This seems to me to be different to Baconian science where the secrets of nature are ripped from her. Here we adjust to the hidden song of nature that we refuse to see and so come to see her. This relates, I think, to Heidegger’s notion of truth as an unveiling or revealing.

And I think it’s apparent in the different ways we can do science. Take Jordan Peterson’s daughter and her carnivorous diet developed by trial and error on her own body. She is using “her own eyes” to attune herself to nature. The “Baconian” approach requires labs & abstractions.

In this sense, the true “Heraclitean” science is extremely empirical, trusting only what it sees before its eyes, (cf Taleb). Wary of statistical inferences. It is also right wing (See T. Dalrymple: “Don’t believe your lying eyes.” “Say what you see”.)
