Do you think true knowledge is intrinsically good?

Absolutely. That's why we must destroy science.

Science constantly provides new insights -true facts, relations, ways of thinking about things, all of which most of us know nothing about.

The more successful science is, the greater our ignorance. Since ignorance is objectively bad, the only ethical move is to destroy science.

So then why haven't we done it.P

Fortunately, most people are ignorant of logic.
