In the Servitude of Science
Constructive science shifts the scale of studied action beyond our ability to experience directly, understand, or to use wisely what we know.

We can no longer experience what science is talking about, so there can be no wisdom developed in regards to scientific discoveries. Which leaves us in the servitude of scientific authorities who are themselves no different from any of us.
We do this because our own experience is invalid at the scales that scientists use, and inauthentic because all the action happens at scales that we have no access to. It is not even that we are ignorant, it is that we have been invalidated — no longer competent in our selves to judge the veracity of anything.
