> I think a sound argument could be made that "scientization" of a wide range of values, institutions and other non-scientific ventures has cause significant harm to science.

True....but they are so far ahead and have so much momentum, I am very confident they are fine.

Now, if a rival ideology was to arise....well, they may not be as resilient as they would have been if they'd monitored their flock more carefully. Time will tell I suppose.

> By labelling a whole range of capitalist western cultural values, practices and structures as "scientific", ranging from capitalist economics, western "racial" categories, political institutions, etc... the failures in those structures and the genocide and discrimination they've enabled have permanently made a lot of people skeptical about the whole idea of "science" across the board.

For their sake, let's hope someone doesn't come along who'd be so shallow and opportunistic as to exploit that weaknesses, and the many other ones.
