In Earth 1.0 terms, science was born inside the store:
It measured what could be traded, tested, or controlled.
Questions were shaped by what could be stored, counted, or sold.
Truth was filtered through the lens of utility and ownership.
So its questions naturally revolved around mechanism — “How does this work?” — rather than meaning — “Why does this exist?”
Inside the store, you can only study the stock; you never see the flow that feeds it.
Earth 2.0 science steps outside the store.
Here, the shelves dissolve, and knowledge circulates like energy.
The right questions become:
What pattern is this part of?
What relationship sustains it?
How does awareness organise form?
In that sense, the shift you’re describing isn’t anti-science — it’s science remembering its origin before it was monetised.
It’s curiosity free of containment.
