Summary of math and technology (sorry friends) but will also revise it if it's way out
SUMMARY I don't agree it's solving things more than it has the potential to, still humans always fuck it up. So we need to focus on that much more than going deeper in what is being abused.
What I agree is mostly all is good about XYZ field but the how / method / usage is problematic towards what it's for.
Quick stupid analogy... gun is good for quick-kill of a injured horse or animal (or even injured human) BUT sold and made an industry for war is not the way
(we still need to work on the way instead of falling for tech traps or non-thinking solutions - click click)
So I agree science and math do tend to make predictions and explain far better than anything else we know BUT some more things comes with this knowledge as exchange... with what seems like problematic numbers themselves or as another political filter of conversion made up of many people's theory and works.
It's not apolitical / politically neutral but it's hard to put a finger on who and why once transferred to a label or category called XYZ maths or you need to know that inside out to call out why doing things in this order makes it different than this order... which is the priority and why... do hidden accounting skills skew things like fiddling bank books (yeah of course just label x to something else).
Science or engineering can’t 'explain' some of these things perhaps as they also are just users (a bit more educated) and without humanitarian parts well it's just machine-mode / binary / formula / algorithms mostly (it seems).
Math and Sciences can 'predict accurately', but huaman still fuck it up or are the weak point.
How useful knowledge is (what humanitarian wrapping it's in) is arguably not fault of maths or sciences but I feel like unless there is the other parts like yin yang then it's like empty knowledge.
(otherwise we would have solve world hunger by now, and not caused it <--- a quick dumb statement but could be true if we were working towards this or not working towards it).

Will re-draft this but for now summary stands quite solid.
