Excellent- More about Goethe in the Age of Artificial Intelligence: Enlightened Solutions for a Modern Hubris
The author emphasizes the importance of using our senses to observe Nature and recall past experiences, but also acknowledges the limitations of our senses and the need for tools like microscopes and telescopes. The Modern Hubris, where scientific practice becomes disconnected from Nature due to the over-reliance on big data and artificial intelligence, is discussed as a threat to science. The author suggests that scientists should change the way they practice observation to reconnect with Nature, and provides an example of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's transformation as a way to achieve this.

Rewritten text:
Within you lies a remarkable scientific instrument—the ability to observe Nature and recall past experiences. You were born with it and utilize it daily. With training, you can enhance its effectiveness to compare and discover new species of organisms or minerals. While our senses have limitations, we often employ microscopes, telescopes, and other tools to aid our observation. It is crucial to acknowledge these limitations and their impact on our decision-making process. When these tools replace our direct observation and personal experiences, we risk becoming disconnected from Nature. Scientific practice can devolve into well-intentioned opinions outweighing empirical evidence, particularly in the current age of big data and artificial intelligence. This phenomenon, referred to as the Modern Hubris, is gradually eroding the integrity of science. To combat the Modern Hubris and reestablish a connection with Nature, scientists must alter their observation practices. This transformation may necessitate a personal metamorphosis for the scientist. One remarkable example is Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, whose journey exemplifies how one individual confronted the Modern Hubris by transforming his life and perspective on Nature. By studying Goethe's transformation, we can learn valuable lessons on how to reconnect ourselves with Nature and the realm of Natural science.
