FWIW.

"Science" can encompass a lot more than just medications and brain imaging, IMO.
How?

I studied social science... there are many contradicting theories. Science cannot explain human psyche....

btw, shall we ditch art too? I mean art is certainly not true, it's perception of reality is subjective and problematic...

Did Greek get it completelly wrong back than?

But science is bringing insights even into this realm...
how?

I recently read a article and nuclear deterrent and evolutionary psychology. I still don't feel anymore enlightened (no pun intended) on the morality of using weapons of ultimate destruction to preserve peace.

Or... more onto everyday level... hypothetical example: if I have friend with benefits - how will science explain if I am wrong or right? it feels good and we have good time togethers, but what if I fall for him too much and he won't feel the same thing for me? What if I am playing with his heart? How will science stop us from ending up broken hearted and miserable?

These are just two examples. YOu can look at your life and dilemas and see science will fail you.

I would personally love if somebody scanned my brain and told me which topic I should chose for my master's thesis... or rather not. i will use primitive methods for that rather.
