Science as ideology
According to many authors, including Jeff Schmidt and Richard Lewontin science is a social institution which serves to legitimize the existing social order or status quo. Beginning with Plato who favored a state run by wise-guys and not ending with Malthus who, as a spokesperson for landowners opposing the old English poor law, claimed that overpopulation will result from the poor procreating too quickly.
In Not in our genes and the Science as ideology lecture author Richard Lewontin questions the doctrine of biological determinism which is the at the core of technologies as:
- the human genome project
- the various gene therapies, including COVID jabs
- terminator technology for seeds by Monsanto
