> The role of technoscience – the fusion of scientific research and its technological applications – in driving social change, for good or ill, is central to thinking about the future. This, to me, is the central issue with science, and also cuts to the core of why I have lost faith in its methodology and output. Questions to consider: Whose vision of the future? Its not my vision. It is some sort of techno-governance monstrosity, which sounds hellish. Who is funding the science? Its not scientists, they undertake the work for which they can get funding. Ultimately, its bankers, via government and corporate institutions. With that in mind, it is also possible for the individual to answer whether 'technoscience is driving social change for good or ill'.
