We need to make it so that science>ideology in prestige terms, which will be really tricky.
People tried this in the late 19th/early 20th century (look up “technocracy” if you want to learn more). That’s how we got into the mess we are in now.
My understanding is that the technocracy movement were more engineers than social scientists, and were not an influential movement anyway.
Anyway, the problem isn’t that scientists are inherently biased, its that if they mention certain hypotheses publicly they will be fired because of journalists.
Incidentally, I know neuro/cognitive scientists at a very left-wing university, and they believed in certain gender/racial cognitive differences, despite ideology.

The mess where we’re wealthier, living longer, etc?
The mess that what passes for “social science” is a bunch of BS.
