"MOQ response:
Quite simply; because science (and the ‘doing’ of science) has considered itself to be value-free, as this is in many ways considered to be a measure of its ‘objectivity’…of its ‘truthfulness’…its ‘purity’. It has built around itself an almost impenetrable immune system to the exclusion of morals.

From the perspective of a conventional subject-object science (and for that matter philosophy, whose insights are [usually] based on scientific ‘discoveries’) the world is a completely purposeless, valueless place. Nothing is right, nothing is wrong..."

 (An Open Letter By Andre Broersen To Sam Harris)



Andre,

And you do not see "impenetrable immune system to the exclusion of morals." a flaw, an imperfection?
