Nature´s open secret

As of the past couple of years, science communication headlines and pop-sci rhetoric have become increasingly and blatantly arcane. Notice how often words such as "illusion" are used. We are told that such and such phenomena aren't actually, really foreal real. We are told that our experiences of space and time - or physical reality itself - are "controlled hallucinations". "Simulation" theory is just a particularly computer-science-flavored variation of a much more general trend.

Many people within the more woowoo regions of the intellectual landscape seem to be very eager to see this as a concession of some sort; "Ah yes, finally..." they declare, "the scientards are finally wising up to the realization that physical reality isn't really real and that the really real reality is actually a world of [insert consciousness, spirit, quantum energy or whatever] which isn't actually visible to human perception!" Such morons believe that it is actually a positive thing that science is so unapologetically abandoning its final pretenses of actually being **empirical**, because their own woowoo beliefs are equally non-empirical, meaningless clickbait garbage. What we are seeing is not science on the verge of reconciling itself with consciousness. What we are seeing is science on the verge of becoming a disgraceful parody of itself and religion simultaneously - which is, to be fair, a rather impressive accomplishment. The psychical world is not hiding from you, concealed by your physical senses. If science is going to ever become truly scientific, it is indeed going to need to reconcile itself with psyche, but it must do so by being (for the first time) genuinely, radically empirical, not by becoming radically non-empirical.

It is quite clear that academic science is choosing the latter option, and gleefully detaching itself from reality so thoroughly as to make the most delusional new-agers blush. Nothing is hidden.
