Feynman gave a talk once which included a by-the-way remark like "this is not a scientific age". It stuck in my mind because of course that wasn't the common view of the 1950s or 60s when he said it. The obvious reason to say it is that some people still consume astrology, etc. But I came to realize that this is the sort of non-scientific-ageness that stands out. About all sorts of important things in daily life we don't collectively act as if we're curious about the truth and ready to do what it takes to learn it. If this were a scientific age then not routinely checking practices like this would stand out. Everyone would wonder if they had something to hide.

Programming was less routinely scientific like that in my own experience earlier in my career when automated testing was less common.

I think the Feynman talk was the one that turned into his posthumous book The meaning of it all, though I'm not sure.
