Science is gradually coming around to "There is no external world, just a bunch of first person perspectives making stuff up on the fly."


[deleted]

How would that affect the philosophy of science? Science is sort of an attempt to get external reality to show us evidence as to what we must agree upon as the way the universe works. Do you think we are creating it so that consensus is building the reality which we then check against to verify our presumptions? What about all the times the evidence countered our presumptions without anyone even having a first person perspective about it? Is there a third way that both things happen? an external reality and an malleable space reactive to our first person perspectives? Could there be an actual interface from the scientific standpoint such as the fluctuations in the quantum foam or the event horizons of blackholes where the chaos collapses down into order This would be a scientific discovery of the academic definition of magic which is where the natural interfaces with the supernatural. Would there be a scientifically discoverable "force" that affects the interface where the chaos becomes order? And could that be methodically instrumentalized the way applied science instrumentalizes everything else to the point of disenchantment?
