Yes, "Science, as in blind acceptance of the authority of other humans" is the New Religion. Can't argue with that.
And of course "science, as in the tool of mind which is used to gain greater/finer practical understanding of our present reality" is a tool "which is used by despots to further enslave us".
Science is a tool. Like hammers, calculators, and bicycles. It's a tool of the human mind. The products of science are often tools.
Tools get used by despots to enslave.
Are you suggesting that these 'tools' are somehow neutral?
Do you think industrial societies are a 'tool' as well?
Humans gravitate to fulfulling their desires and wants, such as for necessities, and for luxuries.
You're not answering the questions.
A crossbow or longbow is a tool.
useless remark
Present tools as at $THIS_DAY are almost always sufficient for despots to enslave.
Do you suggest any antidotes to our enslavement by despots?
killing the despots should be a good one
If we cannot educate a sufficient majority, surely a new despot will simply replace the old?
Do you think killing a few despots today, will solve our problem with sociopaths?
I didn't specify the number, but yes, killing them will solve the problem.
