I like this comment, and I'd like to deplore the ongoing charade that science is uncovering truth through an objective process (the purpose of the aseptic, toneless writing style of scientific publication), rather than just creating more stupid, boring human idealizations of reality. For fuck's sake, why did we spend all of the twentieth century tearing down God, dogma, and the notion of a unitary truth only to conduct the same debased worship in the church of Science?
