@Humpleupagus @Epiphany @Evil_Bender @SKracket @Deplorable_Degenerate The natural sciences have clearly enriched our understanding of the world, and even medicine has done a lot, even with all the bullshit mixed in. Social sciences are not so clear-cut. Is the common understanding of crime and punishment in our age more accurate and sophisticated than that of the Greeks or Romans? That should be an easy yes if the model of constant progress is to be believed.
