Politics first and foremost concerns itself with the manner in which people are organized. Hence terms like “family politics,” “office politics,” “church politics,” and so on. Every human endeavor worth pursuing requires an organization comprised of people, which means every human endeavor worth pursuing is political in nature.

Even science is political, and science can be easily shown to be political. Who funds the research? Who delegates which field gets higher priority in funds and equipment? How are research teams organized? How are material distributed?
