American Scientist: New Flash: Science Has Always Been Political

By one Adam Shapiro--no idea if he is speaking for the magazine (note: not a journal).
One set of crackpot biases infect this piece of shit from beginning to end.
There's no serious thought evident anywhere in the thing.
Oh...I'll just point out, ad hominem, that Mr. Shapiro is also the author of these fine-sounding pieces of "science-writing:"

Rank Injustice: What Your Favorite Music Says About Inequality in Science
What Science Writing Owes to Its Religious Origins
Executive Order Hinders Scientific Inquiry
Did Intelligent Design Just Miss Its Corona Moment?
The Dangerous Resurgence in Race Science
What We Get Wrong About the Evolution Debate

Despite the standard, strategic, rhetorical FUD the left loves to use to obscure its bullshit positions and arguments:

The real question is: is science inherently political?
The real answer is: no.
Science is separable from politics, and good science is almost always separated from it.
The left's arguments are--as usual--terrible..and no one would ever accept them if they didn't have a political agenda lying behind them...
Leftist philosophers (" ") commonly argue for the pure and most dangerous variety of the view: that scientific arguments and conclusion should be affected by ideological preferences.
Everything else is just noise.
