Greatness Without Truth Is Limited

In this YouTube video "What Does Democracy Mean To The Chinese? [Street Interview]" by Asian Boss, the Chinese people interviewed genuinely felt that they were free. They accepted the limits imposed by their government and think that the great firewall as something good for them as it kept out bad influences.

Can a society achieve greatness and golden age without pursuing truth? Can we progress when we have no desire to know if the world is round or flat?

Yes. We have examples of the Chinese, Indian, Greek and Roman civilizations achieving great heights. But they were limited by the lack of interest in truth. And in their success were the seeds of failure.

For this reason, science is discovered by Christian-based Europe which has this desire to search for truth for the sake of truth, and not by the rest of the world, which is only interested in peace.

And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. (John 8:32 KJV)
