That's where it leads to on spectrum. If we see it in spectrum rather than discrete localities then it slides into what we call nihilism. Willamena, I work in a highly reductive field called construction. Reductionism isn't infallible. If reductionism was infallible we would never make a single mistake. Inference and assumptions undergird a lot of our thinking that we don't fully realize and it's difficult enough to deal with it in something so simple as construction, a something created by us. We then turn and try to apply that to the not created world around us which is larger than us and that's when reductionism totally fails like the Greek God narrcisius. There may be more to the characters than we understand in those Greek stories in relationship to reductionism.That's nihilism, not reductionism.
