    Yup. As @MarkHoofnagle has said, science is political. It’s always been political. I realize that the privileged like to delude themselves that it isn’t, but those without that privilege don’t have the luxury of pretending science is apolitical.https://twitter.com/SOlsonMichel/status/1213644167240282112 …

    The only scientists who can afford to not be political are white men. Women and POC fought for their right to education, their right to practice science, and their right to be recognized for all the work they've done for STEM. They're still fighting for representation. https://twitter.com/AlHendiify/status/1213432546232549376 …

        Can we say the Bell Curve? @SamHarrisOrg who was innocently soft balling a person who believes in biological racism

        Not just science. Other fields can become grotesque if people believe and act as if they are a-political. Can we say the 1936 Olympics @Olympics? Who rejected every attemp to boycott the games. Who allowed Germany to break every rule on discrimination

        We literally have laws banning study of ideological hot topics like gun control, and good luck studying abortion with govt funding. A whole division of NIH exist to satisfy the BS notion of complementary medicine, and after billions wasted found nothing new.

        That’s before we even get into earmarks and pork. No, science is inherently political because it can’t be done for free and govt holds the purse strings. Now that doesn’t mean govt can just get science to say whatever it wants, but it does get to define the priorities.

        This 1931 quote by Stalin's one-time minister and chess organizer Krylenko seems to be weirdly relevant. He was talking about chess specifically, but it can easily be extrapolated to any cultural work, science included.pic.twitter.com/wK0DjOONhK

        This is conflating politics and ideology, a common mistake. Science is political because politicians pay for it - even our independent scientific enterprise has its priorities set by politicians. It is not required to produce ideologic results however, the sin of Lysenkoism.
