Scientific advancement or cultural advancement?

[Massacrist]

A life devoted to the advancement of scientific theory seems very bleak. We are humans. It could be argued that our pursuit of incomprehensible knowledge is a fallacy. We do not have the capacity to understand everything. When you look at it in terms of the unknowns in life, science is laughable. In addition, science has yet to define what matter is. I don't want to live under some jaded pretense that suggests infallible understanding of the world around me.
