Is society too scientific?

Advertisements [?]

Science is about observation and testing, right? That means there is an observer and an observed, a controller and a controlled(add that to the NSA and more freedom for corporations to contaminate the environment, and I doubt the Bush administration is adverse to science). When you have that dynamic, does society, on the whole, become too detatched? Is it too emotionless? Is the momentum with which society is moving too fast, because of all the scientific achievements, for actual people to be able to stop and ask what we're doing in this area and that?
