Right after the Black Plague, Europe embraced science and ushered into Renaissance. And then, European nations collectively conquered the entire world.

If we gave up ethics and cultural norms, that impede rational thinking, where could science take us next?

Philosophy gave man the greatest question he could ask himself "What is the meaning of life?".
And science is the way to answer it. Science is the way to bring the entire world on it's knees, to change it beyond recognition..

Our indifferent world, that once feasted on our primitive ancestors, now at servitude to humanity, to satisfy all our desires.

What we consider to be "rational" depends on ethics and cultural norms to begin with.

Humanism and an increased rational focus on ethics and culture is exactly what led to scientific revolution and Europe conquering the world. You've got it backwards.

1+1 is 2, its logical, and thus rational. No ethics or cultural involvement.
This axiomatic manner of reasoning can be applied to everything in our lives, and no other civilization went as far as the Greeks to actually get it done.

You’re fundamentally ignoring what it means to be human. Human decision making is in the form of a binary dichotomy between “seeking pleasure” or “avoiding pain.” Until your plan to do away with the framework that has brought humanity this far (the framework of cultural ethics) can supersede our desire to avoid pain, you will not get your wish.

I want science to be applied in the areas which culture has dominated since milleniums.
The "desire to avoid pain" will be dealt more efficiently with a rational approach rather than by following the customs made by some ancestor who knew and was capable of far less than we today are.

Well.. hopefully you've the patience.

People mostly want to be happy. For that they need to do certain things, and stay healthy.
Our society has economic problems that deter the latter and socio-cultural issues that deter the former.

People, as individuals, want to be happy, they don't care if something they show biological similarity to is also happy, provided they don't have anything to gain or lose by being indifferent to this person.

Yet, we lie everyday. The cultural solution to these issues is to delude yourself, and thats it. Someone who would favor reasoning and observations would conclude the same thing. I have no responsibility to any of you, provided that there's nothing to gain or lose here. People should let go of selflessness.

Half of the population should be enslaved(a large percentage already is, poverty homelessness) and history has already seen this happen before. The Romans, ancient greek city states were slave based economies. The Roman Empire had 40% of its population as slaves one time.

Social Darwinism would decide who gets to be the master and the slave. If proponents of this line of thinking happen to be of one race, it can be decided racially just like centuries ago.
Slavery would be necessary to end the economic problem. Socio-cultural issues can be ended by giving social importance to debates, rationality to get everyone to support the optimal decision.

That would just leave things in a gray area and we wouldn't get anywhere. I won't continue this any further.

Because you don't have to account for their needs as long as they don't die? Every civilization has done slavery, it obviously is good for the people who do it.

>, it obviously is good for the people who do it.
Its not good for the slaves and likely not good for slavers too given how often slaves kill their masters.

the "axioms" on which our reasoning, logic and science are based on can not be proven. Proving it would be begging the question.
>1+1=2 is logical and thus rational, no ethics or curtural involvement
it is only logical and rational WITHIN the system of logic you already accepted as true but you can not prove the rules on which it is built without appealing to those same rules.
1+1=2 might be true on paper but when you try to apply the same logic to real life matters you run into a multitude of problems. How do you even decide two things are "the same" and therefore can be counted together? You have to start categorising things and that is influenced a lot by external factors such as culture.
Ethics is there so we dont inflict pain and suffering upon ourselves. Why should we care more about territorial expansion than our own happiness and well-being?
