"Taking the long view (and allowing for noble exceptions) science does precisely what State and Capital demand of it:—make war, make money. “Pure” science is allowed only because it might lead to technologies of
death and profit—and this was just as true for the old alchemists who mutated into Isaac Newton, as for the new physicists who ripped open the structure of matter itself. Even medicine (seemingly the most altruistic of sciences) advances and progresses primarily in order to increase productivity of workers and generate a world of healthy consumers."
(Peter Lamborn Wilson, "Green Hermeticism")
