I'm not opposed to dissecting philosophy through a so called materialist lens or swapping it around to deconstruct science down to its barest components. But I am fairly resistant to what might be called applied metaphysics or even quantum theology that isn't actually useful or even objectively practical in our day to day reality.

And to think you thought all that up with something the materialist can't explain with "materials." You know that weightless, massless phenomena that's responsible for all human achievement (for better or worse) that we call "Consciousness."
Somebody once said something along the lines of when the materialist finally climbs the mount of true knowledge he'll find both the mystic & theologian there well before him.

Cut off my head and see how much that magical ethereal je nais se quois is worth. I'd imagine the mystic and theologian both figured out that after enough time passes "at the top" the whole enlightenment quest gets a little boring and maybe they should have brought more beer. Meanwhile the materialist only climbed half the mountain because he figured out the top looks pretty much like the bottom. So he went home.

The science delusion is the belief that science already understands the nature of reality in principle, leaving only the details to be filled in.
Bad science, like bad religion, is arrogant, self-righteous, dogmatic and intolerant. But religious fundamentalists realize that their opinions are based on faith, whereas dogmatic scientists don't realize their opinions are also based in faith. They think they know the truth.
