Basically, ethical research processes, how we learn the truth, is vital, but it shouldn't guide what sort of questions are asked.

Great. I've been an activist professionally. Will this win always trumped is this true. So I worry in general about science as activism.

They are really different things and doing one well means you are harming the other.

Necessarily? I can certainly see the potential for that, sure, but not sure about necessarily.

For any individual maybe not. For a entire field, I don't see how it couldn't be.

Doesn't that reify fields though? Are fields not made up of ethically enjoined people?

No, it's the subject matter that reifies them. A Marxist and Monetarist economist are together b/c subject & methodology, not ethics.

Exactly, whereas '... studies' fields emerged from ethical concern about oppression & justice. Hence their commitment to truth questionable.

How is their commitment to truth "questionable" in that case? Assumes truth and the ethical are separable.

Truth and ethics must be treated separately. If you morally prefer one belief over another, your gradient points away from truth.
