/Their worldview is what is called the "materialistic paradigm."
According to this view, there is only one hard reality, namely that
which is observable through the senses. This dualistic approach would
separate the observer from the observed, subject from object - they
don't seem to be able to explain consciousness in this new paradigm.
In so doing, all of the information about other or "unseen" realities
that has become available to us through consciousness research is
blocked, so that they even restrict our understanding of consciousness
and experience itself.
From reading their posts, it would appear that any phenomenal
experience that is not available to the senses is a sham. According to
William James, it is a mistake to think of science is a closed and
completed font of truth and that unclassifiable phenomena must be untrue.
