The belief that science doesn't just describe reality but constitutes it—that what science cannot measure does not exist, that scientific methods are the only path to knowledge, that scientific truths are the only truths. Scientific Hyperrealism is scientism on steroids: not just the view that science is valuable but that it's all that's valuable, not just that science works but that nothing else works. It dismisses art as decoration, philosophy as confusion, religion as delusion, experience as anecdote. It produces a world perfectly described and utterly impoverished—a map of everything and a territory of nothing.
