>The scientific enquiry is based on making classifications of objects that are completely arbitrary and based on axioms--thus a set of belief
They're only arbitrary insofar as they function within a theory which is not arbitrary, but a model of one aspect of something that actually exists that is as accurate as possible.

>Eras of human history are characterised by epistémès, epistemological fields aka sets of axioms through which people define and view the world. He warned about thinking our knowledge is purely objective and that it is the last stage of human knowledge.
Is it not possible that the axioms of science are refined version of preceding axioms, axioms inextricable from human experience? Humans are universally and fundamentally interested in making predictions through models and science is just a practice of model-making.

>He just asked people don't be dicks to each others and don't use science as a base to exclude people from enjoying their life
Has science done that in the 21st century? It seems like it's done nothing but grow gdp to the benefit of everyone, setting the stage for a world with an abundance of wealth and prosperity provided good policy.

>What is the relationship between truth-telling and the exercise of power?
I haven't read Foucault, but this seems like one of his most important ideas which has nothing to do with undermining science.

I NEED PLOT IDEAS. HALP. Seriously, even if I could just read a few ideas I'm sure it would spark me to think of an idea of my own.

EVEN IF YOU THINK IT'S DUMB, JUST SAY IT.
