  1. Any kind of work which doesn't produce immediate products such as political science, philosophy, history, and even mathematics science and medicine (including psychiatry) will be overwhelmingly paid for by the people with the most money and those will be the hegemonic institutions - therefore these oft self described scientific and unbiased fields will actually have a heavy bias towards protecting the hegemonic source of their funding. Money ruins everything it touches.

    One such example of this is institutional carnism expressed through science and medicine as talked about by melanie joy

    But my broader takeaway from this thought (which is probably not original and something that gramsci talked about) is that no space within the system is free from hegemonic cultural capture - integration with and especially power within the system implies some kind of moral compromise that's a reason why anarchists propose dual power structures instead.

    P.S. Philosophy of maths can have political connotations in the metaphysical assumptions it does or doesn't make
