Abstract

An essay is presented on the partiality of scientific knowledge. It discusses the need to establish certain parameters for researchers and policy makers that would enable the scientific community to accommodate the idea of uncertainty in Science. Moreover, the author advocates on the use of technologies of humility that would compel scientists and government leaders to rethink their process of addressing problems within the sphere of ethical considerations.
