Scientific arrogance

Nature

Western science is founded on the belief that knowledge inexorably progresses: the new and improved inevitably drive out the old and fallible. Western science also presumes to be objective and thus more rigorous than other systems of thought.

Claim

Scientists think that they have a divine right to appropriate society's resources for themselves simply because of their calling.
