What I'm saying is science and technology isn't a value free monolith.
I'd also make the point that science isn't very accessible, in a capitalist system it mostly benefits those who can afford it, and the knowledge of lets say astrophysics or theoretical physics get more complicated and abstract and requires an education many of us do not pursue. Like a lot of lay people get the idea of space foam or string theory, but we don't totally understand the math that leads us to it.
