Bravo. Like a poet who puts words on vague unformulated feelings, Tim Ingold, you put with words your finger smack on the current trouble with science and its associated big data, objectivity, neutrality, distance, protocols, methodology, jargon... i.e., lack of "correspondance".

He's a clever thinker but his characterisation of science is unfair. If may have been the case in the distant past that curious people had to destroy a sample of the world to extract information - e.g. killing a frog for anatomy like a hard ball thrown at a surface, to use his analogy However, contemporary science is more like a rubber ball and science measures the varying rates of return to learn about a substance. I've noticed that Ingold sets up these initial premises to better make his final point and not all of these premises are fair.
