My sign read WE HAVE A POLITICAL SCIENCE PROBLEM because "science" is doing what it's supposed to, serving its masters. By which I don't mean politicians have coopted science. Repurposing science and technology to serve the people means an ideological challenge. Of course to anyone who's attended a US college, "political science" means nothing. It's a department that may as well be teaching underwater basket weaving to spiders. Absolutely useless and contrived. As neoclassical economics is to economics, which is all the US economics departments teach as well. To overcome capitalism will require a revolution first in US education, not genuflecting before the altar of science. Our "March For Science" felt like an evangelical revival, everyone sharing testimonies of how they've been saved by science, or the imperative to put our faith in science. As if it wasn't science that delivered us into the dire circumstances that require the human community to mark Earth Day. Conservation, not science, is the only recourse we have for better stewardship of the environment. That went unsaid. Also left unsaid by everyone except the socialists: scientists need to spend less energy making weapons.
