Science is incapable of ever being truthful because every scientist is an amoral wannabee friend of Jeffrey Epstein. These nerds literally take lessons in school to learn how to beg for patronage to do research. Of course their studies usually end up being about managerial bourgeois praxis like using skull shape measurements to categorize workers. That's what personality psychology is about at the end of the day, Brave New World style eugenics with humane empathy for wage slaves.

      I have "Caliban and the Witch" on my list as well. I can't really get down with spirituality of any kind. It's just not my bag. At the same time, I tend to come at this stuff from the perspective of postmodernism, which teaches us to critique any hegemonic narrative or ideology, many truths, no Truth. I don't think scientific rationalism is any more than one frame for understanding the world, albeit one that has a lot of utility.
