In short, we need post-modern thought. We need absurdism. We
   need lying. We need to alternatives to reductionism like
   emergence, etc because: empirical, objective knowledge is very
   limited in scope. It is pragmatic and great for what it does,
   but it has to be kept in perspective. == empricism, objectivism,
   reductionism, had their heads chopped off in the late 20s/early
   30s by physics itself. Hanging onto it is a pretender's game. We
   know too much now and can't go back to the 19th century science.
