Historically, we have seen science turn authoritarian before. When the "science" of eugenics was politicized in Germany, the result was the justification for policies that led to a brutal, totalitarian government. Thankfully, the internet has spawned some sort of new trans national grass roots democracy that has been effective in keeping the machinery of the state in check.
