Viewing the world epistemologiclally as opposed to ontologically

We are accustomed to seeing the landscape in ontological terms, there is the bee collecting honey
for the beehive, as opposed to the workings of  the computer, or the polvalency in Quantum Theory of being in two places at the same time.
This is a tiring approach to 'reality' to what is out there. for most.  So there is a drift to viewing  the world epistemologically as opposed to ontologically.  In this way the individual becomes seated in the same hermeneutic posture to the world.
