I would bet that the switch from thinking that the earth was flat to it being round was stressful for humanity. I haven't heard of any new major discoveries, so I would bet that this switch in thinking about whatever is gratuitous, so it won't make much difference in anyone's life.

I would like a switch in thinking away from authoritarianism to something more friendly to freedom and human dignity. If science can produce that, I'm all for it.
