I actually don't mind it all that much. In a way it's a backlash against this popular apolitical "progress" ideology exemplified by reddit techdude ethos, that treats politics as irrelevant and considers any emerging technology to be beyond reproach.

It's obvious that under capitalism the fruits of progress are going to be wielded by the rich, most likely for nefarious purposes, so ruthless critisizm is nessesary.

On the the other hand after the moonhexgate a bunch of people who I thought was smart started unironically talking about how it's impossible to hex the moon because it's too powerful or something, so you should probably take what humanities people are saying about science with a grain of salt.
