“We should bear in mind that for all the seeming or promised advancements of science, it has no capacity whatsoever to actually inform us about the nature of beings, objects or reality. No one knows what the Sun or a rock is, science has no idea what organisms or consciousness are — and the scientific ‘worldview’ ‘poses’ them as objects, machines and ‘parts’ — which they are not and cannot be. Until and unless we depart relation for the purposes of analysis.

There is no ontological power in this way of knowing; its primary results are technological, not relational. And, in most cases, technologies obliterate and replace relationships — and where they do not, they intrude upon, counterfeit, and corrupt them.

As a way of knowing, science is fundamentally unsound and unsafe, in any and every culture whose orientations do not provide the necessary and intelligent contextual limits and expressions of its activities and enactions.”
