You can still continue to make science as you are doing it today, in order to increase the quality of life. The thing is that you never had causality, determinism, prediction, and any hope of understanding the universe to start with. What we gain is precisely this: the ability to understand existence. You can still make predicitons, but they will be prediciton of the kind: "If you put your hand into the fire, you will get burned. Don't you believe me ? Try it!", namely predictions by way of experience. First someone experiences something (without prediction what it will be, because you cannot predict something that you never experienced), and then by understanding the context that generated that specific meaning, you will invite other consciousness to put themselves into that precise context. God himself created the world in order to experience things. He couldn't have imagined by his own will new qualia, because he didn't have the proper contexts for those qualia to be brought into existence. So he forgot about himself and reincarnated in all the consciousness in the world, and those consciousness through their interactions establish contexts and contexts give birth to meaning/qualia. This way, God gets to know himself. Is the only way.
