Kevin Kelly neatly summarized the importance of networks in his book, _Out of

"The only organization capable of unprejudiced growth, or unguided learning,
is a network."
"One can imagine the future shape of companies by stretching them until they
are pure network."
"In network economics, more brings more."

Useless hypotheses, etc.:
consciousness, phlogiston, philosophy, vitalism, mind, free will, qualia,
analog computing, cultural relativism, GAC, Cyc, Eliza, cryonics, individual
uniqueness, ego, human values, scientific relinquishment, malevolent AI,
non-sensory experience
We move into a better future in proportion as science displaces superstition.
