Quote by Barbara Kingsolver

Science doesn't tell us what we should do. It only tells us what is.

Science doesn't tell us what we should do. It only tells us

Summary

This quote suggests that the domain of science is limited to describing the objective reality of the world around us. While it can provide us with knowledge and understanding of how things work, it does not provide moral or ethical guidance on what actions we should take based on that knowledge. Science can inform our decisions, but the responsibility of deciding what actions to pursue based on scientific insights lies with individuals and society as a whole.
