I was churning around some ideas lately and wondered if anybody wanted to comment- feel free to disagree or argue- the points I make I do not necessarily agree with myself- I just wanted to stir up some discussion

My 2-cents....

Cultural bias is not absent from science. In order for scientific tests to be reliable they need to source a diversity of variables. When that diversity diminishes, it becomes bad science. Science-minded people of today are not any more intelligent than those science-minded people of the 1990s, and cultural bias is still very strong. Scientific studies are always up for review and ready to be proven wrong---that's the beauty of it. So in this way it seems pointless to me to draw a line between culture and science because they are not really separate things, and separating them only hurts the diversity of data that science needs to function adequately.
