One answer: Politicized science.
As soon as science become politicized, it becomes rotten to the core. Science is weak because it must analyze all hypothesis, and masses of people can’t study all of them, while little groups of people with powerful decisions will always be perverted by interests.
Traditional societies are lead by traditions, but modern societies are driven by the ideal that science can measure everything. It sounds as stupid as architectural experiments of the 1960ies. As soon as science drives society, it becomes a tool of power, and the one who can pervert science can gain power.
- kelseyfrog 4y agoScience has always been driven by power. We tell ourselves it isn't precisely to hold power today and trick ourselves that there is a distinction between science that isn't politicized (which happens to agree with what I think) and science that is politicized (which happens to disagree with what I think). Making this distinction is itself politicizing science.
