Yes, which is why ethics in science is so fucking important, and yet often overlooked or discarded as being too soft.

Head over to /r/samharris sometime if you really want to suffer. The consensus over there seems to be that all social issues and indeed morality itself are neatly reducible to scientific questions, and also race science is valid and has simply been suppressed by the SJWs, who are impeding social progress.

STEM is what happens when you convince people that tech school provides a well rounded education. Everyone should get liberal arts education because it gives you context and teaches you how to think. Learning to code is cool and all but it teaches you how to do stuff, not why to do stuff.

Richard Feynman, as problematic as he may have been, did recognise that and put it pretty succinctly. Science only ever tells you how to do something, not why.

To every man is given the key to the gates of heaven. The same key opens the gates of hell. And so it is with science.

I figure working on the atomic bomb in Los Alamos had something to do with that mindset.
