Science does not supply my dreams or my ideals, nor a purpose.
Except in the few cases of exceptionally blinkered and driven individuals, that is true for almost everyone.
In that sense, do I care what is ultimately true about the universe? Not as much as I care what is ultimately true about human nature.
Science probably has quite a lot to say about human nature too. But I agree that there are more fun ways to experience and learn about human nature than just studying it scientifically
I suppose I question what mankind would do if we were not happy with what the truth turned out to be, and how relevent truth is within our short lives.
I think it is human nature to seek the truth regardless of the consequences.
We seem to be a pretty resilient bunch (the human race that is) and I am sure we can cope with whatever answers are found.
We have so far.
