You've synthesized the two cultures but a "large chunk" of humanity has not. The guy in the story is definitely deep in the "humanities" culture. Its unscientific in the cultural sense, because he's on team "humanities" not "science" such that its hard for people in team "science" to understand him. There's a classic Chomsky linguistics example of a cool valid line of English that no matter how cool it looks is none the less complete nonsense. Thats what you're up against arguing with the Humanities tribe "Your argument makes no scientific or logical sense" "Who cares its beautiful and inspirational and I'm not on tribe Science so it doesn't matter" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Two_Cultures https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Two_Cultures Unfortunately as the two cultures become more mutually incomprehensible, cultural "islands" are polarizing such that large cultural groups literally cannot talk to each other anymore. Its interesting watching the two cultures as they exceed escape velocity from each other. We have science and economics unconcerned with the morals, ethics and humanities of what they do, with team humanity running our propaganda institutions (education, media) totally unconcerned with their ideas accelerating separation from our increasingly scientific real world.
