Reply to comment by doctorcrimson in Reality is an openness that we can never fully grasp. We need closures as a means of intervening in the world. | Post-postmodern philosopher and critic of realism Hilary Lawson explains closure theory. by IAI_Admin

Consider an alternate perspective.

Science is not real. It is amazingly functional. Probably the single most functional tool ever created by humans! But just a tool.

Likewise, my words here are not real/true! They are some degree of functional. A perspective that could have some utilitarian quality in this universe.

Evolution selects for functionality, not the perception of reality. Science does not need to be thrown out or excluded in the context above. Maybe it seems paradoxical, but not incompatible.

Again I disagree, the absence of waves or energy is quantifiable as are brain functions and vocal cord usage. You live in a purely physical and real world.
