Look, I don't mind reading long form - in fact, I strongly prefer it - but this rambling slow-walk of an article is an incredibly infuriating read. Moreover the examples the author pulls out as "not being studied by science" are BS: DNA is heavily studied by disciplines such as biology, biochemistry, and genetics. Are these not science? Other counterfactual examples are covered by engineering: like the steam engine. This is a shallow, uninsightful, and myopic view of the relationship between science and progress. Moreover - and I'll admit to having only skimmed the last third because I was getting so fed up - it never seems to get to any point. The try-hard profundity yields... nothing.
