one with the audacity to claim that most of dead,that they’re stupid while you’re alive and weren’t there to even hear them talk.

    You are the ignorant moron, sitting on a stage yammering inaccurately ignorantly, about a book. You know nothing about, obviously that your entire career is built foundational upon.

    Science was born out of the belief that the universe is intelligible and understandable, because they believed it was created by an intelligent being that could be understood through said beings creations.

    Tell me, please, if you will , if you were involved in a Supreme Court type of issue called to the stand, would you put your hand on the Bible and swear to the truth?

    Would you put your hand on the Bible and swear to the truth that the holy books that built science and the foundation of the American judicial system is nonsense? That all your government’s and their principles are nonsense?

    And does this not make you an enemy of everyone?

    If you would put your hand on that Bible when you go to a court, you are walking contradiction hypocrite.

    Amazing how you morons will sit there call yourself scientists for sitting there and studying inanimate objects, yet you take massive shortcuts, studying ancient humans.

    This handicaps you and exposes you as a moron and all your teachers as morons and all your systems of schooling run by morons.

    “It’s ignorant to listen to ancient humans” 😂😂😂😂
