Yep. It's stunning to me as someone who is on both banks of humanities and STEM how the STEM side has simultaneously the assertion of how great Western science is and the total aversion to critical thought about that assertion. It's a system of power called patriarchy which works in tandem with white supremacy yoked to timespace of capitalism that underpins the logic of our order. Necropower is the term. Millions of pages of peer-reviewed articles beneath science to engage with impoverishing science. It's sad.
