The idea of “science” being “controlled” is retarded. As if a moral force “controlling” it would sAvE uS aLL. Science is a process. The problem is science is being treated as an entity, a force, a stance, a god.
I am not telling you that discernment and science are etymologically related, I am telling you the definition of science. Definitions of words are generally not simple translations if their etymological roots.
mid-14c., "what is known, knowledge (of something) acquired by study; information;" also "assurance of knowledge, certitude, certainty," from Old French science "knowledge, learning, application; corpus of human knowledge" (12c.), from Latin scientia "knowledge, a knowing; expertness," from sciens (genitive scientis) "intelligent, skilled," present participle of scire "to know," probably originally *"to separate one thing from another, to distinguish," related to scindere "to cut, divide" (from PIE root skei- "to cut, split;" source also of Greek skhizein "to split, rend, cleave," Gothic skaidan, Old English sceadan "to divide, separate").
"perceive or recognize the difference or distinction between (two or more things);" also "distinguish (an object) with the eyes, see distinctly, behold;" also "perceive rationally, understand;" late 14c., from Old French discerner (13c.) "distinguish (between), separate" (by sifting), and directly from Latin discernere "to separate, set apart, divide, distribute; distinguish, perceive," from dis- "off, away" (see dis-) + cernere "distinguish, separate, sift" (from PIE root *krei- "to sieve," thus "discriminate, distinguish").

i.e. to discern what can be known
Science is the process if discerning (distinguishing/separating/sifting through) what can be known from what is false and/or can not or can not yet be known.

Exactly. The idea of considering it an entity or a thing to be controlled at all IS the problem.
Science is open for all; the best science is that in which the findings are reproducible by the most people possible.
that’s not the “best” science, that’s the ONLY science, and anything that is not that, is not science.
True!
Science is the discernment of what can be known.

where the fuck did you come up with sci + ence?
Yes. Science is being worshiped as a false idol. That is the true issue.
