What a great place! Look, the function of the link is simply to establish that scientism exists as a perfectly valid and non-creationist term (unless you are calling Arendt a creationist? LOL!). If you want to downding me because a reference I gave lacks some sort of ideological purity, or whatever, fine. I am beginning to positively enjoy the negative karma as a very good joke.

I agree the statement you quoted is simply an opinion: it is a defensible opinion, even if I don’t agree with it. However, if you DON’T think that scientific endeavors threaten society, you are perfectly blind to both history and the modern world. It is naive to see science as an unmixed good.
