For Peterson, the method of the sciences, and the reduction of truth to fact, may be like the linguistic version of a disease. As it makes truth about disembodied objects, it forgets the natural framework in which it is actually housed. To gather facts we have to reduce and exclude, to strip motivational significance from objects in the world.[61] It forgets that some things work within the confines of the rules of an experiment, but not in the real world.
