This song details the negative effects science has had upon our society. While it is more often than not hailed in a positive ‘omniscient’ light, Serj believes it has robbed us of the most powerful part of our existence.

Historically religion has been the primary source of education and ideologies, but as we have developed a greater understanding of scientific laws the focus of ‘knowledge’ has shifted from blind faith to concrete evidence.

Most historic disputes have involved or been centralised around religion, and it has been used historically to appease the masses living in impoverished conditions with promise of reward in the after life if we suffer in this one. We have replaced what has been our most powerful motivator with undeniable, uninterpreted facts.

The main point is that faith and spirit are more powerful than any laws of physics or amount of scientific facts, and that removing this crucial element from our existence will destroy all that we have known and stood for.

It’s not about knowing, its about believing.
