a: scientism ~
b: libertarianism
What:
"Libertarians cloak themselves in the language of freedom, going so far as to name their ideology after liberty, which is almost universally admired. Science chauvinists (my term for practitioners of scientism - "scientist" having been taken) do the exact same thing, invoking "science" as if the debate were "science: thumbs up or thumbs down?"
