Am I the only one that thinks that science destroyed all the magic and imagination the old days had? I mean people would literally dedicate their entire lives for something and believed in it without regardless of the consequences

Yeah, no one has ever written about this before, man. You're the first one to have thought of disenchantment

Exactly. 60 years ago science was a very different beast. Rather than a method of deluding and obfuscating information from general laymen, it was a method of understanding this incredibly complex and deep world.

I'd say the absolutely worst aspect of "science" today is all the pride and cheerleading. After the internet boom, millions of uneducated white boys decided that they knew anything and everything there is to know because they are capable of skimming over peer-review journals. They have no soul or interests, just a bunch of fun facts and pop-culture. My advice is to fancy the idea of wacky shit like flat earth and ayyyliums, if not simply to keep your mind busy in this era of endless distractions.

You're like 200 years late with this sentiment.

Also the same thing happened in Rome, see the transition from Homer, who sincerely believed in the gods, to the urbane, skeptical Ovid.

Of course you're not the only one. What a stupid notion. Read a book, damn it.

If you would read science you'll find that it is often more miraculous and interesting as magic, mythology and all that sort of stuff.
I don't get the whole "it is just atoms" meme.

This. Poorly educated people think that science proves that the world is mechanic, and this mindset kills any attempt to think imaginatively about nature.
Public education is the mother of atheism.

Most people don't give a shit about science and it doesn't affect their life at all. Don't make the mistake of thinking 4chan and reddit represent the world. Remember that almost half of Americans don't think evolution is real.

Rationalism and science always stifles and degenerates the will power of a culture after their transition into civilization. The solution to this civilization-problem is always the same, and has worked for every high culture; which is:
The resurgence of faith, authority, religion, and the affirmation of absolute political imperialism.
