What's the point in living if you can't understand the sciences? How to deal with just not being smart enough to do anything that really matters?
Suggest philosophers who dealt with how to stop worrying and love mediocrity. No stoics pls.

You don't have to be armed to the teeth with equations and proofs to make sense of science or mathematics. William Thurston is the most wonderful proof that maths is just as imaginative as it is rigorously logical.

Admitting you don't know anything. Isn't the definition of philosophy addressing the binary shadow created by the light of the scientific method?
You could argue that all ancient philosophies gain strength analogous to advances in science.
>How to deal with just not being smart enough to do anything that really matters?
I just assume that I'm a complete idiot. I think the problem arises when you let yourself get locked into not doing ANYTHING because you are weighing the actions against the repercussions (moral compass vs logic?).
Believing in science creates more productivity, so I assume that's why it's more valuable in a societal vacuum?
