Attempts at compensating for the westernism of science generally have not gone well. A notable example is Lysenkoism. The USSR was generally pretty good at science -- it wouldn't have even been in the space race if it wasn't -- and it was worst precisely where it prioritized ideology over methodology. Let's please not repeat the same mistake, especially not in the actual west.
If new science genuinely corrects old science, fantastic, everyone benefits. That should be through the scientific method itself, not through ideological critique.
