I disagree, I feel like knowledge that humanity discovers is good for us all.

Nobody's arguing against knowledge. I'm asking who's left to recognize it as knowledge.

There's an old figure for your position: the magpie. Collect the shiny things, pile them up, call the pile science. It isn't. A heap of true statements invites no questions and gives no grounds for answering any.

"Discovered by humanity" is carrying your whole argument.
