If our best physical theories are ultimately mathematical models, are we discovering reality, or refining compression schemes within consciousness that maximize predictive coherence rather than ontological truth?

Damn woke commie leftist media!

@PrettyGnosticMaschine I like that. It sounds positive. My thoughts were more like "nothing is real" (illuminati/sufi/daoism. There are a lot of sayings reminding me of Nasreddin and/or daoism) or "this is hell" (divine comedy: earth is also just a form of hell and people are their demons) or even "I'm the devil" (in the Gospel there is also his "you thought i came to bring peace? I am here to bring the sword...")
