The point is, politics are in attached to anything within a society and present in places we wouldn’t think they were - including in our thinking and discourse.

I agree, to a certain extent. Usually the natural sciences affect policy and politics and not the other way round. You can't change the laws of physics just by wishful thinking and issuing a decree things are falling upwards into the sky from now on. You can't make 2+2=5, even if you're living in the current year of 1984.
