> I detest politically motivated scientific theories

Then you detest every scientific theory ever devised.

This is a bizarre claim. My motivations for doing science are to understand, to create, and to stroke my own ego.
If you comment was not in jest, can you elaborate on why you think so? One can argue that all scientific theories are motivated to a larger or lesser extent by the prevalent world view of their day. But arguing, e.g. the Standard Model in physics is influenced by the politics of its day (~70s) is indeed bizarre.
