Sciences as Merely Palliative

“All the sciences, be they natural or social sciences, can help humanity only partially because they can only help one alleviate the symptoms, and that, too, only temporarily because as long the disease called ignorance festers inside, it will keep producing some new symptom or the other to which the scientists have to keep responding anew. What is that ignorance? Think and find out.”
