Knowing All We Need to Know

It is a mystery to me why human beings, as a whole, seem to think that the entire workings of the universe have been “figured out.” And as such, there really is no mystery left to any of it. Yes, people think there are still things yet to invent, and still things in the natural world yet to take apart and understand better. But the fundamental building blocks of the material realm have been discovered and essentially understood.

I think most people will agree there are more things on the horizon that we can “invent”—meaning that we can still learn how to read minds, or learn how to eliminate cancer, or fly to distant solar systems, but I think, even if this is true, that most people believe we have broken the code regarding how the universe works. We know all that we need to know about atoms, the smallest building blocks of nature—we know all that we need to know about the human body, including genomes, DNA structure, proteins, and all that scientific gobbledygook the “scientists” have told us they have “figured out.” If not, why then be so confident regarding the safety of injecting billions of people with a gene altering “drug”? And of course the majority of the world said, “yeah, why not, they know what they are doing.”
