I would like to remind the reader that this paper pertains to the blind faith the Western world has placed on science. Yet Western science is not about finding Truths located `somewhere out there' in a supposedly `real world.' Western science is about a process of legitimisation of the status quo through categorical and authoritarian control. What we must all realize is that scientists are also human, with the same social, economic, and political pressures as every other institution. The capitalist world does not conflict with the reductivist and positivist paradigm of science because it meshes very well with their logic of industrial capitalism, rationality!
``The best conceptual abstraction is the one that presents the most truth in as little space and time as possible ... the minimisation of ambiguity, irrationalism, discontinuity, and dissonance, in conjunction with the maximisation of cognitive instrumental mastery.''[9, p. 144]
The scientific community is not in a world of its own. It relies on the funding from the political world, or even the biased (as demonstrated in the previous section) educational institutions. Just as capitalism cannot take into account the small details like the wishes of consumers and workers, without damaging the profit margin, science, in the name of rationalism, isolates for itself a domain of knowledge; it demands efficient focus on its domain, necessarily leaving out society, politics, economics, and so forth. Let us never forget this as we enter the 21st century, it will, I predict, go down in infamy as the century man finally completed his egoistic quest to play God.
