I guess so. I kind of think of science and capitalism as tools, not as a culture. I'm a Marxist of some sort because I think that the whole culture thing is evolving, though less quickly than scienctific capitalism.

For example, because of science we can now reasonably separate coitus into two goals: reproduction and pleasure. By separating them we have removed the most important reason for the taboos surrounding sexual intercourse. Everybody knows that the taboo is crumbling but we sure as heck have no idea what is going to replace it. Also, since we have separated coitus into two functions we are faced with asking why homosexuals can't have pleasure-sex, too? Another taboo crumbles.
