Play with that theme as you like.
What once was a vessel of unlimited exploration has become a weapon of dominance.
Instead of "Let's test and see if that's possible" we have "These are the things which are possible."
One instance with one set of circumstances are taken and called law.
The human imagination -- the most powerful source of knowledge known to man -- is dubbed an "illusion", a trick of the brain. Where, in defiance of rigorous philosophy, we're told all that we are resides.
And we're told philosophy (the oldest and most pertinent of the sciences) is useless and that when Nietzche said "God is dead" that what he meant was science has replaced him.
Contemporary science is utter rubbish. True science ended in the 50s.
