Right. GET OUT this thread. That's not why we do science. It's for advancement of intellect.

The ultimate goal of science is total control. Scientists are trained to hide this intention with manipulative language like: ''increasing our understanding of the relationship between independent variable X and dependent variable Y may lead to novel treatment modalities and broaden the range of instruments for policy makers adressing 21st century challenges''.

You won't get hired anywhere with this motivation and that is why you have time to make philosophy threads every day. If that's what you enjoy you've debunked ''advancement of intellect'' as the goal. If you suffer ''advancement of intellect'' you're a masochist and once again debunked your reasoning. Checkmate.
