Very Freudian. Dismissing an entire range of beliefs and thought, with a legacy from the Hindus, to Orphics, to Plato, to the Gnostics, to Kabbalah, to alchemy, to modern takes on the implications of physics and psychology, as mere escapism and fantasy.

It's a claim that is unfalsifiable, and of course any arguments as to the apparent truth of aspects the Timaeus for example, can always be called "escapism."

But the "hard problem of conciousness," will still be there for the postivist reductionists of the world, and the difficulty of the idea of freedom versus the observation of determinism and causality.
