Damn, this place sure is full of death and no one believes in love anymore. I do, still. Suicide, mental illness and love can coexist. Not really perfectly, but they can. I also believe in God. Science is just the tool to push people into suicide. Period. I think Devil and Hell which God is referring to are those inhumane things: Science, robots, artificial (insert word here)... Hell is what we make in life, no hell after death. Bloody science, wrecked my life totally. Now I understand that people in middle ages were HAPPIER, albeit had much harder life. Guess the happiest life had stone age people.
Explaining love, life and God by equations and science is laughable and dumb. Science doesn't and can't explain everything. If it could, we would all know perfect way to tie a knot and hang ourselves.

I believe in love still, I am fortunate to have it in my life in various forms. It does not matter it is just brain chemicals. It does not dilute the human experience and formation of cherished memories and attachments.
Science is just the tool to push people into suicide.
Can you demonstrate an example of science being just a tool to push people into suicide?
How did science wreck your life entirely? I am honestly curious.
people in middle ages were HAPPIER
I am not sure where you get the idea people were happier in the middle ages from? It is true there are no happiness index studies to be looked over from the time to compare to now.
However, one thing I do understand logically is it is next to impossible to be happy if you are starving, chronically ill with no meaningful treatment options and no support if you can't work, and chronically abused for just existing.
The medieval era was pretty much dominated by those three things. Constant famines, caused by weather, disease and wars. Prevalent sickness where an infected cut could cause disabling conditions and even eventually kill you, with treatments more likely to maim and kill you than actually help you recover. Also if you were ill it was your fault, you must have done something to deserve it, so spite was a common response to the sick. The atrocities of the middle ages are well documented, its pretty difficulty to be happy amidst an atrocity you are living through.. Entire demographics also suffered, women beaten for being women because they are dirty things and it is good for them. I imagine there were a lot of very unhappy women in the medieval era, especially considering infant mortality at the time. Generally, happiness is not associated with children dying, and a lot of children died back then. Happiness is also not associated with being tortured or deprived of liberty because you fit a certain incorrect demographic defined by kings and queens whose mood or faith changes. If you were poor, being abused was a staple diet of normality. The medieval era was most likely not a happier time.
Guess the happiest life had stone age people.
No way to know, but being much smaller and community-based it may well be true. Strong Familial relationships and community are one strong measure of happiness. People are factually happier if they feel they belong and have a purpose. Modern society has kind of lost a lot of community. Creating a vast number of many lonely people with nothing to turn to. Not because it is evil, but just because of the numbers of people. We are hard-wired to only consider a certain number of people as individual people with feelings. Everything beyond that certain number gets rendered down into a concept, and it is easy to be cruel and dismissive to concepts you don't agree with. Or forget a person exists in the first place if they have no meaningful impact on your life.
Science doesn't and can't explain everything. If it could, we would all know perfect way to tie a knot and hang ourselves.
It does not matter science can't explain everything, what it does know is still useful. The irony is you are using it right now to spread your anti-science opinion on a digital medium. Something that only exists because of scientific understanding in the first place. A medium comprised of engineering, physics, and mathematics, and probably many more I am too lazy to list.
Your questions about Nembutal, those answers you seek, are also derived from various scientific disciplines. Chemistry and physiology.
Science does technically know the optimum way to hang a person. Since hanging convicts has been a common historical past time and still is in some cultures. Funnily enough, it was a reverend who derived the more humane math needed for a more efficient drop hanging. But I am not surprised as those with faith were also the early pioneers of science.
