Summary

This quote emphasizes the role of science in helping us avoid self-deception when understanding and interpreting the world. It suggests that science provides a reliable method for acquiring knowledge about the world through experimentation, observation, and empirical evidence. By employing rigorous processes, science helps us to differentiate between fact and fiction, allowing for a more accurate and objective understanding of reality. Instead of succumbing to personal biases or preconceived notions, science guides us in seeking truth, unveiling the mysteries of the world, and creating a more reliable foundation for knowledge and understanding.
