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.

  1. How funny, now Harari thinks he knows everything and wants to change the human race into artificial intelligence.

    Not happy with God's creation, he seeks to help 😈 invert creation into something else

    "Science is based on ignorance"
    Indeed ! Especially when it is misused to undermine God and to force 😈 laws on mankind.

    Under this definition, you are, sir, indeed, ignorant.😊

  2. Sir, It's not science that discovered ignorance. Science always discovers material facts.

    It is philosophy that discusses "abstract ideas" like beauty, love, poetry, ignorance, knowledge etcetra.

    The first man of philosophy was Socrates who defined his own ignorance in the following words:

    "The only thing I know is that I know nothing."
    (Socrates)
