One of the biggest issues that "science" has is the notion that there is such a thing as "normal" behavior. For example, the whole of climate change is based on the notion that there is a "normal" climate on this planet and through our actions we are somehow deviating from this "normal", that there is no such thing as a normal climate never crosses the mind of most people.

You can see a similar mindset among the medical profession, that we must eliminate all illness and negative feelings from our life. But how do we even know sickness or health except in relation to one another? How do we know what is a positive feeling without there being something "negative" we relate it to? Since this is an impossible task, the entire "science" behind most modern medicine is flawed. For example, vaccines seek to eliminate all illness, but in doing so we replace the sniffles with far more complicated things like cancers and blood clotting, etc. The more we extend our life through brute force the more we find ourselves becoming sicker and sicker.

This notion that there is a "greater good" or "universal ideals" or anything we can call "normal" is fundamentally flawed. To say it in terms of weather, we have created things we call "seasons" and we view any deviation from concepts like summer or winter to mean that "something is wrong", all the while we forget that we are the ones who superimposed the idea of "seasons" being consistent and normal in the first place.

"Science" needs to come to the realization that while we can observe patterns, and these patterns tend to repeat with such a frequency that we begin describing them in terms of "laws of nature", very concrete definite language, that no matter how consistent a pattern might be that we are the ones who create the notion of consistency. Take climate change again, the pattern of Fall, Winter, Spring, and Summer, is a fairly consistent one, but we must remember that just because something happens often doesn't mean it will always happen that way. Unfortunately we have gotten absolutely stuck in our ways such that it is common sense to mistake the way we talk about and describe reality as the actual reality itself!
