But this is not entirely tru now, we have grown past that. But I thought it is important to know this to know our choices. However I will not comment on philosophy because it is somewhere in the middle of everyting and I don't understand it much.
Nietzsche said 'We know to devour'. He meant exactly what you say and what I agree with: science exists for knowledge and knowledge exists for prediction and prediction exists for control. Therefore, science exists for control. I want to read your philosophy about philosophy.
