If you think philosophy explains the world I’ve got a bridge to sell you

philosophy, that is

its scientific to understand a tomato is a fruit, but it takes philosophy to understand that you dont put it in a fruit salad?

3 pages of schopenhauer explain a shitton

Fruit is an arbitrary definition

We build walls around fuzzy concepts and label them

You didn't demonstrate how It is bullshit. Scientism gives explanations of objects, by reducing them to their components and qualities. A human isn't a human, but a bundle of cells

look at the conservative over here

what does philosophy do?

How are you going to prove that a human is

Philosophy is level wisdom

Science doesn’t reduce things to components it also studies the relationships which are more important than the components

The ability to logically get to a conclusion of what is out there

and more

That’s what anti reductionists get wrongs

Relationships are everything

@fuguer relations are also reductionist

so just thinking about thinking

Philosophy is gay. <:FeelsKek:379422423206068245> Anyone can do it. All philosophy is is day dreaming and some flibba bothered to write it down. <:pepekek:649611550809653248>

i like thinking about thinking

and methodologies

and metaphors

if that's philosophy, then i like those things

I wish you could see the world as i see it

science is just about predictions tbh, what else would it be? more lab coats and beakers = more scientific?

a lot of philosophy seems to be overly complex explanations of simple phenomena

You can't explain why a painting is representing something, by saying there is a bunch of paint particles on paper, you see for example a picture of war, It represents war. Its also not Its relationship with humans

with lots of invented terminology

pointlessly

Yes that’s why I’m saying calling science reductionist misses the point that relationships are what’s important

@fuguer Relations are just another way to reduce objects. A human is not a relation of cells, Its a human

hnnnnnggggggg

How the paint interacts with photons and your eye and then your neurons

humans are gay

sometimes i hear a devotee of some particular philosophy accidentally slip into normal speech and explain his whole idea in a very simple, sensible way

@stem language is made up of invented terminologies. Does that make it false?

this is what I expect when I move to the balkans

But that’s very complex and hard to reduce to a sound bite

then he goes back to the vague bullshit
