thoughts?

you can eliminate ones that are unreasonable or untrue. for example, "Societal problems are the result of science." is a generalized statement that is not true. Science can *contribute* to some societal problems but it's not usually the only, or even the main, cause.

Go through each statement and see if it's reasonable or not.
