It is perhaps the most ideologically-driven and ANTI-science statement of our time.

Here's what Jacob Bronowski said of science:
"Science is a very human form of knowledge. We are always at the brink of the known. We always feel forward for what is to be hoped. Every judgement in science stands on the edge of error and is personal."

"Science is a tribute to what we can know, although we are fallible.

Science is not only negotiable.
Science is negotiation. Between ourselves, and between us and reality.
The transformation of science, from the process of investigating the material world, to hyperregulation of the human world, is dark, sinister and regressive.

That descent of science is exactly what Bronowski warned against in The Ascent of Man.
