Could we be missing something fundamental in our understanding of the world? Like when nobody knew radioactivity until 20th century and until then it was all green-glowing magic deep down in the mines?

Currently the paradigm of our epoch is to look at everything as a computing problem. Before it was hydraulics, then electricity etc. Maybe in 100 years our successors will be dealing with a more complete picture and their children will be laughing at schools that we thought consciousness was related to computing?
