Line 276:
* Everything can be bad, if misused. Usually, [[Averted Trope|science is good]].
** Which makes this trope especially ironic, given that people expressing this belief often utilize quite a bit of science and technology.
* Many social justice bloggers think that science is "colonialist" and "white people's power" and talk about how people using science to decide on what the world is like is oppressive, [[Hypocrite|even as they type on their laptop with their high speed internet connection]].
* Any worker who has lost his job to a machine and then worried where his children's next meal will come from is understandably likely to express [[Ludd Was Right|this sentiment]]. Of course, the engineer that designed the machine and the technician operating and maintaining it, both which can now stop worrying about where their children's meals will come from, tend to have the opposite sentiment.
* Socrates once grumbled that, as ''writing'' became a more universal skill, people would become forgetful because they could simply write things down.
