I agree with you. Something changed in the 60s. The back to nature movement took over. It's the predominant strain among the under 40 crowd of lefties. I think maybe the Nazis and the advent of nuclear bombs quashed the sense of progressive scientific enlightenment. Nowadays, as we all have seen, leftist science is a regressive force.

Leftist science is not science but the tampering of science (Global Warming), Politics (Green movement) and a rejection of science for language (Post Modernism). Post moderns posit there are no facts (scientific or otherwise), just text and discourse. Reality is just a series of mental constructs. This way, in their arrogance, if everything is language then death is also a part of language — a mental construct — and we can do away with it by redefining it. This is nihilism at best. A childish indifference to reality, a luxury of the left. Most of the people who hold these views are products of the 60s, were pampered and spoiled hippies. And they continue to be that way. These people are hung up on age — they were promised a hippie dream that they’d never grow old and die.
