My viewpoint. On this site, getting close to maybe two decades ago I was debating the 1988 gaslighting of scientific data concerning fire management of Yellowstone Park. Hearings had been held to show the people of Wyoming the science of fire management by highly educated scientists, a resistance of the science was heard from the Wyoming population. Government’s science showed that the fire program was good for the park and all the animals in the park.
That government program was thrown out after it burnt down a large portion of the park and caused havoc for the animals. A full recovery will take a century.
That same problem of fuel management is showing up in the LA fires controlled by environmental regulations.
The common factor in both disasters is political science controlling the science outcome over pure science.
I see the same issues with climate change.
Our intelligence agencies spend a vast amount of funds on political science to be able to control governments around the world. Political science came to be in about the same period as pure science.
The term for this dominance of one group over another is called “hegemony”. Hegemony is taught in schools like Harvard and Georgia Tech.

The groups in hegemony are “allocentrism” and “idiocentrism”. Along with individualism and collectivism.
The word “hegemony” itself comes from the Greek word “hēgemonia,” which means “leadership” or “dominance.” In ancient Greece, hegemony described the situation where one city-state held significant political and military power over other city-states, often through alliances or coercion.
Modern interpretation:
While the term originated in ancient Greece, the concept of hegemony has been expanded in modern political theory, particularly by Marxist scholar Antonio Gramsci, to encompass broader notions of cultural and ideological dominance beyond just military power.

Is hegemony pure science?
AI - No, hegemony is not considered “pure science” because it is primarily a concept within the social sciences, particularly political science and sociology, focusing on power dynamics and cultural influence, which inherently involve subjective interpretations and analysis of complex social phenomena, rather than strictly measurable data like in natural sciences; although it can be studied through empirical methods, the core concept of hegemony is inherently theoretical and qualitative.

Epistemological hegemony is the dominance of one way of thinking or knowing over others. It can also refer to the subordination of other ways of knowing.
In essence, epistemic hegemony is the situation in which the notions of hegemonic dominance have ingrained themselves into the collective episteme and thus the social construction of knowledge itself. In other words, what is considered proper “Knowledge”, and “Common sense” is hegemonically determined.
