Yet this is exactly the arrogance that prevails in all of our sciences. When we imagine other beings in our Universe, as we do in some of our arts, we anthropocentrically assume they would have human features, with only slight variations, with senses similar to ours and perceiving the exact same world, and that they would have evolved in some manner parallel to the way we did on Earth. That is forgivable in our arts and cinema, as in Star Trek and Star Wars, as they are not claiming to be science. But what is damning and is embedded within and constraining the purview of our sciences is this assumption that the Universe as we have come to know it through our science, with its space, time, stars, Big Bang, galaxies, dimensions, planets, and so on, is the Universe in some ultimate way outside of our humanly limited perception. What? You don’t think so? You think the cosmos we measure with our humanly-created technology and perceive with our human, our limited, senses, is pretty much like the one that exists outside our perception of it? That our perceived and arrived-at cosmos is the Cosmos? No doubt you think it has to be. You have never questioned it. I. BEING SHIVA — DESTROYING AND CREATING WORLDS Page 16

I. BEING SHIVA — DESTROYING AND CREATING WORLDS Page 16 …totally unimaginable interpretations! As I said, our senses scan and pick out of an infinity of possibilities of what can be perceived. What it “notices” ... or “creates”? ... is relative to who we are as a species. Even the determination of that falling tree being an event is relative, hence questionable, ultimately. Relatedly, whether or not there is actually even a physical world in which it occurs is suspect and is something we will deal with at length and in due time in this book. The Bias Invisible in Science Regardless, the point of all this is that removing our anthropocentric blinders in this way we must conclude that the world, as experienced, is created of realities that are not only culturally constituted, as anthropologists point out. There are also biologically constituted realities. The “brute facts” to which D’Andrade refers are — nothing brute about them — biologically determined facts. How anthropocentrically arrogant for us to think that our brute facts are brute in some conceivable Ultimate Reality that all existing or conceivable living beings or entities share, meaning are able to perceive ... indeed are able to perceive ... pretty much the way we do!
