/sci/ - Science & Math

Hello /sci/ I am here to ask a question to something you probably would rather not talk about.

>why does /sci/ hate /pol/ so much?

This hate only seems to go one way, and while I have my speculations, I'd like to hear yours as well.

I believe that one of the underlying reasons to this hate is due to the long-standing habit of science being used for political means, with scientific racism being a prime example of such. The problem I have with this answer though, is that it's intrinsically contradictory; for much of science's practices are deeply rooted in politics for self-preservation (funding) if nothing else. Is /sci/'s disdain of /pol/ a manifestation of a larger conflict? That conflict being an unwanted symbiotic relationship between the scientific community and politics?

Your input on all of this would be greatly valued.
