The existence of science reflects the resistance by scientists. But increasingly much of that has been co-opted by science-for-profit schemes, as in the pharmaceutical industry, or by science-for-war schemes. ---- Except that has nothing to do with deskilling and enforcement of mediocrity. The seamy underbelly of science has been with us since Galileo. Resistance ain't a one way street, so the incessant painting of capital as omnipotent in order to justify one's cynicism is self-defeating.
