Knowledge is no longer about encountering reality, but about processing it through methods. As systems become more precise, everything becomes measurable, usable—and strangely more distant.
What cannot be measured begins to disappear. What cannot be translated into a system no longer fully counts as real.
From there, a deeper tension emerges: every form of knowledge depends on a prior way in which things appear to us—something no method can fully capture or explain.
So the question is no longer just what we know, but what makes knowing possible at all.
And that leads to a final problem:
if science relies on conditions it never examines… what exactly is it doing when it calls itself thinking?
