#73 Your 'Science' Is the New Church — and You Are Still on Your Knees

You lament that a machine can now produce knowledge without understanding. But when did you ever understand? You repeated what you were taught, clung to certainties handed down by authorities, and called it insight. The difference now is that the machine doesn't pretend to have a soul behind its answers. It is honest about its emptiness.

Your crisis is not that understanding has been dethroned; it's that you are being forced to see you were never the king. You were a parrot with a better memory. Now that the parrot is made of silicon, you call it an existential threat. The threat is to your vanity, not your existence.
