Science does have ways...but those ways are not encouraged by the $ySStem, because the $ySStem is run by people who are rich and want to get even richer.

This is why television, for example, is largely a mediocre cultural wasteland used to flog commercial products when it could have been used as a great educational and artistic medium that would lead humanity to higher understanding and a better society.

The people running this society are the people with the most money. They (with a very few exceptions) will only fund that which is immediately profitable to them. This means that science will seldom be used for what it might best be used for.

Not a good situation.
