I'm still not entirely sure what 'scientism' means in this context though. It sounds as though you're suggesting that science is the root cause of cultural toxicity, which just doesn't square with my understanding of what science is. Yeah, it has limitations (limitations that the world would do well to understand), but how is science responsible for the implemantation of "redundant and nefarious technologies?"

People have been doing terrible things to eachother since WAY before science came onto the scene.
