Anti-Science

This is not an original defense, but I think it is topical.  CS Lewis is criticised for being anti-science in That Hideous Strength. He defended himself that the only real scientist in the book, the chemist Bill Hingest, resigns from the N.I.C.E and is mysteriously murdered on his way home that night. The real scientist wanted nothing to do with those who were claiming to be scientists but weren't. They had a veneer of scientific talk and had an attitude of stopping all argument by claiming the mantle of science, but Lewis called that scientism, an entirely different thing. 

It is worth noting that these were primarily journalists and social scientists. There were also some second-and-third rate scientists in the background who may have been in legitimately scientific fields of study, but had been co-opted by the excitement of getting to be on the deciding edge of being important and making other people do things charting a course for the progress and uplift of humankind.

With a change of some cultural details, something similar could be written today. They showed their colors 75 years ago, then.  Not to the average observer, perhaps, but at least to one who was as clear-eyed as Lewis.  That's what I call being woke.
