The Myth of Perfect Knowledge: Science will never be able to give a completely objective description of the world. That should make us humbler—and wiser. (Carlo Rovelli, The Atlantic)
The modern world owes a lot to the Enlightenment, the 18th-century intellectual movement that emphasized the power of reason. But the Enlightenment also created a myth: that we can get to know the objective world completely, with total clarity, as if we were looking at it from the outside.
Thankfully, Hume saved us from this dead-end.
