Authbition Weekly — Science Is a Method
Taking back the freedom to think for ourselves
Welcome to the weekly newsletter for Authbition—it’s Authenticity and Ambition. It’s the best of the best, built on vulnerability, non-attachment, caring, thoughtfulness, and whole-mindedness.
🎙️ The Podcast
In this short episode, I reflect on how science — a method of discovery — is sometimes mistaken for absolute truth. I challenge the idea that believing in science is the same as understanding it. This isn’t an anti-science message; it’s a call to free thinking. Let’s take our minds back.

💡 Reflection
Science isn’t the enemy — certainty is. I’ve spent decades teaching students to question authority, evidence, and even themselves. The problem isn’t disbelief in science; it’s mistaking belief for understanding.
We lose curiosity when we treat discovery as dogma. The best scientists I’ve met are humble in the face of uncertainty — they honor the method without worshipping the answers. Whole-mindedness invites both rigor and wonder. It’s the best of the best: embracing science as a disciplined way to stay curious.

No One Knows The Answers To Life’s Biggest Questions
(Which makes your guess as good as anyone’s) by David Milgrim
Milgrim reminds us that even in our age of data and discovery, no one truly knows what life is, or why gravity works, or what lies beyond our universe. Rather than despair, he finds liberation — the freedom to define meaning for ourselves. Together, we shape reality through what we value and reject. His reflection is a comforting call to humility and shared curiosity in this “wonderously vast and divine mystery.”
