Quote by Karl Popper
Piecemeal social engineering resembles physical engineering in regarding the ends as beyond the province of technology.
Summary
This quote suggests that piecemeal social engineering, which involves making incremental changes in society, is similar to physical engineering in the sense that both approaches view the ultimate goals or outcomes as not being the responsibility of their respective fields. In other words, just as physical engineering focuses on the technical aspects of building or designing without fully considering the purpose or consequences, piecemeal social engineering focuses on making small societal changes without necessarily addressing the broader social, ethical, and human aspects that should be taken into account.
