Science is a system of inquiry that involves finding objective truths about the world around us while protecting against cognitive biases. Science is hard to understand, and most people struggle with even simple concepts. However, science is still the best system we have for moving closer to truths that improve our lives and understanding of the universe. Mick West explains that people tend to latch onto simple things that seem more important, like conspiracy theories about the government poisoning or enslaving everybody, rather than understanding complex scientific concepts like black holes or how volcanoes work.
