Most striking to those in my own profession is the scientific high and mighty’s continual denunciation of philosophy.
This section comes with examples, mostly American, sneering at philosophy. But all these examples are too late for the author's purpose. Modern science ran for several centuries with close overlap with philosophy. Einstein, Bohr, Schroedinger, and peers were highly philosophically literate and that very much shaped their work.So disdain for philosophy can't be the key mechanism for inculcating the iron rule.
