I think modern science is more close minded than open minded
i don't think science really has a mindedness in that sense personally. it's just a general means of answering a specific breed of philosophical question with empirical evidence, concrete data, and exact figures. there's not really room for mindedness because it seeks to act in a purely objective manner; though individual pursuits may vary in motive
I don't think that groups of people being offended is anything anyone should care about. :•]
i agree with this on a fundamental level, that is, i don't believe in taking offence in general. of course, it's important to respect that others can be offended in actual interaction. i just challenge myself to avoid the thing.
