And most don't understand your disaster of a sentence. Did you have a stroke?
"Since when Science, the act of acquiring knowledge trought a step by step process to be able to validated that knowledge became a problem..."
"Some peoples do not understand the concept..."
Not when you write it like that.

It's not really that hard to fix. Not everyone learned English as a first language, and guy has more of a point to make than you do.

Science became a problem when it linked with politics and business. The only science that gets any meaningful funding currently leads to patents and profits. Science is a tool. Corruptible and imperfect (gain of function, giving black communities syphilis). So it wasn't even a good point to make.

Science has always been political however, and is likely to forever remain so. There was never some apolitical yester-year from which it has descended into menial politics, it has always been that way.
Nature did a pretty good 3-part podcast on the subject re: the Journal’s history with and approach to where science and politics meet.
