    ...a better-informed and humble understanding of how science works, and a more intellectually unpacked philosophical conversation about reality...

I would say the most mind fucked I've ever been in science was when I took my first class in quantum (upper-lever undergrad), and learned that QM isn't mystical but basically boils down to boundary conditions. It's so fucking ordinary, even if the implications are extraordinary. I'm not plugged into the New Age community, but I think that fact would not resonate.
