Preamble: Scientific materialism, which has spawned ‘scientism,’ is accurate in many respects but has limits; more importantly, by attributing to it a scope of understanding it does not actually possess, it is unwittingly used to prevent other modes of analysis and perception outside its purview which it therefore regards as invalid. When examined carefully, reductionist materialism ultimately takes refuge in concept for the notion of any self-existing ‘objective reality’ is unverifiable since all scientific enquiry is observed by and via subjective consciousness. This trust in abstraction bleeds over into many other areas including societal governance in generally unnoticed ways. For example, this led to the belief that one could replace living, breathing monarchs with a document whose words could replace dynamic human leadership and become the highest authority and Law of the Realm.
