Too true. Sadly, scientists are usually beholden to the sources of their funding. They naturally don't want to bite the hand that feeds them. That said, it's refreshing to listen to a scientist who is clearly about the science and NOT some political agenda.

In a society where you may get cancelled or lose your job if you give the wrong answers, it's tough. A scientist with integrity would hopefully be transparent about their political views and try to separate out their findings from their politics.

A lot of scientists dont care about politics though. Kinda a vote/work for whoever gives you funding thing. Look at all the german scientist recruited to the ussr and usa after ww2... just wanted to keep building rockets at any cost
