Science and technology --- We must differentiate science from technology. Science is the understanding of an aspect of the universe and is therefore apolitical since the universe is neutral towards human interests. Technology is the use of scientific knowledge to modify reality based on our interests. Newton's equations to explain the workings of gravity is science and is independent of human interests. The use of these equations to design a ballistic projectile is technology and depends entirely on these interests.
